Racism in Star Trek

[heslopian]

me bad, just realised you said cartoons
shrek, the fairy godmother

Furthermore, remember that you quoted Roger Ebert, not me And also, as was said in my earlier post, it happens mostly in movies about animals (my words, not Ebert's this time), which I think is because the filmmakers can get away with it more, or at least feel that they can. If someone attacks, say, The Pebble and the Penguin for being racist, Don Bluth can reply: "but they're penguins, not black people." That's how I see it, anyway.
Incidentally, I never understood why Speedy Gonzales, the fastest mouse in all Mexico, was thought offensive. Sure there was that fake accent, but the character was so clever, always triumphing in the end, relying on his wits as well as his feet to save the day and get the cheese Also the Mexicans fucking love him.
