I don't understand this argument. 

What is P's target? 

Is it Walt Disney? 

P could target Walt for including racial stereotypes in his
films. 

As in Dumbo. He's been targeting this sort of thing since 
"The Secret Integration," Grover's Swift books and so on. 

Hitler admired Walt's films. Everyone did. 

But Hitler had his propaganda men copy the films to help
attack his
enemies. 

Walt made anti-Nazi cartoons. 

And Disney films were banned by Hitler,  this despite the
fact that
Disney was very, very popular all over Europe.
