Ethnic Scrappy	comment	noreallife An awful relic from less enlightened times, or a sign that the attitudes from those times have not gone away completely. Comic relief characters in the Sidekick Creature Nuisance or The Scrappy mold whose strangeness in appearance and behavior is put down to their being of a different race or ethnicity to the heroes. Often highlighted by their being extreme gonks in an otherwise normal-looking cast. Sometimes, ironically, they were put in precisely because the creators wanted some diversity in the cast. This is definitely one case where Monochrome Casting would have been a lot less offensive. Many early cartoon characters fall under this trope, which usually highlights interesting arguments between meme insensitivity and deliberate racism. Animation fans usually defend characters like Bosko, who was obviously a racial caricature of a sort, but isn't treated maliciously and is always the hero. Unfortunately, this is still prevalent today, some being Lampshaded, but some still sometimes used straight, and annoying Jive Turkey black characters are not uncommon. Some modern usages are played for Stop Being Stereotypical or Cringe Comedy, and there have been several Magic Realism and Imaginary Friend variations recently. Modern remakes of works with one of these tend to either drop the character completely or remove the racial caricature to make them simply a realistically depicted person of that ethnicity. To fit this trope, by definition a character must not merely be packed with derogatory stereotypes, but also be The Scrappy. See also Uncle Tomfoolery, Sassy Black Woman, But Not Too Foreign. If the character shares their race with the author, it's Offending the Creator's Own. Contrast Mexicans Love Speedy Gonzales, where the character eventually (or even right off the bat) becomes popular with the ethnicity in question. It's not unheard of for fantasy and science fiction works to create similar characters to represent "alien" races — especially if those "aliens" are a Fantasy Counterpart Culture or one of the Recycled In Space equivalents. These "Alien Scrappies" still fall under the blanket of the Ethnic Scrappy; they are scrappies because of their cultural posturing/attitude. As with other hated characters, they may eventually be Rescued from the Scrappy Heap. A No Recent Examples rule applies to this trope and examples shouldn't be added for 6 months. This is measured from the point when the character was introduced or became hated. Also, please try not to devolve into mindlessly ranting about characters you don't like. Sure, we understand how frustrating this trope can be, but no one around here is interested in hearing you ramble on about how a random character offends you in an article about a goofy fictional trope, and due to the touchy nature of this topic, examples like that on here are very prone to Natter, Word Cruft, Edit wars, or even Flame Wars if taken too far.

The "final Little Margie" strip that appeared in the Tomorrow Stories Special wraps this up by having Chinky turn into a realistically and respectfully portrayed Chinese man and leave Little Margie.

Or rather, generic except for the fact that his personality is modeled after every offensive stereotype of the British (despite being voiced by an American actor). Gazoo is stuffy, smug, and arrogant (although he is an alien, after all) and enjoys making jokes and pranks at the expense of Fred and Barney.

What can't be overlooked, however, is the 1980s English dub for the Christian Broadcasting Network, which gives the black characters Mammy Two-Shoes-esque voices and extremely stereotypical dialects that place them firmly in this territory.

A walking French stereotype (though he's given a different accent in the French dub of the show), his entire persona is to simply walk around being a... well, rude Jerkass towards everyone else.

He isn't a villain and neither are the other Alley Cats, but he still has the buck teeth and exaggerated accent. While Scat Cat and the rest of his gang are also strong ethnic stereotypes, Shun Gon is more heavily caricatured than the rest of the bunch. He is also voiced by a white actor (Paul Winchell), so he tends to be singled out more.

Needless to say, the fandom didn't take kindly to him, especially considering that other dark-skinned characters in the franchise as a whole were designed and portrayed relatively less stereotypically.

Ethnic Scrappy / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: Apu Nahasapeemapetilon offended many over his depiction of Indian-Americans, who see him as the embodiment of every offensive Indian stereotype, and the show's handling of the criticism. There's also annoyance at the fact that he's voiced by the white Hank Azaria. This controversy came to a head with 2017 documentary called The Problem with Apu in which Indian-American comedian Hari Kondubolu interviewed many Americans of South Asian descent for their perspective; most notably, Kal Penn admitted to Kondubolu that he hates Apu, claiming that the character's ethnic caricature made it increasingly hard for actors of South Asian descent to find non-stereotypical roles. On the other hand, he also has a very large Indian fanbase who defend him because, while he is stereotypical, he's also one of the kindest, most successful, hardest working, and intelligent people in a town filled with stereotypes. Many Indian fans were absolutely outraged when it was hinted he might be being removed from the show. Cookie Kwan is often seen as this. With her shrill attitude, stereotypical Asian rudeness, and thick generic "Asian" accent, you'd be hard-pressed to find any fans of her.

Ethnic Scrappy / int_2bbcacd9	comment	Looney Tunes: The character Speedy Gonzales avoids this trope thanks to Success Through Insanity. He's fast, he's chivalrous, he's clever, and always gets the better of his enemies. So why do people still not like his cartoons? It's because the other mice in the show piss people off, who all have excessive laziness and ignorance so the writers are sure you know they're Mexican. More borderline is Speedy's cousin, Slowpoke Rodriguez, "the slowest mouse in all of Mexico". Being slothful even by the standards of the other Mexican mice, he protects himself with either a concealed gun or mind control. Like his cousin, though, he's smart and heroic, and both characters remain extremely popular in Latin America. In 1999, Cartoon Network shelved the cartoons for the aforementioned stereotypes, until Media Watchdog group the League of United Latin American Citizens lobbied to bring them back. That's right, media watchdogs worked to unban something controversial. Imperial Japan gave Looney Tunes more than its share of ethnic scrappies during World War II. Wartime cartoons nearly always depicted them as short, yellow-skinned, bucktoothed caricatures who speak broken English and get thoroughly humiliated by Bugs, Daffy, or some other character. Then there's the classic ethnic scrappy of the series, Pepe Le Pew. Even ignoring the many Unfortunate Implications of what he is — making a skunk character French seems pretty reminiscent of the stereotype that the French ignore hygiene, and his personality recalls the other stereotype that they're chauvinists — his whole horny schtick is offensive on its own to many people. However, those that aren't offended generally see him as an Ensemble Dark Horse, so he is more of a Base-Breaking Character. (It sort of helps the pro-Pepe case that he's not actually a Frenchman.) In an ironic twist, he has never been the target of any kind of controversy in France since his French accent has been replaced by an Italian one (the French are mostly unaware of their reputation as womanizers, but are well aware of the Latin Lover one), despite the fact that he mostly appears in French locations in the show.

He's China Boy with some tweaks, such as being a Monkey King Lite martial artist who lives in the forest and lacks even a basic understanding of human culture. It doesn't help that one of his earliest appearances that wasn't cutting a piece of wood in half was him eating a dog (well, a wolf). Later works would flesh him out much more as a character and establish him as a member of a race of Human Aliens known as the Saiyans, which don't have ties to any real-world Earth culture.

Ethnic Scrappy / int_483a069c	comment	Mortadelo y FilemÃ³n: Black people are usually portrayed as relatively sane, civilized, and well-articulated. However, they are drawn like in a 1930s cartoon. Chinese people are a different matter—they are drawn and act like in 1930s cartoons! Even Chinese space program engineers are portrayed as bucktoothed gnomes who talk in Asian Speekee Engrish (and eat "flied lice"). Black people tend to come in two varieties: regularly sized, relatively slender fellows who are particularly civilized, and big, muscular men who are easy to anger. An album taking place in New York City includes both varieties. FilemÃ³n and Mortadelo's attempts to investigate Harlem and locate a suspected terrorist continuously end with them beaten by various locals who seem to dislike having white people around. When the two agents finally get their suspect, he turns out to be a leader of the community. Their information about a bomb was wrong. His "bomb" was evidence of political corruption, and how money supposedly going into urban development ended up in the wrong hands. This is mostly due to Values Dissonance. Although still present, racism is not nearly as big in Spain as in other countries, so these portrayals are mostly just seen as innocent jokes with no ulterior motives or messages, conscious or otherwise. There are some minor puns on black characters, always Played for Laughs: In some stories, black athletes' sweat is black. A particular joke on a series of cyclists said: "This one's red with anger, this one's green with envy, this one's yellow with liver problems, this one's black with... well, obviously, with being from Tanzania..." In an old short story, Mortadelo and FilemÃ³n are asked to escort a young African prince back to his country after he has finished his studies in Spain. During the flight, the child causes trouble around the plane, and the stewardess asks Mortadelo, "Are you traveling with a boy of color?". Mortadelo calmly answers, "It depends. Which color?".

Samurai is the least stereotypical, only because you can't recognize him as Japanese until he slips into Gratuitous Japanese with an American accent. Several other works such as Justice League and Young Justice (2010) try to fix their faults when they reference them, more specifically by portraying them far less offensively stereotypical.

He is blatantly stereotyped as a power-hungry Arabian terroristic and militaristic tyrant who would even team up with the Decepticons just to get what he wants. Notably, his depiction was so offensive it resulted in Casey Kasem (who was Lebanese-American) quitting the show in disgust, consequently leading to Cliffjumper, Teletraan-I, and other characters he had voiced disappearing from the show. Some of the showrunners have tried to defend his portrayal by saying he was intended as a parody of infamous Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi rather than an attack on Arabs in general, but the fact that his final scene involves him swearing on the lives of his relatives' livestock undermines this claim significantly.

Due to the backlash, these tropes were phased out until she became a mosh pit girl.

However, we find out later that due to a â€œGreat Mistakeâ€� some thirty years ago, the Svenjaya agreed to a forty-year period of penance for the entire tribe, and stereotypes about the race were written into the penance contract, requiring them to all behave that way while they served the humans they had wrongedâ€”-which was better than having the tribe decimated in revenge. Significantly, Slavayat, who was away at school when the contract was written, is perfectly articulate, with just a few notes in his speech to remind you that he isn't human; and Mevaryat, the great musician, sounds exactly like a human (which is a source of mild annoyance to Slavayat).

It's worth pointing out that ugly Japanese characters, like Gin, are not drawn anywhere near as distorted as Tony, and Tony's ugly features are exaggerations of white facial features, making him this trope.

Their scenes were meant to be humorous, and they probably would have gotten a few laughs in the '90s or early 2000s, but such jokes had become widely considered unacceptable by 2016, and you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn't think they're the worst part of the game. The Royal Updated Re Release changed their scenes to be less offensive by drastically toning down the sexual implications, and gave them actual names (Angel and Julian/Julie). They're still somewhat contentious in that they're two Camp Gay dudes who drag a straight boy off to do something he's not interested in without his consent, but at least they're not overtly homophobic caricatures anymore.

Besides having literal red skin (which their song "What Made the Red Man Red?" attributes to a white boy blushing after getting kissed by a girl he liked), they have a mishmash of different tribes' cultures, and most are drawn cartoonishly compared to the more normal-looking white characters. Only Tiger Lily is drawn differently, and unsurprisingly she's the most popular Indian character in the movie by far. The Indians notably don't appear in Return To Neverland, and the DVD does not give the option to skip to "What Made the Red Man Red?" They do appear in the 2002 game, though but without the stereotypical red skin color.

As the setting is based on old Gothic Horror literature and the old Universal monster movies, the Vistani were created to fill the niche of "mysterious, mystical and morally-ambiguous wandering gypsies", which is a rather negative stereotype of the Romani people. Not helped by the fact they're not human and go mad on a full moon. The fourth edition of the game somewhat rectified this by making the Vistani merely a cultural group that encompassed many races and toned down the more obviously-negative aspects of the race, however the fifth edition module/reboot of the setting Curse of Strahd brought the Vistani back to their roots.

They are a Cannibal Tribe of five Techos who kidnap other Neopets to eat them. They were rather popular (at least with The Neopets Team) and went on to be featured in the ill-fated Adventures of Jake plot, a Neovision ad, and in a commercial for Nickelodeon in 2010. When they returned (or, at least the Shadow Techo member who was cloned thrice) in 2016 as part of the Advent Calendar, eyebrows were raised and as they appeared again in the following year's Advent Calendar, people had begun to generally view them as an outdated racist stereotype. In recent years, they have become the poster child of Neopets' less-than-progressive depictions of "exotic cultures" with many lobbying for them to be retconned.

Ethnic Scrappy / int_93f2eb70	comment	Chop-Chop from Blackhawk. All the Caucasian characters are tall and normal-looking. The Chinese man is three feet tall, as wide as he is high with lemon-yellow skin, huge chimpanzee-like ears, teeth like a radiator grille, tiny, slitted eyes, and a silly accent. They all wear uniforms and caps, he wears a multi-coloured Qing Dynasty outfit and a ribbon in his pigtail. However, later issues, as early as the Silver Age, make him look like a normal Chinese guy, take away his stupid accent, and give him a uniform. In the 1980s continuation by Mark Evanier, set in World War II again, Chop Chop (now Wu Cheng for a real name) is drawn much more realistically while still wearing his usual clothes and eventually becomes dissatisfied with how he is treated in the team. The other Blackhawks realize to their embarrassment how they were wrong in how they were treating Wu Cheng that way and start to make up for it, beginning with giving him a standard Blackhawk uniform and his own plane with great ceremony. Howard Chaykin's 1988 reworking of Blackhawk, which also gives him a real name, shows him to be insulted and angered by his teammates' use of the derogatory nickname. In fact, the miniseries doesn't shy away from depicting any of the racism and sexism of the World War II era. Later issues of Hawkworld show the character as a successful businessman. His "past" was retconned to be a couple of pointless jokes and he was always a valued member of the team.

Ethnic Scrappy / int_9992c8b0	comment	When Dennis the Menace (US) artist Hank Ketcham heard about Charles Schultz taking steps to diversify the cast of Peanuts in the late '60s, he followed his lead by introducing Jackson, an African-American boy, to the cast in 1970. Unfortunately, he was drawn as a Blackface-Style Caricature with pitch-black skin, wide, staring eyes, and bulbous lips, dooming Ketcham's attempts at goodwill. Making matters worse, Jackson received no in-comic dialogue and was the subject of some rather distasteful jokes about his "race trouble" with Dennisâ€”"He runs faster than I do!" says Dennis. Jackson made one other appearance after his debut (which lightened his skin tone and shrunk his eyes and lips) before vanishing from the strip for good.

He was originally slated to be voiced by Louis Armstrong, but was recast as fellow jazz singer Louis Prima (thus maintaining The Danza) when somebody at Disney realized that having a lazy ape who wants to be human being voiced by an African-American man at the height of the Civil Rights movement would be a very bad look.

Also, his dad's cell phone saves the day. Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen's Twins, Skids and Mudflap (AKA "Herp and Derp") are this and more. With gold teeth, painful slang, and a way of playing to every black stereotype imaginable, especially the derogatory ones, ("We don't do much readin'."), you have to wonder if Michael Bay was testing the resiliency of his career when he let Tom Kenny and Reno Wilson get away with their performance. According to The Powers That Be, The Twins are supposed to be caricatures of wiggers, white youths who act stereotypically black to look badass. Unfortunately, since they're orange and green robot cars, this concept is kind of lost in translation, and most people think it's an excuse, especially since they could have had holograms (like Arcee had a female hologram).

Ethnic Scrappy / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: "The Tomb of the Cybermen" features a foolish black man who refers to himself in the third person and who is mostly defined by his extreme loyalty to his mistress, Kaftan. He is treated as a Living Prop by most of the story, and even though he's crucial to the plot, he appears to have no interiority and doesn't even appear to understand the implications of his Heroic Sacrifice. Bonus points for having the Doctor explain to him that he's only enslaved because he allows himself to be, with the political subtext obvious! Made worse by the fact that earlier and later stories that same year involve black characters who are nowhere near as bad as this — even the black mute strongman character in the previous story is mostly treated like a person, with Victoria regarding him as her best friend. Also, the villains Kaftan and Klieg are both kind of 'generic shifty foreigners' with nonspecific accents. "The Web of Fear" opens up with a much-criticised scene where Travers is trying to get hold of a robot yeti back from the museum curator he sold it to, who is for some unfathomable reason a stereotypical Greedy Jew named Julius Silverstein. This may have been a very racist attempt to make him an Asshole Victim, as he is killed by the yeti fewer than ten minutes into the story. The Terrance Dicks novelisation makes an Author's Saving Throw by renaming him Emil Julius and doing away with the stereotypical speech patterns. "Terror of the Autons" contains a scene where the Doctor is threatened by a Scary Black Man strongman in a leopard-print loincloth, who speaks only in grunts. Said strongman is also played by the same actor as Toberman, a similar character from "The Tomb of the Cybermen".

Ethnic Scrappy / int_c511c682	comment	In Asterix, the way Uderzo draws black characters (the most notable one being the crows' nest pirate) and the occasional Chinese background character is very upsetting, but they're usually written like any other character and so fail to qualify for this trope. (In the original French editions of the comic, as well as some early English translations, the aforementioned crows' nest pirate spoke in a broken Eye Dialect that was, for obvious reasons, dropped from both later on.) The only — and how! — true Ethnic Scrappy in the series is the Nagma in Asterix and the Falling Sky, which was written in 2005. He is an alien who is supposed to represent the influence of manga on Franco-Belgian Comics — unfortunately, he's also drawn like a yellowface caricature, the other characters hate him on sight before he's even done anything bad, and he speaks in stilted You No Take Candle speech which is supposed to represent Engrish. Much noise is made over how all his technology was ripped off from the American Fantasy Counterpart Culture, and Obelix, who usually is good-natured and doesn't particularly care about gender roles, angrily declares he hates him for being unmanly (and the audience is meant to side with him). Uderzo had to issue a public apology for how poor the story was, in which it became apparent that his hatred of manga — and by extension the Japanese — was based on a very limited understanding of Japanese culture. At this point, Uderzo was a very old man, his brother had recently died, and he was losing his ability to draw, and the drop in writing and art quality is so enormous that it has all the hallmarks of Creator Breakdown.

Supposedly, the Zulus throwing spears at the Quest Jet in the closing credits are from an episode that never aired, but that image is crazy enough. The worst that DID air is "The Sea Haunt", where the team are stranded on a ship when the Monster of the Week smashes their plane. They find the only survivor of the ship's crew — a Chinese cook named Charlie who has a horrible accent, dresses stereotypically (how did they miss giving him a pigtail?), and continually references his "honorable ancestors".To be fair, Charlie at least gets a big part in helping stop the monster. They are eventually spotted by Dutch search parties from Batavia— despite Jakarta (and Indonesia) having been independent for years already by the time the episode was produced. Oy... Hadji. In Jonny Quest: The Real Adventures, the first season's writers actually worked to avert this trope with Hadji, only for him to fall back into it in the second season with the reintroduction of the Mystical India elements of his character. However, the first season's success at aversion is still debatable, considering they ended up turning him into a Bollywood Nerd computer expert (although that hadn't yet become a stereotype at the time the show was airing).

Ethnic Scrappy / int_d9c7aae2	comment	Bring It On straddles the line with the East Compton Clovers, a cheerleading squad full of sassy black women who make racist taunts to the protagonists. It's pointedly averted with their captain Isis, who is a developed character. Notably, the only ethnic minority on the protagonists' squad is Whitney (Asian), and she's something of an Alpha Bitch.

He remains unrelentingly pleasant in the face of Fred's unrelenting racism, which may have been intended as a type of Stealth Insult a la Lionel Jefferson, but it really comes off... badly.

The RPG is not played for laughs, and would probably have been even more offensive if it had been. Particularly offensive sample:

Pico and Darnell both have the same Monochromatic Eyes, but Nene's eyes are drawn slanted, and she even featured Asian Buck Teeth in the discontinued Pico Roulette. Some of her dialogue in the old Newgrounds rating system didn't help either.

Ethnic Scrappy / int_ea4f62db	comment	Family Guy: Jasper, Brian's gay cousin, is considered by many as a "Gay Scrappy" due to having little personality outside of being a stereotypical Camp Gay. Quagmire's transgender mother Ida gets a lot of hate for being a "trans scrappy". The supposedly liberal and accepting Brian vomits for a minute straight after finding out that the woman he slept with is trans, she tends to get called things like "a monster" and "some drag queen", and she has no real personality of her own outside of being trans. Both Ida and Brian's gay cousin Jasper are allegedly written to be sympathetic, but it's hard to imagine anyone in the LGBT community wanting to idolize them with the treatment they get in-show. There's also Mort Goldman, who gradually devolved into a walking Jewish caricature (which is rather ironic considering he started out as merely Ambiguously Jewish). Over time, he became a nebbish, money-grubbing, easily-spooked whiner who writes angry letters demanding compensation for the most minor of inconveniences (on multiple occasions, he's written to Ritz over some broken crackers in boxes he's bought). Lampshaded in the episode "Road to Germany", when an antisemitic caricature in Nazi Germany looks exactly like him. Fouad, the Arab who's continually amused by (and explains) Peter's American humor.

Ethnic Scrappy / int_eae5292b	comment	Shanghai Express has Chang as the villain - he's a rapist and mutilator. In true 1930s Hollywood tradition, he's played by the white Warner Oland in Yellowface. The film does at least hand-wave it by saying Chang is half-white. It's also slightly better by featuring Anna May Wong (who was Chinese) as Hui Fei, in one of the relatively few non-stereotypical roles of her career.

Ethnic Scrappy / int_ef076a36	comment	Chakotay from Star Trek: Voyager is sometimes seen like this. Despite being in the first officer of Voyager, he's seen as a mishmash of all the worst traits of white people writing about Native Americans, including his mystical insight powers and mastery of survival and tracking. That he's based on information from a con man pretending to be an expert on Native American culture might have something to do with it. Robert Beltran (who played him) was rather vocal about hating the character and the show's writing in general.

Ethnic Scrappy / int_ef8bd4a5	comment	Mega Man: Some players have a great deal of hatred for Oil Man of Mega Man Powered Up, even after the character got a bit of a rework to accommodate the more racially sensitive Western world. Complete with oily black skin and thick pink lipsnote the US version changed it to dark blue and yellow lips—which still doesn't help that much, dancing reminiscent of black minstrels, and obnoxious Engrishy "Yo, yo, yo!" before each sentence, note Again, the English translation blunted this stereotype, replacing it instead with a streetwise, urban way of speaking, Oil Man brings an unwelcome dose of this trope to the series. Downplayed in the comic series, where Oil Man uses his Japanese color scheme but with his lips permanently covered by a Scarf of Asskicking Ã la Strider Hiryu; this look proved very popular with the fanbase and is commonly seen in fan games and artwork. Buckfire the Gaxelleroid from Mega Man ZX Advent, an obnoxious Braids, Beads and Buckskins caricature of a Native American warrior complete with broken English and high-pitched war cries. Like Oil Man, the English localization attempted to tone down his more overtly racial elements, but he's still a pretty brazen stereotype.

Ethnic Scrappy / int_f3464a68	comment	Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen's Twins, Skids and Mudflap (AKA "Herp and Derp") are this and more. With gold teeth, painful slang, and a way of playing to every black stereotype imaginable, especially the derogatory ones, ("We don't do much readin'."), you have to wonder if Michael Bay was testing the resiliency of his career when he let Tom Kenny and Reno Wilson get away with their performance. According to The Powers That Be, The Twins are supposed to be caricatures of wiggers, white youths who act stereotypically black to look badass. Unfortunately, since they're orange and green robot cars, this concept is kind of lost in translation, and most people think it's an excuse, especially since they could have had holograms (like Arcee had a female hologram).
