Ask not for whom the thought police come, they come for thee

Toy Story 4 is out, and social critics see a lack of black characters. Why, this is wacist! At its worst!

Stella Duffy sparked debates about the new Pixar film when she criticised it for its lack of minority ethnic and disabled characters following last week's release.

But today Afua Adom, a journalist at Glam Africa Magazine, told Good Morning Britain today that the row had completely missed real issues facing minority ethnic and female actors in Hollywood. 

'People have missed the point of Toy Story - it's a story about toys,' she said, adding: 'I think I saw a diverse range of characters - I saw a Martian, I saw a Mr Potato Head and I saw a dinosaur.'

But lawyer Shola Mos-Shogbamimu disagreed with her fellow guest, saying Pixar  'can do better' as she slammed people defending the film against criticism.

'It's diabolically ignorant of any parent or adult to miss the essence of the backlash Toy Story is receiving,' she said, adding: 'Entertainment must always have a moralistic value.'

She also slammed writers, accusing them of making Bo-Peep 'anti-feminist'.

'She’s still going to fall in love, she’s still going to have the happily ever after, that’s not feminism! It’s a woman who kicks off her skirt to reveal bloomers.'

H.L. Menken’s definition of Puritanism is just as apt for liberalism: “The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.” Come to think of it, I believe that the city of San Francisco banned Happy Meals some years ago.
