I had never heard of the Boy Thursday' before riadeng that article and when I saw the picture, Thursday didn't look like a human character to me, he looked like a chimp. After having already seen King Louie's listing, my thought was: Wow, Disney sure liked portraying Africans as apes, eh? That he was actually supposed to be human makes it even weirder they don't see Africans as apes, they see them as humans who look more ape-like than human-like.And the Jungle Book, Fantasia, and Peter Pan were three of my favourite movies as a kid and now it's really weird to think that for the countless times I watched Peter Pan I NEVER got how blatantly racist and sexist their portrayal of the native Americans was. King Louie's a bit more ambiguous slightly harder to notice and I didn't even remember Sunflower. Maybe the fact that all the centuars were multicoloured distracted me from the fact that the centuar servant girl was clearly African.

Hey Chuck, Sorry to hear you're at the end of the line but if your an artist I hope you don't give up on your work. We have such great iirtstac minds out there that we cannot afford to lose even one. If I can help please let me know and I will see what I can do. More importantly hang in there.
