the simpsons and racism update

in my previous post on this i got a few things wrong

the simpsons actually has 3 major black characters and 3 more minor ones however as i said none have ever been major players in a story line and really they could better be described as reacering characters if you disagree with me then heres the list and if you don't disagree with me then heres the list

lenny/carl i can never remember which one is what
black policeman can't remember his name
Dr hibbert

and his wife
lisa black friend
barts black class mate

actually there is one black cast member who has had story lines in which he is a major player and perhaps even the main focus bleeding gums murthy but they killed him off

another point against the show is that one of their many many white characters mr smithers in this case used to be black but was changed also the colour of the background players used to be more racialy mixed but as they started to give more deffinition to those miner characters more and more of them became white and less and less of them stayed black.
