"Racism", in a cartoon that features characters of various SPECIES. And isn't Arthur supposed to be a fucking aardvark or anteater or something? Why does he look like a bear instead? Why don't they address THAT? Maybe get Aardvark (from Ant and the Aardvark) to give him a motivational speech about being proud about the way you were born and not trying to be something you're not, like they used to teach us in cartoons. Oh, wait ...
Same sex marriage? Can't tell if they're the same species or not ...
RACE AND SPECIES ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE TERMS. AND HUMANS ARE EXTREMELY SPECIESIST AND SEE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. (And yes, speciesism is natural. So is racism for the exact same fucking evolutionary reasons.)
(And the first thing I think of when I see that name is the Dudley Moore character, still.)
