Secondary Research Results

So we have finished watching our movies. During each movie, we counted the different races in each movie, the number of things said that could be offensive, and any mention of religion. In Aladdin, there was a lot of evidence of the religion of Islam. There were only Arabians and we only heard one thing that could possibly be taken as offensive.
In the Princess and the Frog, there were four different races/ nationalities, African-American, white, Mediterranean, and European. There were 3 different things that someone might take offense to and there were 2 bits of evidence of religion because of the marriage.
In the Little Mermaid, there was only one race, white, and you were either a fish or not. There was no religion mentioned and no offensive comments.
I think this was a success and I had an enjoyable time watching Disney movies and eating popcorn.
