What Makes the Red Man Red?

Here is the video from Peter Pan of the scene with the Indians. This may explain why so many little kids portray Indians in this way in their everyday play. They are influenced by these movies, and have little to no other knowlege of native american culture.

The song is actually pretty racist. Like how it talks about the origins of the Natives' skin color, and how it changes from the natural skin color of white to the sullied color of red.
