watch this racist scene from a cartoon that recently aired on Nickelodeon

“There is a strong underlying Negroid element in the mass of the Indian population [Sir Harry declares] and in the Southernmost part of the great peninsula there are forest tribes of dark skin and strikingly Negro physiognomy, with frizzled or wooly hair…In the more eastern among the Malay Islands — especially in Buru, Jilolo and Timor — the interior tribes are of obvious Negro stock. Still more marked is this in the case of New Guinea, and most of all in the Bismarck Archipelago and northern Solomon Islands. In these last the resemblance of the natives to the average Negro of Africa is most striking, although the distance is something like 8,000 miles. Negro affinities extend east of the Solomon Archipelago to Fiji and Hawaii, and south to New Caledonia, Tasmania and even New Zealand. On the other hand, Africa for many thousand years has been obviously the chief domain of the Negro.”
