So, a couple of years ago, I worked on a short film called Teenage Baby with my husbnd and my pal Kate. We made a production website called
UnicornBaby.comOn it, Kate wrote that because all unicorns are white, they are racist. Then today, I received this email:

What is this about???
Unicorns have horns. (thus their being a UNIcorn)
Unicorns are usually white. (usually white! so sometimes they are pink, blue, orange, black, or whatever.. not into cartoons are you???)
I've never seen a unicorn that wasn't white. (they are Usually white, but you have not seen a non-white unicorn)
IF something is Usually white, that would mean that it is not always white... which means there are non-white unicorns...
Unicorns are racist. (unicorns are fictitious, they can't have a bias such as Racist.. your charge that they do makes you a racist!)
It's a fact. (only in your own mind)
Does that mean that A BLACK PANTHER is racist too cause there a no white black panthers?
Polar bears are white... are they racist too?
the only ones that are racist are those that see people as black or white...
I remember someone by the name of Martin L. King who said he looks forward to the day
when people are judged by the character and not by the color of their skin....
and here you are taking a fantasy creature and turning it into a political icon for your own
agenda.... get off your band wagon and get real....
what you are really saying is the people who draw unicorns as being white are racist... like
an artist has the color of people in mind when they draw a fantasy creature....
the smurfs are blue.. does that make them racist??
Racism carries connotations of race-based bigotry, prejudice, violence, oppression, stereotyping or discrimination, the term has varying and often hotly contested definitions. Racialism is a related term intended to avoid these negative meanings. According to the Oxford English Dictionary , racism is a belief or ideology that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially to distinguish it as being either superior or inferior to another race or races. The Merriam-Webster's Webster's Dictionary dictionary defines racism as a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race, and that it is also the prejudice based on such a belief.[1] The Macquarie Dictionary defines racism thus: the belief that human races have distinctive characteristics which determine their respective cultures, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule or dominate others.
I have never known of a story with a UNICORN that ever depicted that the UNICORN was a superior creature to any human black, white or purple...
Seems to me that people like you love throwing the word RACISM out at every opportunity you can just to create more RACISM!
GET REAL!
I don't care if you are white, black, purple, pink, blue or whatever.. your statement is a blatant attack on something that
is completely outside the realm of your political agenda. You are obviously a racist, that is a fact!!
Just my thought....
BTW.. I checked out your ABOUT US PAGE... is there a reason the three of you are all white....???
Oh Bruce, I think I love you. And tomorrow, I will answer all of your questions right here on my blog! Stay sexy, Bruce.
