I am very upset, yet not surprised, that this horrific story is not receiving much media coverage.
A White terrorist goes on racist xenophobic attack. First, he kills a father—40 year old Jesus Manso-Perez, in front of his 18 year old son after finding out they’re from Puerto Rico. Tells them they “have to go” before pulling trigger. Tries to shoot at son, but luckily he manages to get away. Then goes on to terrorize another family at nearby apartment complex. A family of four, plus a relative. He killed both parents, the father—36 year old Phia Vue, and the mother—32 year old Mai K. Vue.
This criminal was NOT gunned down by police when he walked out with a rifle strapped to his shoulder, gets $150,000 bond, and is already being granted the “mental illness” defense. White privilege, what’s new? May these people get justice. (Google headline news will come up)
And the media will make this white terrorist seem like a good person but slightly troubled.
The last picture looks like Zoidberg without his shell.
I was going to respond talking about how I have a 66% chance of developing skin chancer just for living in Australia, but no, you’re all on a racist rant about Egyptians.
Original People of Australia were Black so this applies to you Down Under Whites as well. You arent built for land you invaded. The Mutation in your genes wont allow it so you sizzle. There, now it’s about you and your bacon bit skin like you wanted.
Fun History Fact: The overwhelming majority of cowboys in the U.S. were Indigenous, Black, and/or Mexican persons. The omnipresent white cowboy is a Hollywood studio concoction meant to uphold the mythology of white masculinity.
Thank you.
I will always re-blog this
I think it was high school when i overheard some white girl put on her best semi-disgusted and confused voice and go “why do so many Mexicans dress up like cowboys?” and I had to be the person to tell her.
Why do you think the whites say buckero? Cause they couldn’t say vaquero.
I dunno if I reblogged this before but fuck it, y’all gon learn today.
Fucking christ, do you know what this would have done? What this would have meant to SO MANY people?? The truth of this is devastating. And to think it almost found it’s way into a DISNEY film??
The inclusion of this scene alone would have made it the greatest animated feature the company ever produced. Easily. And if you think that’s hyperbolic clearly you don’t understand.
No, really, if anyone knows why this was cut PLEASE let me know.
oh man WHY WOULD they cut this, this is so great, holy MOLY
It was clearly something the crew was very reluctant to get rid of if it made it all the way to rough-clean (and in a few scenes clean!), fully inbetweened animation. That is like, thousands and thousands of dollars and weeks (months?!) of labour. Maybe a reluctant producer decided they would alienate their white middle-class American audiences by making them feel “too guilty” and pressed them to drop it? It’s unfortunate, it’s one of the most honest accounts of racism in a Disney movie (which is why it’s believable that someone got uncomfortable and made a case to get it chopped)
Designing entertainment by committee for maximum marketability is probably the most heartbreaking process in Hollywood.
I’ve been seeing this around my dash and think it deserves some more recognition!
This shit is hilarious, too.
NO WAIT SHIT
I GET IT NOW
I GET WHY SHE WAS PHOTOGRAPHING TOURISTS AS A HOBBY
SHE WAS BEING FUCKING SATIRICAL AND OBJECTIFYING
IT’S NOT BECAUSE SHE’S A DUMB KID WITH A WEIRD HOBBY IT’S BECAUSE THEY DO THAT TO HER AND HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY LIKE SHE’S SOME KIND OF FUCKING THEME PARK CHARACTER AND SHE WANTS THEM TO KNOW HOW IT FEELS
HOLY FUCKING DICKS DISNEY WHY WOULD YOU CUT THIS
This scene would have made it so much better.
I understood why she was photographing tourists and the like, but this scene would have put things into so much perspective.
White tourists are the bane of other countries where the majority is POC because of shit like this. I see it in Nigeria all the time, I saw it in Haiti, and I saw it in Dominican Republic. It’s ridiculous.
Disney likely cut it because someone in the chain of command decided it was too offensive and their white guilt hackles were raised enough for them to be aware of the “implications” of allowing the scene to stay. Disney would rather protect its brand than tell the truth.
Monday evening, gay men on Twitter took the media — especially gay-centric media like Out and The Advocate — to task for what they deemed a lack of inclusion and diversity regarding representation. The conversation began when black queer rapper Mykki Blanco retweeted Sony music songwriter Jesse Saint John. Many users called out the gay media for its criminal and tragic depiction of gay men of color.
