Jellystone Injustice


Going to National Parks Is Racist, Declares ABC News [More]
The racists want to camp, we'll give 'em camps!

Everybody knows the premise of Yogi Bear is racist too...?

He's a bear of brown color represented as an intellectual anomaly for a mentally deficient demographic ("smarter than the average bear") and his primary traits are laziness ("he will sleep 'til noon") and thieving dishonesty ("he'll have every picnic basket that's in Jellystone Park"), plus he's dominated by the white authority figure of Ranger Smith.

I'll bet if you introduced that to a Marxist academic with an ax to grind (but I repeat myself ) you could get a paper out of it.
