Controversial racial discrimination Disneys popular rides renovated with the theme of'Black Princess

Disney decided to change its popular theme “Splash Mountain” installed in Disneyland, California and Disney World, Florida on the 25th (local time) to a new theme, CNN reported.

Splash Mountain is a ride on a waterway ride on a log-shaped ride, and has been established as a famous Disney theme park since 1989.

However, the ride was targeted for exodus as it was engaged in a campaign to eliminate racism triggered by the death of a black man.

This is because Splash Mountain was created in 1946 with the theme of the musical film ‘The Song of the South’.

'The Song of the South' dealt with the friendship of whites and blacks in the background of the Georgian farmland after the Civil War, and criticism continued to beautify the romantic beauty of the South, where the racist heritage remained deep even after the abolition of slavery.

The online petition site'Chain' (chage.org) recently posted a petition to change the theme of Splash Mountain, and over 20,000 people signed it.

It was a request to erase the background of the song'Southern Song' from Splash Mountain and change the theme of the black princess to the main character'Princess and Frog'.

The anime'Princess and the Frog', released in 2009, is the first black princess in Disney's history, featuring the enterprising black girl Tiana.

Accordingly, Disney finally accepted the petition and announced that it would change the theme of Splash Mountain to'Princess and Frog'.

In a statement, Disney said in a statement, "Tiana is a modern and courageous female character."
