Disney’s Haunted Mansion Criticized for Culturally Appropriating the Ghost Community

Disney’s Haunted Mansion attraction has been gaining criticism recently for its portrayal of ghosts.  Protesters, both dead and alive, gathered in front of Magic Kingdom today to speak out against what they say is cultural appropriation of the ghost community.

“We are a culture, not a merchandising opportunity,” said one activist.  "The terms ‘grim’, 'spook’, and 'haunt’ are outdated and offensive.“

Like every allegation of racism received by the Walt Disney Company, it has been ignored.(x).
