I guess “Little Black Sambo” is out of the question.

Dwarves are real. Most of the nearly 300 different kinds of dwarfism are hereditary, and in some socities, dwarfism is much more common than in your typical American suburb.

Nothing wrong with being a dwarf ~ and if dwarf characters can show up in timeless literature, the better.

Technically speaking 4'10" and below defines the size of a dwarf. Remember those old pictures of your great, great grandmothers? Check out how tall they were. Might be an interesting exercise to help your children understand what it's all about.

Don’t these liberal jackasses realize that ‘PC’ is just replacing one morality for another? They scream about right wing fundamentalist religion while shoving their left wing fundamentalist religion down everyone’s throat.

O.M.G - words fail - THIS from the country that gave us JRR Tolkien who highly prized fairy tales. England, you have fallen so far! The orcs have sundered the Shire!

And now we know why Europe will soon be under Islamic rule. Wonder what PC Islamism looks like?

My favorite was always........and then the dragon ate the
prince and princess and lived happily ever after.

There are some great Bros. Grimm ones, enough to leave a
child shaking in fear all night.

:) My mother used to read us Brer (SP?) Rabbit complete with voices. And my nickname was Cinderella 'cause I clean.

Jeez. No Sleeping Beauty (what would they think of Fairy Tale Theater?)? No Princess and the Pea? [big sigh] Good thing I kept all my books.

ping!

Well said Penelopesire...and see DevNet, this is what many people see here on FR, the lunatic godless secular humanist left being overly PC and trying to squash traditional and Christian heritage from this country will lead to what we are now seeing in Europe!

The movie was called ‘Song of the South’ and I think it was ban from the theater back in the 60’s or 70’s. I don't think you can buy it or rent it. Youtube has a number of clips from the movie.

Oh just the best Disney movie ever! Uncle Remus was such a wonderful, positive character. I despise Political Correctness! (But have a copy of the movie from when we lived overseas!)
