I could a sworn Walt was an anti-semiye as well so i did a quick Google and came across this amazing quote.
Gabler said he read every one of Disney's papers in the company's archives, and says "I saw no evidence, other than casual anti-Semitism that virtually every gentile at that time would have, that Walt Disney was an anti-Semite," according to the report.
The charge: Walt Disney was an anti-Semite.
The evidence: Well, there’s the famous Three Little Pigs scene, in which the wolf was portrayed as a Jewish peddler. (The scene was later reanimated.) And there is the fact that in 1938, a month after Kristallnacht, Disney personally welcomed Nazi director Leni Riefenstahl to his studios. [This sentence links to a NYT source.]
Jewish animator Art Babbitt, who maintained a "difficult relationship" with Disney throughout his career, claimed to have seen Disney and his lawyer, Gunther Lessing, attending meetings of pro-Nazi organisation the German American Bund in the late 1930s.
In his biography of Riefenstahl, author Steven Bach writes that upon her return to Germany, she thanked Disney for receiving her, saying it “was gratifying to learn how thoroughly proper Americans distance themselves from the smear campaigns of the Jews.”
I wonder what she would say if we could asked her if he was antisemitic?
"I saw no evidence, other than casual anti-Semitism that virtually every gentile at that time would have, that Walt Disney was an anti-Semite," according to the report.
"His Hitler Particle emissions are within ambient levels for 1930s America."
"This is no more radioactive than ambient levels in Chernobyl, Ukraine."
Even without documented evidence (of which there is in this thread, but even giving benefit of the doubt) disney was someone who had to be in control of everything and genuinely believed his ideas were divine. Read some of his stuff about the initial vision for epcot. His idea was to have families (the patriarchal fathers to be exact) sign away their autonomy to become human zoo exhibits in his "vision of tomorrow" which wouls actually be the parks' famous corporate sponsors' world in which their products are the future.
His philosophy and managerial style are uncomfortably close (at best) to that of the nazis.
The western definition of nazi as either "bully" or "strictly anti-semitic" really helps obfuscate them. Like Disney's involvement in the Red Scare is his most openly nazi action, but this implicated how many Americans are close to nazism so we cannot use that definition
American education tries soooo hard to obscure the fact that anti-communism is probably the defining feature of Naziism, with anti-semitism being an extension of it. They didn’t just hate Jews, they hated communism and believed it was a Jewish plot.

Why waste time say lot word when “yes” do trick?
Probably to avoid being sued.
This is one of the most comedic things I've ever read, this is too hamfisted for the Onion to write
No, except yes.
