TinTin was condemned as racist long ago. Herge himself condemned it as racist, and spent the latter part of his career apologizing for his own work. It was, more or less, a product of its time, and of Herge's own completely eurocentric upbringing.

That would explain everybody's favorite, TinTin Vs The Jews.

I'm more partial to "TinTin and the Fabled City of the Slant-Eyes".

Which makes Spielberg's fondness for the comic all the more interesting.

Asians got it made. They see the world in 2.35 aspect ratio.

That one's great. I love it when TinTin disguises himself as a Chinaman to infiltrate Fu Manchu's Inner Sanctum of Death by 1,000 Fingers.

Oh yeah, and when Fu Manchu gets so distracted by chasing Snowy around with a knife and fork that he forgets to lock the cage in which he's trapped TinTin! Hilarious! And so true!

I think Tin Tin's the least of our worries.

The whole "Herge was racist" thing comes up every couple years, it seems.

Jesus, the book's more than 70 years old. Give it a rest.

And he doesn't even mention the exploding rhino.
