I just figured this out...
----------
warm color-wheel characters:
red, orange, yellow = elmo (a little uplifting guy that everyone loves), ernie (the humorous main star of the show), and big bird (a large friendly sensative bird)
cold color-wheel characters:
green, blue, purple = oscar (a homless angry guy), cookie monster (a guy with a major addiction who is known to steal cookies), and grover (a homosexual)
----------
Clearly they are racist against the cool colors which I interpret to mean blacks and homosexuals.
There is one token white straight guy in the following pic. The rest are referred to as 'monsters'.

a very long time ago I had a record where ernie goes on a tiger hunt with his 'trusty rusty telescope'. It wasn't a song but sound effects eg. ok now we're going to swim across this river *swim sounds*. It ends with him climbing a tree and he says like, I don't see a tiger anywhere and then this tiger says "GOOOOOD AFTERNOOOOOON!" I think it was in the same tree or something. So in a panic ernie goes through all the same sound effect things backwards (river, swish through tall grass, etc) back to his home. If I remember right the tiger knocks on the door simply to return his trusty rusty telescope. But anyway it was the most frightening thing I'd ever experienced at that age aside from gmork from the neverending story. THE END.

So, in these not out of date times, someone having the word "nigger" shouted at them is based on what exactly? Or "paki"?

i meant the term "nigger" is in reference to colour
some countries consist exclusively of people in one particular colour group. many though are ethnically diverse and so the term "racism" cannot be used anymore as a reference to colour. the term "yank" is a racist term, but not all americans are one colour.

You are typing shit. African-Americans consider themselves to be a distinct racial group just as the white devils do. People are still judged on their skin colour. Recent racial profiling is taking place primarily on the basis that you are a person of colour from the East. Therefore colour has everything to do with racism.

i didn't mean it like that.
i mean that racism as a term is inconsistent, and so as a defining term is massively flawed for use in the 21st century. racism as a term is meant to be defined by nationality. in the past the term was apt due to the fact that most countries were ethnically concentrated (i.e. britain = white). can you see where i'm coming from?

Racism as a term is meant to be defined by race, not nationality. What is massively flawed about a term defining the mistreatment of others based on race? Racism is fucked up but there is nothing wrong with the word. Prejudicial behaviour based on the perceived racial background of another person whether defined by colour or not is racism. Colour is still a primary factor is racist behaviour.

Oh right, and those other three or four countries were the black, brown and yellow ones. Just how far back are we going?

actually according to wikipedia there was a lot of speculation that bert and ernie were gay, but they made an official statement they weren't.
in the new ren and stimpy's (im the pitcher you're the catcher), the creator said they can be anything they want them to be for the gag. I like shows with that type of character.. in the show 'friends' for example, everything accumulates, so the creators constantly have to keep behavior etc. narrow in order to fit in with stuff that happened/quirks revealed etc in previous episodes. Thus it gets boringly over driilled that whatserface is a cleanfreak or whatever. ren and stimpy etc. just start with a clean slate every episode. Although seinfeld is great and didn't do it the clean slate way so this is a big bunch of purposeless text you just read; a disclaimer I should put at the end of all of my posts. If I was nice I'd put it at the beginning.
