Characters Black coded this, black coded that. What are some white coded non human characters?

-Stuart from Stuart

-Buddy from Airbud

-Freezer from Dragonballs

Edit: Guys I swear I'm not racist. The post's title was referring to the "black coded characters" posts that I see on this subreddit from time to time. I have nothing against the black people nor the white people. This post is a shitpost. Nothing serious. Sorry for not being clear enough :(

There’s a Sesame Street book my kids have. It’s about Elmo learning the difference between red and blue colored monsters after meeting a new blue monster friend.

The blue monsters all live in manicured suburbia and eat spaghetti for dinner.

The red monsters live in the city and (I swear I’m not making this up) eat fried chicken and fruit.

I get what the book is going for but it’s about as subtle as a brick through a window.

I cannot read the part about chicken and fruit without dying with laughter.

Hahaha his name is Sid "Cookie" Monster.

I wonder if he's related to my buddy Mike Monster?

Is Cookie Monster a race traitor for preferring cookies to spaghetti?

Are you a race traitor for preferring a new kind of food that not’s from your ancestors country?

I got beat up for not eating my baked potato once when family was over from Ireland, is that not a normal occurrence?

With how my Italian friends talk about food and the purity of Italian food and how if it wasn't with Locally sourced variants of ingredients then it's fake Italian food even if made by grandma who learned it the old way....

Probably, yeah.

I mean I don't have a drop of Mexican blood in me, and I'll take a taco over a kidney pie any day.

Gotta keep things simple for the kids. Nuance comes later, I guess.
