Perhaps next we'll see expurgated versions of Rupert Bear, that don't contain racial stereotypes. |
I think the fact that the Asian character, while exoticized, is still clearly human and that the Africans are clearly depicted as being sub-human says a lot about the racial hierarchy that still afflicts western culture. Although it's definitely not just a western trait; my God, look at Mr. Popo from Dragon Ball Z!
