I beg to differ. I truly believed she saved Cera out of the kindness of her heart. I mean, if you're a human of one race and saw a child of another race you're prejudice against in peril, would ya save him or her? Or let the child die simply 'cuz the race factor blinds ya to the value of a life? On another note, even if she did not question the racist attitudes of different species, she did not react to Littlefoot playing with Cera to the extreme that Mr. Threehorn did. She certainly did not seem to mind until Mr. Threehorn acted like a raging idiot. Sure, he's protective of Cera, which I believe he has every valid reason to. After all, she's all he has left of his original family. However, Littlefoot was just a BABY for heaven's sake! There was no need for such a reaction 'cuz Cera was not in emminent danger. My point is, I don't believe Littlefoot's mother is as racist as she may seem to be. Just 'cuz she does not really express her view on racism explicitly does not mean she's a racist. Sometimes, out of fear, folks do not speak up against a widely supported view even though they oppose it. Look at the Nazi regime's Holocaust movement as an example. From what I understand, many Germans and other Europeans opposed the mission to exterminate the Jewish race but were too intimidated to rise up, for they would've been killed just the same. Same with the Emancipation Proclamation and the Ku Klux Klan. Caucasians were afraid to support the African-Americans openly, for they would've ended up lynched themselves. Now, in regard to the LBT culture, it is possible the dinos were afraid of being shunned from their herds, not necessarily murdered. There is safety in numbers, and to be alone out there with the elements, predators and a child to protect is an awfully treacherous predicament to be in. She did the best she could, and just 'cuz she SACRIFICED her life does not make her weak, but rather a heroine in the sense that she died so others (Littlefoot and Cera) could live. That, to me, is true strength. Someone who, no matter what their physical strength is, risks their hide to save others is what defines a strong person. She's a hero, not a weak coward, and for that one of several reasons is a well-liked character by me.
