Racism was never acceptable to the people who suffer from it.

I mentioned before, these [classic Disney films] are classic mythological tales, a hero's journey, and have been told for thousands of years. Disney has updated them, and made them accessible for us.

I've known Owen's father Ron [Suskind] for years, and this was based on his best-selling book ["Life, Animated"]. We worked together as journalists at ABC-TV News, and I knew about the book since its inception.

Racism is a global problem and it is as damaging to Whites as it is to non-Whites. Everyone must fight against it.
