Someone Accuses Disney Of Whitewashing Their Characters, Gets Shut Down In The Most Epic Way
The subreddit MurderedByWords is described as “a place for well-constructed put-downs, comebacks, and counter-arguments.” These kind of thoughtful, factual, and satisfying responses are increasingly worth their weight in gold in this age of social media hysteria, where the bullies and trolls often get the upper hand.
The latest example of a perfect comeback was uploaded to the forum by Redditor BlackOrre. Somebody had criticized Disney studio’s choice of mixed-race characters in the movie ‘Big Hero 6,’ discounting multiracial Disney characters as not truly ‘diverse’ and suggesting that heroes should be ‘all or nothing.’
The response on Disney movies and racist people was epic, an informative blend of factual realism and personal experience that encouraged other multiracial people to share their own stories on ethnicity and racism. Because, as the word-murderer correctly states, the population of multiracial people in the USA is increasing rapidly and they can often feel marginalized. Sometimes deemed not sufficiently ‘one or the other,’ multiracial people can feel left out by members of their family, and endure crises of identity and belonging that are little talked about in society.
However, this response addressed some of the more positive aspects of a multicultural upbringing. Growing up with experiences from a variety of cultures can only be a good thing, as it increases empathy and understanding with human beings as a whole, to the world beyond your ‘in’ group. The more we understand that people of different ethnicity, culture, and language actually have far more in common with us than differences, the easier it is to embrace each other and live together in peace.

When I watched this movie for the first time, the last thing on my mind was race. The most racist thing that I could think of at the time was: MARSHMALLOW ROBOT and JAPAN IS COOL!!!!
That's the track of my mind. MARSHMALLOW ROBOT!
HURRAY FOR THE MARSHMALLOW ROBOT!
MARSHMALLOW!! MARSHMALLOW!!
I was like, "I gotta invent something!" And there are these trash people who get time to find racism in such movies...
XD #MARSMALLOWROBOT!!!!
"Mixed race mess" what a hell of a thing to say about us...
All my life, I've heard terms like "mutt" and Heinz-57", but in most cases, the person is jokingly referring to themselves, as in the comment above. But I'm not comfortable with it, and would not want anyone referring to me as such.
Yeah, don't say that about people. (When referring to me, though, it's 100% accurate)
I always call myself a Heinz 57 but i would never call someone else it. I usually only say it to make people more comfortable. They laugh, I laugh we can all move on. My heritage only really comes up when I am out with my brother and sister. They are the palest people on the planet and I am full on Italian, it just confuses people. Eventually I think people of mixed heritage will be less of a mystery to others.
These experiences are very sad... I hope that one day ALL people accept others for who they are, not for their skin color.
i'm sorry about what i said, i was just saying white people should have more respect, i mean using "Straight White Male" as an insult is just rude, If you continue this hypocritical racist stuff, i will quit this site and just resort to other top ten sites like TheTopTens or DeviantArt's Top 10 Art section
It's never ok to be racist towards ANYONE, Ojberretta. You are right, Maddox. People do disrespect white people, and it's not ok. Just like it wouldn't be ok to disrespect a black person.
It isn't... you are acting like a reverse KKK member.

That also applies to white people
As a non-white person, I hope that other non-white people can also one day accept the white people. Not all, not most, not even a large majority of white people are bad. Just the idiots that make the news, but this does not represent an entire race of people.
@Tony: I applaude you for saying that. These "BBQ Becky" stories only fuel racism and hatred.

It must be very hard growing up with no reference or sense of belonging to a specific culture, no particular history to identify yourself with.
I think you misunderstand. Being mixed raced means I have more than one tradition to follow. My children, now even more mixed, are getting all of my parents traditions and their parents traditions, but also my wife's parents traditions and their parents traditions. Holidays around my house are like a world wide festival of traditions. We don't have a hard time because of it. We love it, learn more about it, and pass it on. We don't belong to a specific culture, be belong to every culture. We are Human, and we are the best part of Human, we are ALL Humanity.
