Controversies about Arabian Nights:
media type="youtube" key="VkiITQnrAYM" height="219" width="294" ===This Song in Aladdin raised a lot of controversie culturally and ethnically. This song above specifically portrays negative criticism culturally and stereotypically regarding race. The song above is the opening scene of the movie and the lyrics contain very offensive speech. Specific examples include: //“Oh, I come from a land, From a faraway place, Where the caravan camels roam. Where they cut off your ear. If they don’t like your face. It’s barbaric, but hey, it’s home." //<span style="color: #b7064f; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee protested against this song for months and months. Finally after such an uproar, Disney changed the lyrics a bit. They altered the fourth and fifth lines to "Where it’s flat and immense, And the heat is intense.” None of the other lines were able to be changed but there were other stereotypical insinuations about Arabs. In fact, the narrator of the story as an repulsive slimy Arab. ===
