there are very few cartoons on the boob tube today that i let my 2yr old watch. funny thing is that this morning there was a new cartoon that featured no brown-skinned kids and a few of them have heavy british accents. then it struck me - ive never seen a cartoon character with brown skin AND a heavy british accent. I think il call the ADL and complain about the need for more diversity in cartoons.

There are getting to be very few things that I'll let myself watch.
