Perhaps there's a reason that Tiger Lily is overlooked. Maybe you should watch "What makes the Red Man Red" again and see what she's actually doing. [link]

I assume you're talking about the innocent childish flirting with Peter Pan? I don't think that is such a big deal- it just adds a twist to the plot allowing Wendy to be jealous of the relationship between Peter Pan and Tiger Lily, just as Tinkerbell is jealous of Wendy and Peter....

Actually in this controversy, Tiger Lily is far from alone. Every negative Native American stereotype besides gambling and alcoholism is presented here. How you may ask. How about using the words "Paleface", "Injun", "Squaw", and "How" (although I don't see the problem with that last one) during "What makes the red man red"? How about glorification of Native American women as sexy and exotic? Tiger Lily was certainly doing her part to make this worse, but she's far from alone.
Luckily, that was in 1953. Disney has smartened up since then, and made Pocahontas to redeem themselves (no matter what some others may say). Unfortunately, as long as "What makes the Red Man Red" is there, it will forever be a black mark for Disney.
PS: Yes, I know that Brown V. Board of Education was still a year away when this was made. It just hasn't aged well.

One nitpick: Kayley isn't Disney property.
