Russo’s article describes Disney in a very aggressive and upset tone. She indicates her anger towards the details of the subject of the article. The writing tone indicates how she wanted to address the imperfections and issues with Disney. Racial Discrimination is written throughout this article.

The author is trying to persuade the readers to learn more about Disney’s racial discrimination Russo addresses key points, but doesn’t seem to have enough detail to back up her facts. The information is liable because multiple authors have written similar subjects about the same issues. I believe the author is biased because the hatred for Disney is over the top. She does emphasize the issues and makes very bizarre accusations. She goes a little too far.

This article fits my research because it clearly indicates racial discrimination. This source was helpful because it had everything I wanted to discuss in my blog. She broke down the information and gave some basic points. She encourages others to look beyond the perfect picture Disney.
