How racist is THIS show!?!

Is Wayne and Twinkle's Mom the epitome of every stereotype of the black woman or what? Single mother of two kids, obviously from two different men (notice Wayne's and Twinkle's eye colors are different, Wayne's are green, while Twinkle's are blue...also Wayne is a LOT lighter shade than Twinkle). Uncle Lemo is probably one of the kid's father. Also, getting back to the Mom...can her gold necklace get ANY bigger!?!? Plus, I think she is the only character who actually has lips! (And the bottom lip is bigger than the top!)

Join me in boycotting the Higglytown Hereos! Where is Al Sharpton when we need him!?! Reverend Jackson? Are you out there?

Also, have you seen the "Say What" episode, where the Spanish speaking new kid is coming to school? Fran compares speaking Spanish to speaking "squirrelish"...obviously saying that all Spanish speaking people are animals! Sickening!

What do you guys think!?

You do realize that children of the same parents don't necessarily have the same color skin, right? Right??

See, for an extreme example: http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_black_and_white_twins.htm

One worse insult to say about single mothers (coming from a single mom, by the way, my sister and I have the SAME dad). Two, all because Twinkle and Wayne's dad aren't around doesn't mean he might've abandoned them, their mom could be a widow. Think clear please.
