Watching A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving... Franklin is the only one sitting on one side of the table. Racist.

Overly sensitive tweeps call Charlie Brown Thanksgiving racist

11/23/2012

It's the holidays: time for sitting around the dinner table, warming our hearts with family, and debating whether our traditions are racist. After recent Columbus Day protests, a new holiday villain has emerged: Charlie Brown. Yep, that yellow-shirted cartoon character has Twitter abuzz today with folks claiming an older "Peanuts" Thanksgiving special is racist. (The accusation comes just as an atheist group wants "A Charlie Brown Christmas" banned for being too religious). One of the themes of today's concerns is how Franklin is seated alone on one side of the table. OK … and doesn't the zigzag on Charlie's T-shirt look kind of like a swastika? [Source]
