Mary Blair's Family Speaks Out Against IASW Changes

I think what's funny about adding a USA section to the ride (presumably in normal attire) is that I suspect it will make the "politically incorrect" stand out all the more.

The entire thing is made up of dolls dressed in the folk garb of different countries. (This, IMO, is not racist, but a reflection of history of culture.) Even the two dolls representing US are wearing what can be considered OUR most 'historic folk garb' - dressed as a cowboy and a native american. The second you switch a section to include normally-dressed kids from the USA, it's going to clash with the folk-garb style of the rest of the ride, and make it seem racist.
