In the Zootopia project I worked alone. I made a storyboard that takes the original scene and pulls out what is racist in it and then drawing the scene again but changing it so it doesn’t offend anyone. If I could change something in my project it would be to add more detail. I think that it lacked a little bit of some detail in the poster. The way I de-SCWAAMP it was by analysing the scene and connecting it to what happens if the animals were human and seeing if it would offend a human.

Another example was when the elephant would not provide service to Nick because he was a fox. The elephant was being extremely disrespectful towards race. When Judy came along she stuck up for Nick and made the elephant give him service. She showed him that you should respect any animal and that everyone

One of the biggest issues that called my attention is the presence of racism in the movie. Even though that presence did not surprise me, it was for me very obvious and very representative of the “American” society.

Stereotypes of races, ethnicities, and gender have always been around but were widely considered acceptable in the films of that era. Almost as long as there have been people filming, there have been people fighting for equality to be presented on the big screen. Danez Smith is one of these modern fighters in his free verse poem “Dinosaurs in the Hood.”
