Is 'Mary Poppins' racist and using blackface? Twitter is not having it

A U.S. professor is deeming the classic 1964 film "Mary Poppins" racist, accusing Julie Andrews of "blacking up" her face with soot while dancing with chimney sweeps.


In a New York Times op-ed called "'Mary Poppins,' and a Nanny’s Shameful Flirting With Blackface," Professor Daniel Pollack-Pelzner slammed the iconic dance scene where Poppins joins Dick Van Dyke's Bert on a rooftop for the song "Step In Time."


"When the magical nanny … accompanies her young charges, Michael and Jane Banks, up their chimney, her face gets covered in soot, but instead of wiping it off, she gamely powders her nose and cheeks even blacker," Pollack-Pelzner wrote.

The Linfield College literature professor linked the scene to racism in P.L. Travers' novels, which he claims "associate chimney sweeps’ blackened faces with racial caricatures."


Pollack-Pelzner also took aim at naval officer Admiral Boom, who ordered his cannons fired at the "cheeky devils" on the roof after mistaking the dark figures of the chimney sweeps for "Hottentots," a racial slur.
"These aren’t really black Africans; they’re grinning white dancers in blackface," he wrote. "It’s a parody of black menace; it’s even posted on a white nationalist website as evidence of the film’s racial hierarchy."

Pollack-Pelzner's observations didn't sit well with many fans of the classic family film.


@Sherri_Garver questioned: "Ummm Seriously? #MaryPoppins is now in the Cross hair? THEY WERE CHIMNEY SWEEPERS!!! NOT "BLACK FACE IMPERSONATORS."


"Mary Poppins wasn’t flirting with black face! It was soot in their faces from being a chimney!" user @Jencon1978 added. "Stopped spreading racism claims on non racist things like this!"


@AmandaEliasch said it's the, "end of the world when Hollywood thinks Mary Poppins is racist."


And user @coldxman said, "People are searching for racism like it's oil. … If it were a literal commodity, however, it's value would be through the roof at this moment in history."


The Emily Blunt-led 2018 sequel "Mary Poppins Returns" is currently nominated for several Academy Awards, including best costume design, production design and original score, as well as best original song for "The Place Where Lost Things Go."

Based on the best-selling autobiography by Irish expatriate Frank McCourt, Angela's Ashes follows the experiences of young Frankie and his family as they try against all odds to escape the poverty endemic in the slums of pre-war Limerick. The film opens with the family in Brooklyn, but following the death of one of Frankie's siblings, they return home, only to find the situation there even worse. Prejudice against Frankie's Northern Irish father makes his search for employment in the Republic difficult despite his having fought for the I.R.A., and when he does find money, he spends it on drink.

Appearing on Sunday's Media Buzz, Hemingway, who is also a senior editor for the Federalist, discussed whether or not the press should identify the whistleblower at the center of impeachment proceedings against President Trump. Despite Fox News banning employees from doing so, she said his name.
