[Salomé]

Black people do go to Disney World; you probably just went on a day when there weren’t too many of us there. I went to Disney MGM and Epcot Center and found many black people there.

Here’s something I find interesting, though: A friend and I were discussing the fact that Disney has never made a cartoon with black African/African-American people in it (and no, the Lion King does not count). Are we mistaken, or is this true? The reason I ask is that almost every other ethnic group has been depicted in animation by Disney (although not so favorably at times), but not black African/African-Americans. I point this out because it is important for children to see themselves in the products they buy (really, that their parents buy) into and the shows they watch.
