watching the Proud Family’s Kwanzaa episode and man were they on some  cultural awareness shit.

first they celebrated Kwanzaa, a holiday Disney hadn’t covered yet.

then they talked about homelessness

image

then they had vegan characters who took the time to explain what that meant

image

all in a show already progressive for it’s time.

man disney needs to crank out shit like this nowadays.

They also had an episode on Islam and Ramadan!

image


Penny wore the hijab and everything and they even mentioned how the hijab is a choice!

At the end of the episode the Muslim family’s house is vandalized. You spend an entire episode loving these characters and then see their home ruined with ‘go back to where you came from’ scrawled over their garage. A very powerful episode.
