They get on the Lone Ranger pretty hard. When they say that the word Tonto means stupid in Spanish, that is a pretty racist castigation of the Tonto Apache Tribe. Perhaps stupid describes the website creators.

As for Kemo Sabe. I suggest that this is a deriviation of the Spanish term "Que no sabe". Which means "don't understand". Seems like that website is calling the Lone Ranger stupid more than Tonto.

JMHO
the guy that made this list is the biggest bigot of all.

"Sienfeld" made fun of everybody. they made fun of Jews, & many on the show are Jews especially Seinfeld & Larry David.

they loved to poke fun @ nazis, like the "soup nazi".

2 of the main characters were wasps, & were portrayed as a couple of "dufusess". george & kramer
also, george's parents.

racism = mentioning minorities in any way

Eight Is Enough made fun of whitey.

Archie Bunker should be number 1....hah...

oh, COPS. wow.

Some of their choices were pretty damned stupid, that's for sure. I just wanted to see what everyone thought should be left off this list and what should be added.

All in the Family not being there surprised me in some ways since the person who made the list doesn't see the difference between satire and outright racism and usually people like that don't get that Archie was the butt of all the jokes really.

I also thought it was weird that they didn't really take into account that while NYC is filled with all races, they don't actually all sit around singing Kumbaya together or anything, making the fact that shows ranging from Seinfeld to Sex in the City are realistic in their lack of racial diversity in the core character groups.

Or, not mentioning them at all. :rolleyes:

Seriously, didn't accusing anything and everything of non-existant racism go out in like, the 90's? People actually still do this? Dooshrockets like the people who come up with lists like this fan the flames of racial disharmony more than all of the TV shows he mentioned, combined.

i just meant the clip. "i don't sell crack, i'm a prostitute"

heh.

i'm at about 42 and yeah, it's a little off

[Pricetag]

If this list is tongue-in-cheek, it's pretty funny. I don't see its merit otherwise.

The NBA airing games is the most racist thing on TV IMO. Always making fun of us white guys and our game. I've considered a Class Action Lawsuit for awhile but Homey, Froze and Rus keeps telling me timing is everything.

Srsly. Depicting reality isn't racism, although it frequently gets labeled as such.

You're all racist. And I should know, I have lots of black friends.

The Cosby Show was racist in that APPRENTLY WHITEY LARGELY DID NOT EXIST IN HIS WORLD.

Yeah - it's the same logic used in the linked article. I am surprised they didn't throw in a token minority show just to show that THEY weren't racist. They could have easily picked the D.L. Hughley show. Every single joke that guy has ever told was "white folk this, but black folk that." Or the George Lopez show, which had "Low Rider" as it's theme music and was filled with stereotypes. I am also surprised they mentioned SNL but not it's competitor, Mad TV.

[yermom]

i guess you missed Martin and Method and Red :D

[Tulsa_Fireman]

Didn't catch 'Chico and the Man' on that list, either.

"Eet's not my yob!"

[StoopTroup]

Why was The Man an old drunk white guy?

'Cause The Man was Vet.
