Three academics analyzed Oscar-nominated animated films from 2016-2024 using a racism test they developed

Three professors argue that animated Hollywood films promote White privilege and "racist cultural narratives," according to their new academic analysis.

Natalie Khazaal, director of the Middle Eastern and North African studies programs and associate professor of Arabic at Georgia Tech, Ellen Gorsevski, associate professor at Bowling Green, and Tobias Linné, head of the communication department at Lund University in Sweden, recently co-authored a paper lamenting racism and White privilege in Hollywood animated films.

The analysis, published Jan. 6, is titled "Media Analysis of Racism and Speciesism (MARS) test finds Oscars so AnthropoScenic in contemporary animated films," and looks at racism and speciesism in Oscar-nominated films from 2016-2024.

We already know that people who are employed by universities are crazy at best and dangerous at worst. Why would we listen to anything they have to say?

“These animals seem intelligent. And well spoken. That can only mean one thing: they represent white people. And that bad lion and those hyenas — they have no redeeming social values at all. I see it clearly: they represent black people. Who the hell made this racist movie?????”

Aren’t lions brown?

I watched ‘The Lion King’ about 100,000 times while my three were growing up. ‘Aladdin’ too. And ‘Finding Nemo’ which I’m sure will be found to be as equally bad for ya. *Rolleyes*

As far as I know, none of them have joined the Posse Comitatus. ;)

I also used to kick their butts on a regular basis in first person shooter games. None of us have every shot a person in Real Life. Even me, Army Vet. ;)

And don’t even get me started on Mario Cart. I am ALWAYS Princess Peach and I WILL run you off the road and lob exploding turtle shells at you...and that IS in Real Life, LOL!

For laughs. And to serve as bad examples.

She probably got a publication credit for this. Helps with promotion & tenure evaluation.

One of the huge problems with college\university life. How do you measure worth and productivity? The current methods encourage nonsense work, nonsense publications & nonsense activities.

Universities provide degrees with no market value and substantial debt.
