was any depiction of a common kids teddy/toy racist at the time, though? i mean, obviously if there were minstrels/golliwogs depicted in an ad campaign in the late 90's (wtf Lyon's Tea) then yeah, but how old are those pics?

I think the casting choice of making the token "sassy black dude" character out of the pesky, dirty, unwanted, germ-carrying ratbird in a movie about cuddly-wuddly hero pets, yes is a little racist.

yeah, it's less about the voice and more about why can't the black dude be a dog or a cat or an animal that people to cuddle, and not some puke-eating street pest that everyone hates

Not feeling it on the pigeon front. His voice wasn't too wacky & didn't seem to be imitating any type in particular. Nor can I say I am familiar with any associations of pigeons and any particular race (unless you count "Palomar" in Los Bros Hernandez comics, which is near as big a stretch as the one being presented here). I would, however, like to point out that like Emperor penguins and flamingos, pigeons give 'milk' to their young.

There's nothing racist about speaking pidgin.
― Super Cub, Tuesday, 22 December 2009 01:49 (sixteen years ago)
^not that the actual character is speaking pidgin, although surely different species would need to rely on some kind pidgin to communicate. Purring is not barking after all.

That, plus the voice is right in line with the old trope of the ignorant, pandering Negro.

I am so not watching this when it comes out to determine if the pigeon is really a racist character or just a regular lactating freak of the bird world.

The HP fuck up does beg the question: does Hp have no one of dark complexion working anywhere in the R&D, testing, and marketing process? I mean, you'd think this would have been discovered at some point. I wonder if the thing needs to be "calibrated" or something.
