yeah definitely it would be viewed as racist...I used to watch it on saturday mornings as a kid and evenn then I KNEW something was wrong with it but I didn't know what because I had a very limited concept of racism back then....

I used to watch Dick Tracy cartoons and they had an "oriental" detective named "Ju Jitsu"...they could never get away with this today....

I also saw an old "MONKEES" episode wher the villians were a bunch of white guys with slanty-eyed make-up and protruding teeth

amazing that they got away with this back in the old days.....

and if you look at the old "Sanford and son" episodes with Redd Foxx, he said the word "black" all the time......imagine if that show was on today......the protests would be huge

thats true, they used to make fun of asians a lot in cartoons way back when

I just saw an episode of The Jeffersons where some guy called George a nigger.


All in the Family was an excellent show as well.

One of the mods changed my post above.....Redd Foxx said the word N****R a lot..some one changed the word N****R to "guy".....makes no sense when you view it with the changed word

[andreisdaman]

Also many of the old Bugs Bunny cartoons were racist as well with a lot of anti asian and black jokes.....they used to be shown in the theater around the time of world war 2 so that's why......

also remember Speedy Gonzalez?...the little mouse who could run fast?..he would be considered a politically incorrect character right now

LULAC has changed their mind about Speedy Gonzalez.  They now say that its a harmless parody of Latino culture and a famous Latino band has done a cover of "You Better Come Home Speedy Gonzalez".  A Latino activist told me, paraphrasing Oscar Wilde, "The only thing worst than to have your culture made fun of,.. is to have it ignored by comedians."
