Disney is portrayed as racist due to lyrics in several films such as Pocahontas and Aladdin.
This website explains the corporation of Disney and gives more in-depth information about cartoon animation and the background of films. For example, the lyrics in Pocahontas in one particular song say that the native americans are savages and pocahontas herself seems to be very un-educated about the world around her. Where as John Smith (British White, Blonde male) is very educated and well off with money and life styles representing that the British are wealthy and it shows this throughout the film when the British Chief gets greedy and tries to steal their gold and their land - makes us look like bad people. And lyrics from a song in a scene says "They're not like you and me. Which means they must be evil. Savages! Savages!" - which makes the British look stereotypical and self centered.
