  • VeggieTales villains are "Vegetables of color"

    Source: https://www.thecollegefix.com/university-hosts-critical-look-at-whiteness-forum/



    Another project suggested that the children’s Christian television show, “VeggieTales,” perpetuates racial stereotypes. A female student who worked on the project said in an interview that the accents of the evil characters tend to sound ethnic, such as Latino, while the good characters sound white.

    “When kids see the good white character triumph over the bad person of color character they are taught that white is right and minorities are the source of evil,” the project stated

    "The Christian cartoon 'VeggieTales' is racist because the villains are vegetables of color," The College Fix reports the forum as saying.

    The "good and white sounding characters", like a tomato and a cucumber?

    Who are regularly portrayed as being "not too bright"?

          So according to liberals, these are white guys:

          Also, isn't it a bit racist to attempt to determine someone's ethnicity by how they sound?

              A key point. Bob and Larry. Find two bigger idiots on the show. I'll wait.

                        Like when people insisted that Jar Jar Binks was a racist stereotype because he walked funny, had curious speech patterns, and was generally dimwitted. It was always fun to say, "Really? So that's what you think of black people?" and then watch them try to stammer out a response that didn't leave both feet in their mouths.

                          Yes. Bob will require rather more.

                            They would absolutely go into irrecoverable meltdown if they saw the Frito Bandito commercials from when we were kids....


                            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
