How many of those SJWs offended by the song could find Siam on a map?

Didn’t think so.

In fairness, although Siamese cats have nothing to do with Asian culture, Lady and the Tramp used the name to turn the cats into traitorous, buck-toothed, slant-eyed cats singing to an East-Asian musical scale. The stereotypes are unmistakeable even if mislocated. (”Derr... Siam’s somewhere in Asia, innit?”)

REALLY?? You've got to be kidding me...

Thailand, officially the Kingdom of Thailand, was formerly known as "Siam." The Siamese cat is one of the first distinctly recognized breeds of Asian cat. Derived from the Wichianmat landrace, one of several varieties of cat native to Thailand, the Siamese became one of the most popular breeds in Europe and North America in the 19th century.
Look carefully and hard at the word "Siamese." Keep looking.

Yeah, they sing that lyric because Siamese cats are a bit stand-offish, from what I understand.

"We are Siamese, if you please. We are Siamese if you don't please." IOWs, we don't care what you think about us, we just do what we want. They then go about making trouble for the Cocker Spaniel "Lady". It is a cute bit. Why, oh why, do lefties have to ruin everything. They take a cartoon lyric, sung by animater drawn cats, which, if you watch it in context, i.e. within the film, it makes a lot of sense. But, in today's world, we take the lyric and make it into a racial insult.

Stop the world, I want to get off.

Nah...not the world...just the “new” Disney studios. The original song is an absolutely perfect capture of the attitude of the Siamese cat, as anyone who has ever been owned by one well knows.
