Disney World closes a ride because of a racial slur. Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is under heavy fire after Goofy is caught allegedly using a racial slur, see the clip below.
This line has caused an incredible amount of controversy. In fact, the NAACP has filed a discrimination lawsuit against Disney because of it. This has forced Disney to close the ride until further notice. They will likely not reopen it until the lawsuit has been dismissed. On top of that, they are looking at ways to fix the ride so this doesn’t happen again.
While a complete retheme isn’t likely, it’s not off the table. In fact, it’s possible that Disney themes it back to The Great Movie Ride since many of the props are still lying around. For now, Goofy is being canceled by people across America. He joins the list of other celebrities like Morgan Wallen and Michael Richards, who played Kramer.
However, many people are sticking up for Goofty saying that he never used a racial slur. They point to the recording and say it is clear what Goofy said and there is no reason to cancel him. Meanwhile, on the other side, people are arguing that it isn’t always about what is said, but rather what is implied. In this case, they claim it was clearly intended to be malicious.
