Most racist cartoon of the decade

[Sky Hedgehogian Maestro]

In this age of political correctness, everything is racist. The fact that the font on an anime forum is yellow- must be a racist stab at Asians, huh? And then people get bent out of shape to change it to make it "safe."
Deal with it.
If there's one thing I ever agreed with conservatives/reactionaries on, it's that white liberals are insane and often the most hilariously racist people there are. That and gun control sucks. Then again, I doubt most cons even consider the thought that com... well, never mind, lest a flame war starts.

Hey, the voices in my head take offense to that. Not all white liberals are crazy (just a good number of them).

That last one though was offensive. I read on the net in fact that's why the next time they had an Asian power ranger, they didn't use a yellow costume. In fact I don't think there's been another yellow power ranger since who's been Asian.

You missed my point with the Ranger thing, so I will make it a bit more clear.

Indeed, there hasn't been another Yellow Ranger depicted by an Asian (as far as I know), but that is only because of the backlash due to the supposed "racism" of having Thuy Trang as the Yellow Ranger. Its not as if Saban chose Trang as the Yellow Ranger because of her race. In fact, the very first person they chose to be the Yellow Ranger (used only in a pilot) wasn't Asian (she asked for a raise; Saban said no and chose Trang instead).

My point was that people only see the "racist" aspect when they are being hyper-PC and see racism that isn't there. If Trang was ANY OTHER color of Ranger, no one would have said a thing. Its only a problem if she is the Yellow Ranger and the reason that she is the Yellow Ranger apparently HAS to be the fact that Saban is racist and for no other reason.

Also, again, the PC factor only seems to be coming from people who are not members of that race and don't know much about the show. I mean, people are complaining about Saban's choice in Yellow Ranger when, technically, every single Yellow Ranger is Asian. In case you have forgotten, Power Rangers based on a Japanese show called Super Sentai. Hell, just to blow your mind, there is a reason why Trini's uniform doesn't have a skirt and she's flat-chested. The Yellow Ranger in Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger (the Super Sentai series used for Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers) is a dude.




The same thing applies for Omi. If he had been any other color under the sun, it would have been fine. However, the fact that he is yellow, and ONLY that fact, apparently makes the show racist, regardless of who created it and anything else that happens in the show. Yeah, that makes no sense.

I didn't see the show as being racist. Heck, I enjoyed it thoroughly and I probably would if I ever watched it again. Sure, now that I look back on it I guess it was a little bit stereotypical, but racist? Nah.
But hey, what do I know?

It's Xiaolin Showdown.

Talk about using racial stereotypes in cartoons. WOW! The main character, who's supposed to be Asian, literally has YELLOW SKIN. I'm not kidding!

If not black skin?? White? Obviously u mentioned asian u give him the asian skin la.

You know what. Now that you point that out, it's kinda -m*ssed- up and disturbing. Guess I never looked at it that way... O-o

That.... is..... Hilarious. I swear, you don't notice things when you're younger.

You want RACIST?

Don't forget Tom and Jerry chalked full of racist stereotyping.

Example: Episode, Old Rockin' Chair Tom

I hope you know exactly what I'm pointing out. Yes, the heavy set, short-tempered black house keeper.





Mammy Two Shoes (sometimes Mrs. Two Shoes) is a fictional character in MGM's Tom and Jerry cartoons. She is a heavy-set middle-aged black woman who often has to deal with the mayhem generated by the lead characters.



Voiced by the lovely Lillian Randolph
herself. This controversial and frankly offensive episode aired in the early 50's (shocker.)
I can't believe the voice actor herself can't see through how 'not okay' this is. Makes me wonder what they brainwashed with, good lord. The fact that they would even allow certain things to be aired on television really makes me question whether or not each generation just doesn't see to how much of a mockery it really is, for frell sake...
