Which TV characters are the most bigoted, racist, homophobic, sexist, and xenophobic? Another thing I'm wondering is why are they so popular? I don't know why I like them so much. Every time they say something outrageous, I laugh my butt off. I would hypothesize that, since the advent of political correctness, it has become a social taboo to say anything politically incorrect, even as a joke. These characters unhesistatingly and unashamedly say the most racist things. Maybe they serve as an outlet for our repressed humor.
This is my short list of bigoted TV characters, with a short clip and/or quote accompanying the name.
Archie Bunker (All in the Family) - This guy is a working-class WASP, and has no tolerance for any change in his life. Basically, he doesn't like Jews, Catholics, gays, blacks, Chinese, Japanese, Irish, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Italians, the educated, or non-Republicans. *on the Jeffersons (a black family) moving next door* "Oh you'll think it's wonderful when the watermelon rinds come flying out the window."
Fred Sanford (Sanford and Son) - He's just as racist as Archie. The only difference between the two is their skin color. "I'll bet he got a speeding ticket. See, when Mexicans finally get their cars started, they gotta get where they're going real fast before their car stalls again."
Eric Cartman (South Park) - I don't think any introduction is necessary. He tried to exterminate the Jews after watching Passion of the Christ.
Uncle Ruckus (The Boondocks) - He's a black guy who hates every other black guy. He throws bricks at Martin Luther King Jr., preaches the word of "White Jesus," and was "happy at the back of the bus."
