That was in the American dub of Arrietty? I've only seen the UK dub, but I don't remember that monologue bit. I'd better check my DVD again.
And the whole "Yeah, I'm so MATURE for seeing dark aspects of Disney and therefore I'm superior in pointing this out to you to tell you why it sucks!" drivel is getting really annoying. But then it reminds me of this article here: http://www.vnnforum.com/showthread.php?t=52639 It's an article telling people why the book 'Tintin In The Congo' shouldn't be banned (I am all for a warning to be put on if people are uncomfortable about reading it, especially if they are PoC but I don't think banning it is a good idea, either) and brings up a good point - books and films like these serve as a good way of educating people about their ancestors' attitudes so they don't end up like them.
Oh, and yeah - trigger warning for talk of extreme racism behind link.
