I noticed you didn’t mention the other in this “stupid article”.
Here’s Peter Pan:
Disney isn’t denying the racism in Peter Pan. In fact, when Disney+ launched, Peter Pan was one of a handful of films that included a sensitivity warning: “This program is presented as originally created. It may contain outdated cultural depictions.” The offensive portrayal of a Native American tribe is not unique to the Disney film either—it comes from the original play and novel by J.M. Barrie. But as Smithsonian Magazine notes, “The 1953 Disney movie doubled-down on racial stereotypes; one of the film’s songs is ‘What Made the Red Man Red.'”
Dumbo:
Like Peter Pan, Dumbo is one of the classic Disney films to get a content warning on Disney+. The movie’s most controversial moment arrives when the titular elephant meets a group of crows. “The black birds are depicted using African American stereotypes of the time, with jive-like speech patterns and jazzy-gospely songs sung in harmony,” as the Washington Post notes. “The main bird, named Jim Crow, was voiced by white actor Cliff Edwards, who engages in the vocal equivalent of blackface.”
What they said about Alladin:
Shortly after its release in 1992, Aladdin was called out for negative and damaging depictions of Arab culture. Disney actually changed two lines in the film for its home video release following pressure from the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.
Beauty and the Beast
While not everyone agrees that the love story between Belle and the cursed prince is problematic, some have claimed that Beauty and the Beast actually glorifies Stockholm syndrome. After all, Belle only falls for the Beast after he locks her up in his enchanted castle and separates her from her beloved father.
ABC is Disney

And Disney was built by a guy that was at least very racist, and probably nazi adjacent.
