Is anyone able to say this meme isn't straight-up racist? One of the show's only persons-of-color, and he's literally at a gang hideout looking for crack. WTF!?
Most of the cast were people of color. Bob, Mr. Hooper, and Linda are the only white ones from back then I can think of off the top of my head.
"Most"? Is that true? I genuinely can't remember...
Most of em are yellow, red, blue, etc
Okay, that's good!
Maria, Luis, Susan, David, and Gordon are the non-white ones I can remember. That makes 5 out of 8, which is most.
Isn't that kind of the point of "bertstrips"? To take something as wholesome as Sesame Street and make it as twisted and messed-up as possible?
Not really my kind of humour, but I'm trying to populate some of the communities which were on feddit.de, which has since shut down.
Would you have preferred Mr. Hooper?
