is a good rule of thumb "if the cartoon has goves from the early 1900s its probably a reference to black people"?

It’s astonishing how America made the leap from enslaving black people for hundreds of years….to labeling them shiftless and lazy over night. That is one WILD leap.

They did the same to Mexicans. Which is why they hide this movie but it’s still on Disney + it has hella stereotypes.

Sometimes i feel a little stupid because it's hard to interact with American media as someone from another country (One that's very far removed from the whole anglosphere) because of things like this, it's hard to recognize something with this kind of heavy "cultural context" because obviously i don't know about it and that's not a thing in my culture/country. And I can't stop myself from feeling kinda "betrayed" by that kind of media when i discovered it, and also feeling like i have to have my guard up even with modern media because "what if thing is actually a dog whistle i don't know about" xd

Also the white gloves worn by classic characters like Goofy, Mickey, and Bugs Bunny are vestiges of the standard stage wardrobe of minstrel performers.

I believe that's why the characters wore white gloves. Partially as a way to break up the design. So you could clearly read what their hands are doing. But the obvious reference to Minsterl shows. What's interesting is how characters wearing gloves has become so prevalent in the years since. Characters such as Mario and Sonic wear white gloves. I'm unsure if the creators realise what they are referencing. At least not originally.

As an Australian it's so disappointing when I learn how something seemingly innocuous turns out to be steeped in racism. The hate black Americans cop is unreal and so heartbreaking.

the interesting thing is a lot of those terms used to describe goofy are also ableist terms to describe people with developmental delays or severe learning disabilities. I'm not trying to argue against your points but I wonder where the line between racism and ableism is and when they're treated as though they have to be the same thing. like the Assumption of the developmental learning delays in people of different races as a default. it was kind of makes me wonder how they handled white people who showed a lot of those symptoms and identified traits because of neurodivergence.

it's kind of amazing to me how long American pop culture was JUST racism. you read or watch anything from the founding all the way to the 50s (and beyond frankly) and race is the MAIN topic, it's front of mind in movies, music, books, art, everything. like, people today talk about the American culture of the past as if racism was an incidental part of it, like people were just more ignorant back then, but that really smooths over just how unhinged white culture was (and is)

🤔 "America was trained to look at a black man and be entertained" This quote makes me realize not much has really changed😩
