Perhaps the real message of Zootopia 2 is not one of inclusion, but one of inclusionary zoning 🤔

She lit this nigga up lmao
Keating - during a monologue where he questions his desire for validation from white men and admits he feels dehumanized - Keating tells him to think less. Instead of pushing back on this, the way he might with the other Black characters he interacts with like Bernard or Chloe, Wyeth is grateful for Keating's lack of curiosity. In a separate incident, Wyeth expresses to Keating that he isn't obsessed with the white gaze after his Black friend, Bernard, accuses him of acting white for referencing the French landscape painter Eugène Boudin. It's a clear moment of insecurity for Wyeth; he does not want to be viewed as considering whiteness in everything he does. Keating responds that he doesn't know what Wyeth is talking about; he's completely disinterested in Wyeth's bid for recognition and understanding. This doesn't create conflict but instead pushes Wyeth to criticize himself. It's telling of Wyeth's attitude toward whiteness throughout the novel - that its authority is so total that it can never be incorrect. Despite this, the novel treats the painting as if it is revolutionary. The two Black characters, Bernard and Chloe, are so moved by it they weep. Keating, his muse, finally feels seen in the work, as he appears to himself. But it does not require any intellectual energy for a white man to look at a literal image of himself looking pensive and think, Ah, there I go. It's a self-indulgent conclusion that does not reveal anything but Wyeth's psychological bind. Whiteness is what makes him feel dehumanized, but it is also what frees him. It is the nexus of his desire, and yet he is ashamed of it. The only concrete achievement here is that Keating feels understood, which for Wyeth is the greatest gift of all. To be fair, it's a romance, and Keating is the object of his affection, but the novel has spent so much time on shoring up the primacy and innocence of whiteness that the ending is comically flat. All this so his boyfriend could be less apathetic.
