> [@MrDibble](#): > > The Twoflower one is on the wrong side of the racist caricature line for me. Really? I thought that one was hilarious.

With the tiny eyes, yellow paintjob and buck teeth, he looks like a [“Slap A Jap”](http://img.moonbuggy.org/superman-says-you-can-slap-a-jap/)-era caricature. ---
