Clip from Peter Pan

This was made by sadistisob and can be found here

This is a clip from Peter Pan. Make sure to listen for the quote of "What makes the red man red? Let's go back a million years to the very first Injun prince. He kissed a maid and started to blush, and we've all been blushing since." 





We asked the Junior High about this quote, and these are all of the responses:

No, this is definitely NOT a good message. 'Indians" or Native Americans are often portrayed as 'red'. This is NOT something kids should think because it is not true. Also, these lyrics suggest something had to happen to change a person to make them Native American.

This is just a story, but it makes kids believe that Native Americans are darker skin-colored because they kissed someone. Because they are young, kids will believe it.

Sounds racist to me.

It makes it sound like Native Americans aren't human.

What makes a black person black? That is what I am thinking of when I'm reading that. In other worlds, I don't think that's a good message to give to anyone. It shouldn't matter what color they are.

I love this movie!

That song is racist.

People are dumb sometimes
