Mary Poppins deemed racist


I turn my computer on to see this in the news.
Apparently the scene of a wonderful singing duet that I have heard and seen since i was born has been re-branded as racist.
Here is my view on this.
Back in the olden days people all over England had coal fires.
So it was important that we had our chimneys cleaned out so our fires don't give carbon dioxide or smoke intoxication.
Even better if we forget this importance then a musical at Christmas can be a great reminder.

Here is my reason that May Poppins isn't racist at all.
The chimney sweep will get soot on him in the job he does and because the song was themed about about this profession that the whole family decide to pull together for this great scene.
OK Mary powders her face with soot, Not to change her race but because it was themed on a song that was about soot.
In-fact it was a creative addition to the movie that should not ever be seen as racist ever.

Even more to my note, It should have never even became viral news at all, I do hope Walt Disney gets this resolved sooner than later.
The person or peoples responsible for raising this as a racist act, May have be racist them selves and just want to stir up trouble and  cause massive culture mess up that never needed to happen.

After a days work down a coal mine, we cant call the workers racist because they came out covered in soot.
Back in the 60's when movie was first known, all the watches of the movie would have never even thought Mary was trying to change her culture whilst powdering her face.

So if I saw some person in on tv with some cream above their lip after an ice cream or cappuccino, does that imply they are being racist to people like me who actually has a mustache?

No No No god dam it. 
Some one has simply dropped a big pebble in the pond here just to stir up racist reactions on people and to sell papers.

I will be greatful for your opinions,  thank you
