Can we appreciate how The Brain’s parents keep a dictionary just to look up words that their son says that they don’t understand, but they want to encourage him in his intelligence and don’t shut him down with ‘In English please’ like most people in cartoons will tell the smart characters?  

Even real life parents are more likely to ask for their kid to rephrase their sentence while using simpler terms, and having seen this with my brother, it discourages the kid from even talking to the parent because they start to think a)they don’t understand them b)they are stupid and c)they have no middle ground to meet at. 

But The Brains parents are so caring and want Alan to never feel odd or like he can’t talk to them so they keep a dictionary- a very thick one- just to be able to talk to their son without having to make him feel like a bother for using words that aren’t every day regular people words. 

And they black

The Brain is a fucking bear. A BEAR. Holy shit tumblr, you never dissapoint me.

@naturelovefreedom HE’S AN AFRICAN AMERICAN CODED ANTHROPOMORPHIC CHARACTER!!! HAVE YOU IDIOTS NEVER WATCHED ARTHUR??!! HE CALLS HIMSELF AFRICAN AMERICAN!!!! Omg!!!!

A link to the Christmas special, time stamped to where The Brain specifies that he celebrates Kwanzaa (41:48): https://youtu.be/ygXALnyCa0c?t=41m48s

“And the raspberry (represents) the African struggle for freedom”

This one is the timestamp for the Kwanzaa celebration itself (51:28)(it’s a brief clip in the episode wrap-up of everyone celebrating at home): https://youtu.be/ygXALnyCa0c?t=51m28s

Thank you! They been blowing me up!

Bruh. Why do they always step so far out of their lane?

they have been really trying it over this post

Anyone who thinks race does not exist in Arthur did not watch Arthur correctly/doesn’t remember enough. All of the characters hint at nationalities, at traditions from their grandparents etc. who lived in other countries, and even religions. Meaning, yes, race exists in Arthur-BUT NO ONE IS FIGHTING OVER RACES IN THE SERIES WHICH IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL. 

Brain has African roots-and African cousins.  According to Wiki, those roots come from the Senegalese area of Africa.  They even did a song about Africa when said cousin visited.

Francine Frensky was Hebrew, or at least Jewish. 

You could even argue that Francine is black, based on the makeover episode where rich white girl Muffy tries to change her style to make her girly while also criticizing everything about Francine and her poor lifestyle. In that episode, Francine’s Bad Hair Day, you can very clearly tell they are making a hint that Francine has hair that is much different than Muffy’s. Sound familiar? Black hair and white hair are not the same. Hair is hair, but depending on your race, your hair tends to be much different than others. 

The Reeds neighbors are Mexican 

Binky Barnes family adopted a Chinese baby Mei Lin Barnes.

And you can’t go off their colors alone on the show. You have to know them as a person before you get the hints of what race the characters are meant to represent. In some cases yes, you can very clearly see what race someone is meant to represent but in an animal form-like Emily, DW’s friend, but in some cases, like when Celebrities were on the show, they either had the characters colors look like the person skin or changed it up to fit the series. Examples: 

Mr. Rogers was one of the whitest old men around on TV, and we all loved him, but in Arthur he’s a dark tan/light brown  

The same goes for Jack Prelutsky

Yo-Yo Ma -because no one on earth is a silvery gray 

Alex Trebeck played himself but with a different last name 

 Then we have some very clear examples of characters fitting color schemes of their real life counterparts races.

Neil Gaiman  

Backstreet Boys 

Joshua Reedman (Aka Francine's canon uncle) 

Michael Fincke

Michelle Kwan  (a little paler in her Arthur appearance but it still works) 

Race, nationalities, religion and all of that stuff exist in Arthur no matter how you try to water it down or deny it. The big difference between Arthur and our world is that in Arthur- I state again that Race and Nationality were not put down, they were not even big deals to the characters, but something to learn about and find out that no matter how people may look, what they do, people are people, and you should always accept people no matter their race, nationality, traditions, etc. If you didn’t take that from the show, I don’t know what you did take out of it other than a meme.

Missing you immensely tonight.
