There's an episode where they find a huge underwater pyramid that has ancient Greek writing on it. A character gets possessed and starts speaking Greek. It turns out it's The Temple of Minerva built by Neptune. Now if you had a thing for mythology, like I did, as a kid you probably notice those are the Roman names of the gods. And Minerva is a black woman. This is in the early 90s.
This "replacement rot" has been going on for a long time
For a time every villain was English.
Hah, just remembered the White South African villain in Lethal Weapon 2. Buddy cops good preserving cultural and ethnic harmony bad amirite??
Ace Ventura 2 also did that.

Must be a thing with sequels.
This was heard a thousand times a day in 8th grade
I think I read somewhere originally the villains weren't South African but they changed it to protest Apartheid
Of course.
Man, that just felt so out of place. It was just a very, very weird plot. Stilted and nonsensical.
Well this is something I can understand.
