An Observation
Friday, July 3rd, 2009Watching Disney’s “Peter Pan” with Caleb while Owen & Grandpa take much-needed naps, I am surprised at the political incorrectness of a childhood fave. The depiction of Native Americans in caricature and dialect is pretty bad, and makes Cleveland’s Chief Wahoo mascot look practically complimentary. I haven’t mentioned anything to Caleb, since he hasn’t reacted or commented, but I feel some moderate culture shock. The parents won’t have to worry that next time I’ll rent “Song of the South” for the grandsons’ viewing pleasure. This was icky enough.
Speaking of culture shock, I got my Golden Buckeye Card in the mail today. Goody.
