For all the middle-class morons who are "offended" by this, the characters were co-created by a Rastafarian. Search on the Guardian website for the interview with the producers.
@morganikmilk1 This isn't racist, it just shows characters (in positive roles) displaying different cultural behavours and values to standard English ones. If this is racist then presumably you would only be happy if they displayed typically English behaviours and had English accents and just happened to have brown skins. It isn't the case that references to other cultures might somehow be offensive in and of itself.
@EuropeanTourism You're analysis is based on negative stereotypes whereas this is based on positive role models (crime fighters). To follow your analogy, Rastamouse should smoke joints and sit around all day doing nothing. This isn't racist, you just have institutionally racist views of ethnic minorities. If you you think a show about Asians running a cornershop and disapproving of their children's activities wouldn't be allowed then try listening to "Fags, Mags and Bags" on Radio 4.
@morganikmilk1 No me too. Imagine 'Scouse Mouse' where he goes round stealing things and talking really fast or 'Paki Mouse' who runs a cornershop and doesn't approve of his children's activities. They would never be allowed, so why is this?
@BOLSHEVIXTREME Let me refer you back to my previous comment. Imagine a show called PakiMouse, where the main character ran a cornershop and struggled to accept his children embracing western culture. What exactly is the difference between my idea and this reggae stereotyping. PakiMouse would be racist and rightly so. Take that you Communist Lefty.
@BOLSHEVIXTREME What about all the other characters stealing portraits and saying ‘ting’ and other poor grammar? Face it, it’s a lame stereotype of Jamaicans, do we really want to be teaching children poor stereotypes, especially as there are so many Carribean ppl in England?
If you have to rely on funny accented, poor English to make a children’s TV show ‘entertaining’ then there is something seriously wrong with the media in this country.
@BOLSHEVIXTREME In order to get on in this country you need to be able to speak good English, so teaching Brit kids Jamaican patois isn’t a very good idea. Nor is promoting the idea that Rastafarians are either 1) a bit of a light hearted joke with their accent and mannerism, something you can laugh at or 2) that they are worth copying because you want to seem cool. There are naturally many divisions in our society, we don’t need to encourage any more with all this.
@EuropeanTourism I have no problem with it. I am not some white ass Brit snob. In Canada we hear all different languages and this cartoon depicts a positive of Jamaican Patois. So as we say in Canada "It is cold eh"!!!
@harasjnosliw 'Not some white ass Brit snob'. I do hope you are not implying that I am one, I am from a working class town in the London area. They should not be making programming for children that could be taken as promoting racism and elitism. Rastafarians are a proud religion and culture, this show is making it all seem a bit of a joke. I for one am outraged.
@BOLSHEVIXTREME How can I 'lighten up' when kids are being fed this lazy stereotyping which they will take forth with them when they become the next generation.
@BOLSHEVIXTREME And plus if they teach a bit of Spanish that’s good, it’s one of the most important languages in the world, I’m very grateful for my Spanish education. Whereas Jamaican patois is a poor version of English.
@BOLSHEVIXTREME I haven’t seen either of those, but I have to say possible Mexican stereotyping is not much of an issue in Britain as we do not have many Mexican people living here. If they’re as bad as Rastamouse for stereotypes, I would question whether to show them in California say. But I can’t say they are as I’ve never seen them.
@EuropeanTourism Or do you just have a problem with patios? Do you think that people who speak patios are inferior to people who speak English? Is that why you're worried about kids learning it? Do some research before you complain - kids pick up languages and switch without trying - they don't "forget".
Why aren't there any white characters in this show? If the BBC made a show with only white characters there would be an uproar. It has to work both ways.
@lostsoleful not really, that has to the worst point ever made....these characters are mice they have no race! they clearly don't live england so i wouldn't expect them to have a british accent...there are also white Jamaicans and Indian Jamaicans and you comment on race here is stupid this show has no race they are animals... and there are plenty shows wih british accents its just entertainment
Its funny because kids dont realise that before the rastamouse goes on show, he smokes a fat joint, and rolls a cuban cigar himself, gets high as fuck and drinks hennessy with the bitches.
Seriously man people need to lighten up. If people want to assume that all black people are rastas, lazy, stupid, druggies and all the other stereotypes then let them that's their opinions. I love how it's put a positive spin on things. Yes it's slang, but parents should be more concerned with teaching their kids when's the right time for slang and when's not. Political correctness gone mad!
