Yes. Yes it is.
I hope you enjoy this look into the Orientalism of Disney's Aladdin. In particular, I highlight just a few of the many issues of the movie, regarding names, dress, Oriental depictions of women and much more. I hope you like it!

Is Disney's Aladdin Racist?

Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ComradeHakim Twitter: @YaBoiHakim Disney's Aladdin was considered problematic by the people(s) it attempted to simulate ever since its release day. Sadly, this conversation never went anywhere, and barely made it to a wider public audience, if at all. In this video, I attempt to illustrate at least a few examples of the horribly orientalist and ridiculous caricature of over a dozen cultures that is Aladdin.
