So here's the premise: 2 Arabs show up in Bedrock and decide Barney bears a striking resemblance to an heir to their throne, and is to be crowned Sultan.
Both Fred and Barney called them "towelheads" and ran through a complete litany of Arab stereotypes before I turned the TV off on the kiddies.
Am I overreacting, or should at least this episode go the way of "Hekyll and Jekyll"?
As a kid growing up in a 99.9972% white community, I never placed it that they were black. Wait. That's the one with the mice who are always outsmarting Jinxy the cat, right?
7. All the older cartoons are un-PC.. I still adore Scooby Doo
and Tom and Jerry and whatnot, but there are times when I cringe watching them with my kids. (Still better than "SpongeBob", which I won't let them watch.)
The first season, at least. I quit watching a while ago as it was going downhill. It's a kid's show, but there's a lot of Simpsons/Futurama style humor in there too. I dunno, it cracks me up.
