Racist much?

[Phalanx300]

No, its a Belgian comic which features many adventures. One of which features Africa and when people see black people do something they are quick to pull out the racist card when it doesn't apply.

The "Black people" look like racist caricatures, that's all I'm saying.

Its a cartoon, what else do you expect?

What do I expect? How about a representation of Africans as people instead of grossly misshappen Monkey creatures? Too much?

[boofhead]

I liked the one with the Egyptian tomb.

Then where do you see tails? And what exactly makes them monkey?

Monkey LIKE. Look at their lips and color, if that's not an offensive racial caricature then I don't know what is.

Black people are known to be black and to have large lips, now since when does that make them monkeys?

[Ratbag]

People are always so quick to draw the racism card, don't overuse it..; It just might lose it's power. Ever read "The boy who cried Wolf"?

Yeah because Africans really look like they do in the TinTin comis.

Sorry, but if it quacks like a duck..........

[boofhead]

They're all caricatures. Even Captain Haddock, a bearded, pipe sucking, swearing seaman.

Get over it. Asians in Tintin comics even have slanty eyes, you know. RACISM!!!!
