283. Nicholas_DW's frothy, Chernobyl-style meltdown in "Blu-ray--Jonny Quest: The Complete Series":
"Sooooo... When Dr. Quest or Race refer to any native as a "savage" (even when they're an ally of the heroes) that's just a way to refer to a "backward society." Good God, that reeks of colonialism. Refer to them as savages because of how backward they are and show them how not to suck so much because they're living "wrong." Give them the gift of God because they're "heathens." Native islanders don't harm anyone. They're typically self-contained societies whose only concerns are living a comfortable life. They certainly don't cross the globe, conquering others and justifying it with the idea that those being persecuted are harmful or backward.
"You can bullshit as much as you want, but only characters who aren't white are ever called "savage." The Westboro Baptist Church members would never be called "savage" or any other term associated with non-whites because that's an asinine strawman argument. "Fanatics" would be an appropriate word, as would "zealot," but no one would say savage (and certainly not heathen).
"The notion that native islanders, and non-whites in general, are "backward" or "harmful" by default is bigoted as hell. It's the same line of thinking that was used to justify the genocide in the Americas and ignoring that is the real rewriting of history. For the sake of a cartoon no less.
"I used to love Jonny Quest as a kid. I watched it religiously, but when it began airing on Boomerang I was soon done with it altogether. You guys can bend over backwards trying to justify the terminology used on the show, or deriding those of us who object as having "wee delicate sensibilities," but there's a reason this nonsense isn't said anymore. It's racist. Talk about wee delicate sensibilities. You'd rather overlook the bigotry of a show's language than listen to reason because it's something you watched as a kid.
"Watch away, but don't lie to yourself or concoct absurd attempts at justification. Though I'd love to see you guys try to explain the Our Gang short where one of the African American kids is having a bad day throughout, only to be cheered up with a watermelon at the story's end."

Can't it be funny and racist at the same time?
They weren't called " African American kids" in those days.

"Savages" or not, they're leaving those countries in droves. When was the last exodus from, say, Norway to, say, Nigeria?
.
...or say NORWAY to say the USA?
