Wait, "Sesame Street" Characters Have Races??
· Nov 16, 2021 · NottheBee.com

Sesame Street is patting itself on the back after announcing its first Asian character and I am confused.

Sesame Street characters have races?

What exotic race is orange-skinned Ernie??

People had some thoughts about this stunning and brave announcement:

There were some who took issue with this announcement, seeing Ji-Young as a mere usurper:

Of course, this diversity move has its drawbacks. After all, wherever Asian individuals and communities have succeeded and broke the "whiteness" and "equity" narrative of the woke, Asians have been unceremoniously lumped in with generic white people.

To that end, I have to ask: Isn't the appointment of an Asian puppet actually furthering the cause of domestic neo-Nazi extremism?? 🤔🤔🤔
