What Made the Red Man Red? "What Made the Red Man Red?" is a song from the 1953 Disney animated film "Peter Pan", in which "the natives tell their story through stereotypical dance while singing". Contemporary audiences may consider it racist and "offensive" due to its "exaggerated stereotypes". Although a similar depiction was displayed within J M Barrie's original play, later adaptions have reimagined the "Indians," while the Disney version—and this song in particular—were said to have "doubled-down on racial stereotypes".
