RACIAL STEREOTYPES

Joe is a pretty diverse toyline, I mean it's got Blacks, Jews, Indians, Women, Robots and other things most nerds fear, but in a lot of aspects Hasbro would often make one visible minority, and then make one that was beating you over the dome saying "THIS GUY IS THIS" so here's the top whatever number I write about:

Spirit: I imagine the design process was: "Hey that Airborne dude was pretty good, shows how there's lots of different races and creeds in the army" "He was different?" "Yeah he was an Native Indian" "INDIANS HAVE MOCCASINS AND EAGLES AND NAMES LIKE SEEING WOLF AND COMANCHE, MAKE ONE LIKE THAT" and that's why we got a "Tracker" (Whatever that is) who has stupid hair and somewhat dangerous shoes, I've worn moccasins and I don't want to step on busted rocks and shit wearing those.

Spirit also had a ridiculous weapon, I'm no gunsmith (I'm a roadie for ELO) but can a rifle shoot arrows, it doesn't seem plausible to me. Worse than Spirt was Dart, some ugly guy with a small head a 70's eagle chain. I figure he was designed to be an army guy version of a casino indian.

Roadblock: Hey, a black guy with a soul patch and a tank top who's almost as good a rapper as Trunks (BLITZ YA WHOLE TEAM SOMETHING SOMETHING DRUM AND BASS MUSIC SOMETHING SOMETHING INSPECTOR GADGET REFRENCE SOMETHING CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE FUCKED UP KIND check out King Geedorah yo) Then he got an earring. Not really a great example of a terrible stereotype until you remember, his original codename was "Bubba"

Now I wonder why Cobra never got any, except maybe the Dreadnoks and their band of homosexuals and Anarchists (Gee they're just Texas' hardcore scene I guess) I wish they would have made a South American Cobra who was like a Contra, but then again I guess he'd have to be a Joe and we can't let people know there's bad stuff being done by the good guyz

This article is a 10 on the scale of bands with Chuck Biscuits!
