   I don't know about the race, but Ernie is orange, so maybe he's meant   
   to be a young Donald Trump.  ;-)   
      
   You also have to wonder what species Elmo and Oscar are.   
      
   Then there are talking frogs, pigs, dogs, etc. ... must completely   
   confuse kids when they find there aren't any in the real world.

   Earlier this year Sesame Street also added two new black Muppets, which   
   are black-skinned, but one has a bright purple nose and the other has a   
   bright orange nose. They even specifically mention the nose as one of   
   the "racial features", so does that mean all black people have purple   
   or orange noses?!   
      
      
      
   All this moronic "Politically Correct" garbage has to stop.   :-\
