Stereotypes

A chuck Jones special was on the other night (Thank You Doug for alerting me). Afterwards they showed some of his more memorable shorts, and I noticed they skipped over the World War II years. I know why they did it. You aren't supposed to talk about it. But I have seen them. Many years ago, and some may now be in a DVD set with Whoopie Goldburg telling us that we should watch them...but don't laugh, cause that will make you a racist (I think I'm paraphrasing that).

So then I thought of the Japanese character Looney Tunes did during the war, and how much he looks like Hiro from Heroes. What do you think?


Weird, huh?
