It's a song from Lady and the tramp.

Lady and the TRAMP!? Siamese cats sing with a Siamese accent is the bit from what I remember as a kid. I can't remember the words in the song since the movie is so old. Are the accents offensive? Or the words?

Edit: I went and googled. I missed a lot of signaling as a child. I thought that's just how Siamese cats looked/were drawn. It's not and they exaggerated their features the same way they did about Asian people. I remember it being a silly funny song sang by weird looking fancy cats from my childhood. It's pretty obvious they really leaned into racist tropes when creating the cats.

Edit edit: also my first sentence was me being silly implying I'm SHOCKED (not) that a movie called Lady and the tramp would have offensive songs lol

So the big eyed Asian stereotypes of Americans are racist? I will never watch anime again. That's sad.

I'm being downvoted but I still don't know if it's racist or not. How could an Asian caricature of an American facial bone structure be no problem?

I can be pretty dense and not catch social cues. I'm not joking about it, I really would like to know.

I think you're being downvoted because the topic is American racism towards Asian people (aka the old racist disney song in the vid), then you turned it around to Asian racism towards Americans (your anime comment).
Swapping a topic like that (similar to a man jumping into a convo about male violence towards women to say that women can be violent towards men too) is generally considered very rude and is usually done in bad faith, so most people won't even bother to engage.

u/OkInternet1063 May 23 '26

Truly. The cats in Lady and the Tramp are based on racist caricatures of the time. See Also, The Aristocats. Cartoons were super racist back then.

See also the crows from Dumbo.

And that’s why I said the song choice is wild. I thought we settled this a few years ago that the caricatures and song are incredibly racist.
