Explain this.

[Jackhammerz]

I am here watchin this show on Vh1 called the TV's Illest Minority Moments and found some things out very interestin and would like someone to explain how the heck did they determine this. On a segment that was talkin about how racism is part of cartoons and children's television, the question of what race was some of the character's on sesame street and the muppet show. Can you see Bert being a Puerto Rican? Or see Ernie as a Dominican? This one is really interestin Animal (the drummer from the Muppet Show) a Mexican? Or my favorite, Big Bird as a Transsexual Vietnamiese? Can someone explain how the heck they got this. I know that I am gonna get clowned for watchin VH1, but I was channel surfin and seen this.

Bert and Ernie's races are Yellow and Orange, respectively. Animal's race is Animal.

Kermit would whoop him.

I saw that too. Gave me a good laugh.
I think they were just trying to be funny. VH1 is trying to be 'cool' these days.

Vietnamese cross dresser! Haha!

That's what I thought as well. I also failed to mention that this show said that Daffy Duck is a black man. Which makes since. Since he always the sidekick and it took forever for him to get his own starring role.

Hands down Kermit.

And he was always showing up to work late... and he dated a lot of ugly white girls.
