It's just just showing an M&M with specific racial features, it's taking that sterotype to an extreme. To use your own example, it would be like showing an Asian, except instead of the almond-shaped eyes, you took it to the extreme and gave it little slants for eyes.Jaimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13663773591281664871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5878927.post-64797147438281074072008-01-12T19:34:00.000-05:002008-01-12T19:34:00.000-05:00Because they've drawn an M&M with nappy hair and big lips, this is racist? Is not nappy hair and big lips and fairly typical physical characteristic of a black person? I mean, have you actually looked at the average black person like, ever? Just like almond eyes and black, straight hair is a fairly typical physical characteristic for an asian. Or freckles on a redhead. Would drawing an M&M with those features be racist, too?<BR/><BR/>Now, if the M&M was eating fried chicken and watermelon, I could see the racist moniker. But to show fairly common normal physical characteristics...I just do not see how this is racist.Material Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13848403813712262580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5878927.post-26471889044043305532008-01-12T02:01:00.000-05:002008-01-12T02:01:00.000-05:00Julian, I'm thinking it's the fact that the M&M has very large lips, a very stereotypical image for an African-American in the USJaimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13663773591281664871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5878927.post-75993839615271376842008-01-12T00:18:00.000-05:002008-01-12T00:18:00.000-05:00I didn't get it.
