    Default Mary Poppins is racist

    The Julie Andrews movie Mary Poppins is racist. I just found out about this today. If you're going to watch the movie regardless, at least don't expose children to it.

    Birds of a feather flock together. Been that way ever since.

    Not sure which flocking feathers are referenced. Regarding my feathers, my quill was used merely to report a movie found scant days ago to be racist.

    *sigh* oh well. just about anything that is over 50 years old is racist anymore. Well I still love the movie. I would show it to my kids, if I had kids. They wouldn't even know what the term in question was. I certainly didn't when I watched the movie as a kid.
