I don't believe they are, but I wonder how many people will.

'The Princess and the Frog': Disney's Mixed Race Royalty | Newsweek Culture | Newsweek.com

I can hear it now: "They've shoving mixed marriages down our throats!" "It's the liberal elite forcing their views on us!"

Anyone insane enough to vote for Bush would be insane enough to believe this, not that there is anything wrong with International Marriage.

And if you don't hear it you will be very disappointed, no doubt.

What a cynical opinion.

The good news is that you're wrong: I'll be very pleased if I don't hear it.

Its not cynical, its the color (sorry) of debates these days. Doesn't matter what one's political views are, if they aren't 100% behind this administration and its goals, then they are "racist". Even if a person spends his life getting along with, befriending or even dating and marrying a minority person, if they don't hold Correct Political Beliefs, then they are "racist".

Its really old.

Well, whatever. I think you were being cynical because you assumed that I had some hidden agenda when I did not.

And it's funny that you say "it's really old" but then you brought up the complaint all on your own - out of nothing.

So far, it's been mostly racist blacks who've been attacking this children's movie.

How is newsweek being an embarrassment? By pointing out that there is nothing wrong with a black woman being with a white man? Wow, that is narrow minded
