If you mess around enough when Reggie asks you to behave on your first night at Carvers, Troy will open the gate and tell you to stop messing about and Sarita will reassure him you weren't causing any trouble to which he responds with "Hey no ones asking you uhh.. Indian.. Lady?" then Kenny goes "Hey!" but Sarita then says "It's okay I am Indian" in a offended manner.
Wait, I missed that part with Troy; but Sarita is Indian? and juding from her accent, Indian by birth? Also, "other than that he's tolerant … moreof non-whites" - aren't Russians white? Though I guess there are White Russians, Black Russians, and Red Russians...
Also, random question, you're sn is Jaesong - Are you Korean?
Everyone is guilty of racism and prejudice to a degree.
Well not me, I've seen what call naming dose, also I have been a subject verbal abused. I hate bulling, there fore I will never call someone a name. The only name calling I will give out to is to bullies.
Kenny is just about as racist as anyone else in the series, he's just more vocal about what makes him mad obviously.
Katjaa, a Belgian wo… moreman whom he married, never said anything rude/insensitive about her.
Lee an African American, a black man, and depending on OUR choices, Kenny will stay with us till the end and call us his best friend and say we are his only family. In the same group was Christa, a African American whom Kenny never said anything about. Kenny saying 'urban' was not insensitive. It's what Kenny was insinuating was insensitive. And we've all been guilty of assuming things about other groups or people of ethnicity.
Clem = AFRICAN AMERICAN / AJ = AFRICAN AMERICAN = Kenny was more than willing to treat them both like his own children. He even offers to sacrifice his own well being for them in the Wellington ending.
Sarita = Indian woman, he loved her.
Arvo = I won't defend all the things Kenny said about Arvo, but … [view original content]
We aren't talking about whether Arvo did anything wrong or not, or if Kenny's hatred for him was justified, we're discussing whether of not Kenny is a racist. Kenny treats Arvo that way because Arvo led his group to ambush Kenny's, during said ambush Rebecca dies, and several other people from their group could have died had they not gained the upper hand. The group was already in between a rock and a hard place with AJ, and trying to find food and shelter, Arvo's group aggravated the situation immensely. Arvo being the only one left alive, and the one who led his group to Kenny's group is why he hates him so much. Arvo bolting on the ice pond, and then Luke dying obviously doesn't quell Kenny's hatred for him in the least. I am not saying that Kenny was in the right for treating Arvo the way he did, but his reasoning for treating him that way and calling him racist slurs is not because Kenny is racist against Russians, it's because of the events that occurred due to Arvo's presence, so Kenny wants to make it utterly clear both to the group, and to Arvo himself, that he hates Arvo. If you hate someone that much it isn't unheard of to call them every name in the book that would insult them the most.
Arvo did nothing, it was Buricko.
That's why he calls a skinny disabled kid a "fuckin' Commie" and treats him like he's a horrific monste… morer. It's pretty pathetic how we're meant to forgive him for being such a cowardly bully.
But I guess this thread reveals that we're all jackasses at heart.
Nothing personal, but I find that hard to believe. Isn't there a group of people that you dislike? If you met someone of this group of people, you'd more than likely have some preconceived notions about them that may or may not be true necessarily. It's cool that you want to not be like that, most people would agree to actively try to not be racist or prejudiced against a group of people, but I still believe everyone is to a degree.

Prejudice stops with me.
Who cares? Racist, not racist, saint, sinner, who cares? He is a character. That is all I care about. Please stop bringing up race in fictional or real subjects.
I admit that I hate some people still that were in my high-school class, but this is because they bullied me and made me feel like a outcast. So bulling is a factor this has nothing to race at all. I try to be socially aware, its my experience that assuming things that another person may have gone through leads to insult and hurt feelings. That is why when I talk to a person who different race I don't ask where they are from or what accents that have. They find questions like that insulting. No I am not prejudiced against any race at all. nor- do I try to be prejudiced against them. Honestly I try to understand people I met, this takes away problems that may happen between me and the person down the road - you know misunderstandings.
Yes I might distance myself from people but only when I don't like that person's choice. That or bulling is a factor - In that case I try to help those people in need with out taking some words myself.
So yeah no I am open minded, I try to understand different sides to the story. but Bulling I won't accept - nor I would anyone who dose do bulling.

Clementine: "What about Mexico?"
Kenny: "Why, you want a taco!?"
Loved that line!
On a serious note, I can tell you from personal experience, that Mexicans know how to cook.
Even though I'm a whte guy, I was partly raised around the Spanish culture, so I got to enjoy some goooooooood food!
Good food, and beautiful women.
Doesn't get any better than that, son!
I only fear what would've happened if "Arvo" had been replaced with "Miguel" and Kenny started yelling racial slurs about Mexicans...
a bunch of angry yelling about tacos
My family is full of loving, intelligent people who are nonetheless capable of racism. Racial prejudice is a bad thing to hold onto, but you can be a good person and still hold racist values.

Emm...actually, it does matter. It builds the characters identity and in games like this where the story is critical, you need to know what and who you are dealing with.

Not saying it doesn't matter. I'm just saying I don't care if anyone in TWDG or otherwise is racist. I've had enough of people misusing the word (in general, not this thread), and I just don't care anymore.

Let me just ask:
Why is it so important to believe a character isn't racist? It's perfectly fine for characters to have flaws like that.… more The Dixons from the show started off as racists, with Daryl gradually growing out of it as time went on.
Having racial prejudice is often borne out of ignorance, which in itself does not make someone a bad person. Almost everybody, subconsciously or otherwise, has some sort of racial prejudice - but it's not worth being defensive and taking it as a personal attack on your worth if your views are pointed out as racially biased.
So, Kenny's racial views reflect a lot of people on this board - he doesn't consciously believe he's biased, but it definitely comes out when he's not aware. It initially appears through innocent misunderstandings with Lee, but reaches a monstrous climax when he, suffering from brain-damaged, encounters the Russians. He's racist, and I definitely think his abuse of a help… [view original content]

Nope, I think he's just ignorant.

You hate Kenny, does it really matter what evil force I compare him too? He might as well be Satan to more than half of the forum users.
Saltlick123, NoHopeLeft, Tinni, ComingSoon, Blind, and a lot more...
I hate the bastardization of him, not the character who died in Season 1.
Then your problem is with TellTales writing of him in Season 2, not me.
OMG I'm Special!!!!!!!!
You're cool for now......

I agree with you on the food and the women.
I can't remember Daryl being racist, but I could be wrong. Maybe he said something about T-dog.
