It feels kind of iffy. By all means go after the mayor of Chicago, but something about this does feel a bit odd.

Am I missing a racist angle here beyond that the police chief mask is white and she's black?

I don't understand what the racial element is supposed to be. If you have EVER seen a Scooby Doo cartoon the point being made is clear

its still reaching.

and now were going to say cartoons cant show anyone tied up when the heroes capture the villain.

more unjustified outrage and everyones feelings are damaged.

It's a deflection, that's all it is. Now everyone will debate whether Scooby Doo is racist instead of what the Teachers Union actually wants to talk about

Not racist at all.

Unless her being black in real life is also somehow inherently racist.

If they portrayed the mayor with some sort of caricature depiction of herself that borders mammie status I could see it.

this is completely harmless.

Never seen many Scooby villains if any that weren't bound up by the end of the episode.

Let's focus on her excessive support for cops. Don't let either he deflection or the union's racism divert you from that underlying point. Policing is local, she's the mayor, she has significant power on this issue.

I'm the original series you might have had a tarp or net rather than rope. Is tarp somehow connected with a racist past?

They're usually caught by a net or tarp, but the Mystery Gang always ties the villain up before unmasking them.

The mayor herself has called it racist

Edit: I, like a lot of folks apparently, missed the first link in TC's post and my eyes went straight to the embedded tweet.
