Many thanks to everybody for the Mouseketeer information. I'm
wondering, though, if in the early Mouseketeer period there was
any commentary made about the all whiteness and, mostly,
anglo-saxon character of its members. In the back of my
mind I remember all those old WWII and Korean War movies
where the gruff Sarge would do the role call of his platoon,
and all the names would reflect the muticultural reality of
the US --even then. Why wasn't this reflected in Disney's
show?
