#Minstrel shows are so passé. Can we give the hype man a differ show? Thank you!

Delighted to see #WhiteChristmas on a big screen today. It's such a generally (ha) wholesome movie, filled with loyalty and generosity and honesty!
However, "Mandy" is a #minstrel nostalgia number, so I stepped out when that started. Came back too soon and noticed for the first time that the dancers' costumes are decorated with #watermelon slices, not cuetlaxochitl/poinsettia blossoms. 😠
This entire #racist and unnecessary sequence should be cut for future releases of "White Christmas"
