What color was Darth Vader dressed in from head to toe? Seen an old Western? The Wicked Witch in Oz? Malificent in Sleeping Beauty or the Queen in Snow White? The Devil in Night on Bald Mountain sequence in Fantasia (which was the obvious inspiration for this sequence)? It’s a convention, especially in animated movies.

Don’t kill the messenger. I didn’t make up the rules.

I don’t blame you, except perhaps for missing the irony in your comment.

Disney productions have been rife with racism. You name a lot of Disney productions there. A more blatant example than yours was deleted from the 1960 re-release of Fantasia.

Sure, black hats vs. white hats may have preceded Disney, but that doesn’t mean it’s not racist. Just because something is a convention doesn’t mean it’s not racist.
