Damn, people! Get your head out of your asses and stop playing the race card every time you need to feel important.
I hate the lack of racial diversity in past Disney movies as much as most people.
But think about this:
1. Most of the classic Disney animated films are set in a location that has a general population. But that STILL doesn't excuse the often COMPLETELY "white" cast.
2. Anytime there actually IS a racially different character/cast (I'm talking about those that are not BLATANTLY stereotypical), people bitch and moan, fabricating so called "racist" attributes. Hell, I could do the same for a WHITE character, but no one would give a rats ass. What this actually does is decrease diversity in the media, because the producers know that no matter what they do, there will always SOMETHING "racist".
3. The only exception is when the producers and creators are black or part of the portrayed race. The could go CRAZY with stereotypes, and yet NO ONE would question it because they think a producer would not insult their own race! EVEN THOUGH THEY DO.
The muses are black because THEY WANTED A GOSPEL CHOIR. That style of singing is USUALLY a part of an African-American GOSPEL CHOIR. That is a FACT. Have any of you ever heard a Hispanic or Asian choir with the same spirit and power?
Also, the voice actresses are black! WHY would they participate for the roles if they were racist?! They aren't stupid!
There was NOTHING racist about the Muses' depiction.
Enjoy your hidden racist conspiracy theories.

Me a moron? Tell me, do you TRY to be stupid or is it a natural talent?
And god damn, stop quoting "soulfully". Look above. I never said "soulfully". Ever. Never did.
I asked if you had ever heard Asians or Hispanics sing with THE SAME spirit and power? Please, DO answer the question. That kind of "spirit and power" (by the way, that is how you use quotations) is specific to African-American culture.
I never said that Asians and Hispanics couldn't have "spirit and power" (ooh, look, another proper quotation) in their singing, I just said that their singing would not be THE SAME feeling as that of an African-American style gospel choir.
Now get your *beep* panties untwisted and learn to use actual brain-power rather than pulling the 'racist card'. You could mentally and emotionally destroy someone with your dramatic accusations!
