Walt Disney was a facist

I know its not news, but I was reminded recently

Over at Boing Boing they have an example of Walt and the Disney corporations sexist hiring policy in 1938. A female relative of a contributor received a response to an application telling her that she wasn't welcome at animator training school because she was a girl.

This ties in with the kind of attitudes found in the companies output around the same time.
