    Silly. This was before the construct of "white" even existed.

    Anyone? Answer the question. Is it racist or not? I really want to hear the argument that it's not...

    I don't put cartoons in the category of derogatory racism but of course physical stereotypes are racist if one is offended....Looney Tunes is filled with racist or derogatory portrayals...Pepe le Pew...Alice the Goon...Porky Pig...must have played hell with folks with speech impediments...you could basically get really politically correct about it and ban all cartoons for exaggerated profiling...personally..I don't have a problem if someone draws a cartoon of Midwestern dairy farmers

    I love and hate Game 7's of the WS. Love them because... I mean, that's obvious. But after the last out, no more baseball for 5 months. :MARIS61:

    I'm only watching because of the Cubs. I hate baseball too.

    What fucking sport has it so the Defense controls the ball? Stupid.

    I think what most of you are losing sight of is the fact that it's ok to make fun of your own racial stereotypes. It's not (in most instances) ok to make fun of others.

    White people created all these logos.

    Now if y'all wanna act like the Indians (the name alone is STUPID and wrong) mascot is not racist, I fear our country has farther to go than I thought.

    Main reason why Basketball is the best sport. You play on both sides of the ball.

    I guess I don't think having skin color, other than white, is offensive.

    Hard to believe the Cubs last won it all 5 years after the Wright Brothers first took to the air. In 5 hours they can do something they haven't done in 946,080 hours. Hard not to root for them.
