So white washed even the banda is white.


Not one black or brown person in the whole episode.

Why do these producers keep thinking they can get away with erasing brown people from new shows in this decade?

The show is crap anyway, as Archer has much better voice talent, animation, plot lines and comedy. I had to drag my marker through most of Rob's monotone delivery.
He's no Jon Benjamin.

I'm pretty sure the bad guy who died in the first episode was supposed to be Hispanic.

Like that helps.

It clearly proves Trump was right....Murdering rapists.

Maybe by mannerisms or dress but he was just as alabaster as any other character and that was alright for a few 1980's Playboy magazine illustrations but it's 2015...Criminy.

Go back to tumblr, where white people complain about things being too white.

It's a cartoon guy

I'd be shocked if that "monotone delivery" wasn't intended by Rob Lowe and the rest of the crew that make the show.

This is the real kicker for me. When we've seen this same type of "don't give an F, do what I want" character not once but several times from H. Jon, plus similar vain-alcoholic-destructive characters portrayed charismatically on all kinds of shows in this genre The guy in the lead for this show REALLY isn't pulling his weight at the moment. We've seen this so much that he really needs to bring something to the table even just to tread water.

But for whatever reason, voice acting in the early seasons for these adult cartoons is almost always shoddy. Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, the voice acting tends to get a big boost after a season or two so if Moonbeam City continues they'll probably come into their own, too.

Why wouldn't I be?
WTF, kind of show in 2015 would choose to white wash every person's face?

There could have been an homage to Nagel's art that included bold, monochromatic dark skin tones.

Yeah, from a design perspective there would be no way to do that without the darker characters blending in with the background.

It's called a stylistic choice to have heavy contrast and neon lights. The inverse of their current style would look hideous.

Also, it's a goddamn cartoon. Save your whining for the Star Wars Episode VII boards.

I take positive action where ever there is the need. Especially when children maybe watching and not being exposed to a diversity of faces.

If children are watching Moonbeam City, their crappy parents are more of a problem than an artistic decision.

This show has a lot of problems so there really isn't any need to fabricate more from your desire that every show be politically correct. In fact, the last thing any comedy show should worry about is being politically correct.

Otterlicious is really looking forward to the day he meets a minority in person. He's terrified but excited.

I grew up in Ferguson and was on the streets last year getting tear gassed three hours before curfew when we were marching peacefully.

My house is 1 mile from Kajieme Powell's murder site and I carried his name on my sign for days of marching.

My anger is righteous.

When you see the police hogtie young black men with zip ties and throw them like animals on your lawn after only having an after school fist fight like what happens at any lower or middle class school, and when the cops shoot rubber bullets or toss flashbangs at you for protesting the way the municipal courts treat your neighbors like debt slaves, then you eventually have to take action both in person and online.

I will not tolerate shows that try to erase black people from the American scene. The Oscar fight isn't the only place where the fight is going to be taken.
