Hm...well, first off, I think this guy Dan gots issues.
1) He didn’t do enough research to know how to say “Lego”..ie. “Legos”...
2) “Aryan Yellow”...that’s a leap of faith. White folks are no more yellow than
black/African-American folks are yellow. There goes that thing called
“imagination”... and has he even looked at the new sets (Spid
3) If he had done his checking up on Orient Expedition, the bad guy isn’t the
Marahaja, it’s Sam Sinister... the Marahaja is just in cahoots with him, so
we’ve got “aryan orientals” helping good guys (as guides) and bad guys... so,
how is that racist?
4) as Dave E says...how does the title work into his “article”?
