Thread Name: Tintin In The Congo
Subject: RE: Tintin In The Congo
Used to happen, nothing - still does. Anybody been to the far east lately? And if you actually *read* Tintin au Congo, you'll see that the treatment of the Africans isn't actually racist - sure, they talk like Africans, but they think like humans, and Tintin in particular is always defending "colored" people against the generic white racism of dominance - look at Le Lotus Bleu, or Tintin au Tibet, or the one where he punches out the idiots for being mean to the little orange seller in, I think, Peru.
