Simone, As one of the females who often lurks, I think I did respond once to the list but my message didn't reach the list. Other than that I chose not to respond because the terms of the debate were not really conducive to a sensible discussion about race and racism in Disney or the Lion King. So I didn't want to waste my energy and have my name misspelled. Though I suppose I could have entered the discussion at the level it was at, people often think I am a man. Enough de-lurking for today... cheers, Shashwati ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message. Problems? Contact [log in to unmask]
