UEL 2018: Leia o texto a seguir.

Hello Lego!

Please make this the last Christmas disabled kids are culturally excluded from your much-loved products. Think outside the brick box. Mix it up a bit! Add some brawn, stamina, a few sweat bands, couple of half pipes and some lightning fast wheelchairs.

Oh Lego, where are your basket balling wheelsters? Baseball playing Duplo folk with hearing aids? White cane using Lego Friends off to the gym? In fact, where is your positive disability representation at all?

There are 150 million children with disabilities worldwide. Yet these kids are arriving into a world where, even before they’ve left their mums’ laps, they’re excluded or misrepresented by the very industry that exists to create their entertainment, the objects that fuel their development, the starting blocks of life: Toys!

What are you saying to these children with disabilities and their peers by excluding them? Your little plastic bricks and mini figures are loved the world over, we love them too.

Please, Lego, put some wheelchair vroom vroom into the toy box and help generations of kids, (both with and without disabilities), grow up with a more positive attitude to human difference!

We’ve made this skate park wheelchair free-styling set to give you some ideas and as an offering of friendship. We would love to see you make it for real! You’d make a lot of people very happy, you’d make a lot of kids feel very included and if you say YES we pinky promise to organise a giant conga up and down the aisles of Toys ‘R Us just to show you how much we love you!
Love,
The Toy Like Me Team

QUESTÃO 04
UEL 2018: Leia o texto a seguir.

Looking back over recent sci-fi/fantasy movies, there’s a curious pattern starting to emerge. Think back to Guardians of the Galaxy. There, the heroine of the piece was a green-skinned female alien named Gamora, who also had a romantic relationship with the white male hero. Gamora was played by Zoe Saldana, an actor of Caribbean and African descent. Then there was Avatar, where the heroine was a blue-skinned female alien, again played by Zoe Saldana. She also had a romantic relationship with the white male hero.

Now think back to Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Remember Lupita Nyong’o was in it? Probably not, as you only heard her voice. She was Maz Kanata, a wizened, shrivelled little alien creature. Nyong’o, who is of Kenyan ancestry, has been one of the breakout stars of the decade. Since she won her Oscar for 12 Years a Slave, she has been showered with modelling contracts, red-carpet invites and accolades (she was People magazine’s “most beautiful” woman of 2014, for example). Star Wars took the most beautiful woman in the world and basically made her the Yoda of the piece. Nyong’o is currently working on a new sci-fi movie called Intelligent Life. The plot summary reads: “An employee at a department of the United Nations that monitors outer space inadvertently makes contact with a beautiful woman, who may be an alien.” Nyong’o is the alien, of course. It’s a safe bet the UN employee will be a white guy.

You could look at this situation in a number of ways. The first is that women of colour are being cast as aliens by an unthinking industry that still equates “not white” with “exotic”. That theory doesn’t make sense with a movie such as Avatar, where the other blue-skinned aliens were also played by not-white actors). Or could it be that, in the 21st-century moviescape, there’s still some problem with black women of reproductive age? Especially if they’re getting together with white men? Is that what’s this is really about?
