Maybe if he was a "peeled" Mr. Potato Head, he'd be racist to white people ... oh, my cat is very anti-racist, he's black AND white!!

And I have discovered yet another evil.

In French, 'Potato' is 'pomme de terre'. Meaning 'Apple of the earth.' Since the earth is brown, and potatoes are brown, I can guess that the apple overlords are perpetrating the potatoes to pose as anti-black spokespeople, while the apples stay content owning all of the banks, and hollywood.

*thinks that people who take racial offense at everything they see ought to be removed from society*

Honestly, these people are more racist than the things they're complaining about. They think (as an example, in this case) that, because a non-black person designed the thing, it must be racist. It'd be absolutely hilarious if they complained, and then found out that the potato statue had been created by a black person...

"If you look at this potato head, the only thing missing is a watermelon." *sarcastically* Uh-oh... Better report this person to the NAACP. She sounds racist...
