That's a good point re: the term "privilege". I could absolutely see why he reacted so badly, it was just frustrating because his reaction to the term made it really hard for him to even consider the concepts. Stupid emotions, always getting in the way.
That was definitely one of the things I liked most about Zootopia! I made Brian watch it with me last night and his engineer's brain was completely delighted at the giant bank of heatsinks dumping heat from Tundratown into Sahara Square, or the sprinkler system that kept the rainforest wet. He was laughing super hard about the multi-size thing too - "Their ADA equivalent law must be about 400 pages thick." He did point out that the police officers likely have to carry an entire range of less-than-lethal weapons, since an elephant taser would likely kill a rabbit, for instance. Maybe it's for the best that some questions aren't addressed, haha. (Personally, as much as I loved the whole thing, I thought it worth watching just for the scene with Captain Bogo and the Gazelle app. I about lost my shit laughing right there in coach class.)
