We’ve been seeing this on Facebook & Twitter, and thanks Quirky Taiwan for sending us a direct message about this. I tried to find the video, but this is the closest I got (0.36).

Well, what to say? Seriously, Disney?

Not like we haven’t seen this before. But it’s always a little jarring when it’s right in front of your face, in animated form. 

1. Disney should absolutely know better, being the provider of entertainment to young people.

2. The character who said this is Asian. If you pay more attention, most of the time, these lines tend to be said by Asian actors/actresses. This is a “subtle” way of poking fun at how Asian people are skinny because apparently we just don’t eat.

3. Demi Lovato is a bad ass for speaking up against her former employer

That is all.

microaggressions:

Blond child to her mother while watching brown skinned & black haired me fly a kite at the beach: “Mommy, she looks like one of the bad guys.” Over and over again, getting louder and more insistent despite mother’s shushing.

August 2010, Ocracoke Island (North Carolina). This made me feel brown.

Whose fault is this?  I think we all have a few ideas.
