Well, duh.

I started thinking about that whole "Disney is a racist." train of ideals, and I realized that the 1950's weren't exactly America's time to shine in the realm of openmindness but that one must take into consideration that for alot of small children if an artist didn't overexaggerate the characteristics of a cartoon character, they wouldn't understand how that character was any different. Causpitz's blog picture is actually what turned this lightbulb on for me. The indian chief is clearly an almost comical representation of a Native American, but if he had merely been another character, sobeit dressed differently, a child (the intended audience) wouldn't be able to differentiate so quickly and easily from other characters in a work.
