George Lucas's White Slavers Comment

George Lucas publicly compared Disney to "White Slavers", then withdrew the comment.

White Slavery, of course, refers to the practice of abducting white women and children generally to use as sex slaves. That phrase is a pretty interesting choice for a description of Hollywood or the Disney conglomerate by someone who is, presumably, pretty knowledgeable about its inner workings.

The conspiracy minded might immediately leap to the conclusion that Disney actually traffics in women and children, however, I'm thinking Lucas was actually using the term in a figurative sense and is bitter about selling the rights to Star Wars for funny money.
