Current Events > Rewatching Proud Family on Disney+, Penny is a Republican?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Lol a kid offered to do her taxes for a dollar and she said her family are Republicans and they dont pay taxes.

and then the kids went on strike because the parents didnt pay them enough allowance, so the parents brought in scabs and the kids gave up Disney teaching real life lessons UP IN HUURRR

That show was racist.

Her house is pretty big, so probably.

That show was racist, sexist and classist as fuck.

Just two issue I would touch on, is the treatment of the father. He is treated about the worse of any "sitcom" dad. It is a running for the dad to be treated like a doofus on these shows but this show even took that and ran with it.

And the bullies being blue. The implications of that is just horrible. I will not go in to said jokes, but there are jokes about people skin being blue. And these people were made into the poor bullies. (literally poor). While Penny live rich and her rich friends acts as if they were above it all.

Blue black has been a way to describe darker black skin, and that is what they give the bullies are how literally called the "gross sisters" . Beyond that their hair styles are less eurocentric then Penny and her friends. Their facial traits are also like that. Heck even the body time of one of the sisters falls into what could be called a Mamma. They are poorer than Penny and her family and equated to crime.

It doesn't stop there, penny's darkest friend is treated as more "ghetto" then everyone else. Even her name is Dijonay is a play on some of the more unique names seen in the African American community.

The father they I spoke about, is also darker then the mother is treated like a fool by the whole family.

Oh damn.

You forgot Dijonays 12 brothers and sisters named after spices

Lol side note. This episode with Wizard Kelly could be a great satire on Qing James and China considering theyre asking Wiz Kelly about animal abuse in India and he ignores it to hawk more shit

wait did they really say they were republicans lol

correct. But was racist to all races.

La Cienega stereotypical latin family, dad even a construction worker

Chang Triplets stereotypical rich asians

Zoey stereotypically nerdy white girl

Had arranged asian marriage episode with Zuko from Avatar

Show sounds more adult than I remember

Nah disney is historically extremely racist (yes, up to and including their modern output) so that shit dont sit too well w me

---

The colorism in the show was the thing I found least cute though; at least they had an episode where they allowed the Gross sisters to have some growth

Where the fuck are ya'll seeing Proud Family as being racist?

It's a weird ass show lol

What about those peanuts in the movie? Were they racist too lmao?

Lmaoooooo.

I forgot about the flamboyant gay boy being the son of the football coach

no the accusation of sexism is valid
in one episode penny joins the football team
normally the lesson in episodes like this is to do your best even if you are a girl
where as the proud family lesson was that penny made a mistake and should have known her place instead of trying to think she wasnt inferior to anyone with a penis

also the terrible episode with the CD downloads which wasnt sexist or racist but was dumb as fuck

i think you need to rewatch that episode. lol

everyone on the team and cheerleaders said she was amazing. She was only being hard on herself and her parents told her she did amazing.

Oh gosh. The Kwanzaa episode. I forgot they made the homeless family dark skinned
