Why did both Family Guy and The Simpsons do a "black ancestor" episode? Especially considering it makes no sense with either series' continuity; (Francis Griffin isn't Peter's biological father and Abe Simpson was born and raised in Europe).
>>

This is one of the few examples of "family guy did it first"
>>
Americans worship blackness, so finding out they're black is the greatest thing ever for them
>>
>>150213442
Before that it was finding out you have Indian blood.
More common because the sons of Squaws were more likely to be accepted as White than Mulattos.
>>

It's about being "Ethnic"

Decades of propaganda meant the idea that only ethnic people are allowed to have pride In their ancestry. "White" is boring and lame and stale. Being ethnic means you're special and unique and you can be proud of your predecessors.
>>
>>150213291
I legit forgot abe was supposed to be an European immigrant.
Too bad about the writers forgetting too.
>>
>>150213520
They have episodes about Irish pride too
>>
>>150213531
Irish people are counted in as "ethnic", but it's always in a joking "Haha le drunken green people" way, not in any real pride way.
>>
>>150213371
It's actually fairly common thanks to zombie Simpsons.
>>
>>150213692
Well yeah it's a comedy. It's coming from a place of love though, seeing as Seth MacFarlane himself is an Irish American.
>>
>>150213692
Dumping Francis as Peter's father wad a mistake because he had a personality beyond "drunken Irishman".
Irish religious hardasses must be a thing, I imagine they work mostly in schools.

>"White" is boring and lame and stale. Being ethnic means you're special and unique and you can be proud of your predecessors.
also being white is seen as inherently being an oppressor. having "white privilege" makes you evil etc.
>>
>>150213531
irish and italians used to be largely seen as nonwhite.
>>
>>150213798
They do try and apply that label to historically oppressed whites like Irish and Fins.
>>
>>150213845
Because its true. European ethnic groups do benefit from white supremacy than non-European ones. A finn and Irish immigrant to America wouldn't be sent to alligator infested concentration camps like brown ones currently are.
>>
>>150213816
I'm from Lithuania. When I visited America once I legitimately had a guy tell me I'm "not white" despite having blue eyes, blond hair, and quite pale skin. If I'm not white then I don't know who is. American-brained racial taxonomy makes no sense.
>>
>>150213798
And you guys aren't beating the allegations by seething about it you miserable fags
>>
>>150215100
yes continuing to demonize all white people, even those who are supportive of minorities, will surely never backfire on you. nope. keep shitting on whitey if it makes you feel better. i still won't feel bad for being white.
>>
>>150214398
We made Fins live in Michigans Upper Peninsula.
>>
>>150213494
Yeah but that had like practical benefits. Tuition. Tax write offs.
>>
>>150214473
Baltoids really aren't White in any meaningful sense, since it matters more what's on the inside. Hell, black hair and brown eyes are pretty common in the actually relevant parts of Europe.
>>
>>150215100
>>150214398
Found the leftards. White supremacy isn't real and if it was is good because we have more diverse features then.shit skins and are the global minority.

>simpsons and family guy have done tons of stories that make no sense in their continuities that they've constantly retconned and contradicted without a care
>this is the one that anons have trouble dealing with
>>
American concept of race is 100% a cultural autismo thing and not grounded on racial phenotype.

That's why you have uncle toms like thomas sowell being white and brown latinos like doomentio larping as whites.
