What Made The Red Man Red?
"What Made the Red Man Red?" is a song from the 1953 Disney animated film ''Peter Pan'' with music by Sammy Fain and lyrics by Sammy Cahn, in which "the natives tell their story through stereotypical dance while singing". Some modern audiences consider it “racist and offensive” due to its exaggerated stereotypes. Although a similar depiction was displayed within J. M. Barrie's original play, later adaptations have reimagined the Natives, while the Disney version—and this song in particular—were said to have "doubled-down on racial stereotypes". It has been compared to the song " Savages" from the 1995 Disney film ''Pocahontas'', which contains negative lyrics regarding Native Americans; in contrast with "What Made the Red Man Red?", however, the offensive lyrics in "Savages" were written purposely, as they are sung by the villains of the movie, in order to illustrate the message that racism is wrong.
