Mickey Mouse is has no race...and he is not racist unlike you clowns. He is extremely accepting of everyone, animals and people alike, despite age, race or gender. He is also timeless and ageless and I think he portrays the morals that our culture is currently lacking. Besides, if you were an amazing ice skater, you would deserve a bit of respect for coming all the way to New Zealand to spread joy to the people by dance around in a big ridiculous costume.

Of course Mickey and Minnie should of. They are one of the most recognized characters around the world. It has gained international media attention which was good for this country, until the idiot Shane Jones tried to turn it into a negative.
