pulzar:This cartoon is racist and is 'of its time'. But, racism has not gone away its just as bad,with a subtler approach.When you deny someone work, education or a promotion based on their colour, they can't punch you in the face. The law protects you.'Political correctness' is to protect good ppl, against having to punch u in the face! We need 'political correctness', because there are, still, many ppl who genuinely believe that paler skin confers an intrinsic superiority.:|

Ha, well if I were white, I'd be offended. My only guess for white people being fine with it, is because they've treated other races so badly for some many years, I guess it's pay back or something. I could be wrong. Still, if I were white and some black guy called me a cracker, I'd be offended. I guess that's just how I am...

Asians and black people also portray caucasians in a stereotypical way, I for one don't give a living shit.Black people call white people crackers, the chinese world for white man literaly means "longnose". Why should I be offended by that ?

Exactly, and if I were Chinese, Japanese, or Indian, I'd be pissed off too. And, "Harmless Stereotyping"?Harmless?HARMLESS!!!?There have been tons and tons of issues over a race of people being drawn stereotypically. For example, Jynx (from Pokemon), those Japanese people in that Bugs Bunny cartoon, Mr. Popo (from Dragonball, although I didn't mind him that much). You just don't know how it feels because your.....uh....nah, I won't go there.

They also do this with chinese people and indians in modern american cartoons, never heard anyone complain about those.Big nose, narrow eyes... it's just some harmless stereotyping.

No I'm talking about the way he looks. Big eyes, huge lips, overly dark skin, that nose. Ever heard of "black face"?

So black people playing the bad guys in modern action movies is racist as well ?It would have been fine for the spider to be any other race accept for black ?People take political correctness way too far...
KirbyPhelpsPK (August 17, 2008 at 3:41 am)
Because it's racist...
Pulzar (August 16, 2008 at 5:24 pm)
Why shouldn't it be ?
