I’ve been reading threads about this being racist (regardless of the guy who made it) .. stereo-types etc. — i made a point that, if a group of my gay friends where to concoct this, we’d be vie – ing for stereotypical gay roles in the “hood” (aka gay districts), like “tweaker” “troll” “twink” “transexual” etc etc. Curious if you have heard the same racist threads?
I’ve been reading the threads too. Most of the African American’s remarks I’ve read think it’s funny, a parody, and aren’t offended.
I personally think it’s not only a parody of the “hood,” but also an interesting commentary about Disney films. I mean, talk about stereotypes!
Yes- it plays to stereotypes- that’s why it’s funny.
What I really appreciate is how these Youtubers all got together to make this- no easy task. This was a real labor of love and it was executed brilliantly.
Did you see one of our guests, Miles J in it?

It’s stuff like this that makes me want to get out of this provincial life and move to LA.
