I like that yah pay attention to minute details ;) I would have never noticed but I think it may be a coincidence...although the guy seemed to have a modified Klaus voice meaning he may have been German...ok I'm done with that. By the way I don't think the writers are racist at all since they seem to have a deep respect for Asians (even if they make fun of Francine's Parents) for example Toshi is displayed as intelligent and honorable and is always shown making fun of his ignorant friends. The ladybug Asian lady had her own theme song when she made a witty joke....some popular handsome guy at Steve's school was Asian yadda yadda yadda. They make fun of Jewish people but then again who doesn't and even Stan said, "Someone should tell them the Jews are doing fine...excelling even." So just wanted to point out the writers are not racist and PROBABLY Asian hehe or a healthy mix of cultures.   See 8 other replies

Thought the subject was dead, but I'll bite.
This is an animated show so any deliberate color and line requires effort. Now you might say that the color contrasts the shoes in question but even Stan doesn't have shoelaces. Minor characters are rarely given complexity and detail. I'm not saying that the animators had that in mind, but the detail sticks out and it is part of the shows M.O. to stick easter eggs and obscure jokes throughout it. I was merely inquiring into that joke and pointing out a probably unintentional cross-reference.
I imagine Nazis probably like sandwiches,too as long as they have mayo on them. =)   See 8 other replies

That's ridiculous. According to that link, white, black, red, and yellow laces all have meaning in skinhead culture. But that doesn't mean that the reverse is also true. In other words, people who are skinheads wear white, black, red, or yellow laces in their boots, but people who wear white, black, red, or yellow laces in their boots aren't necessarily skinheads. Look at the character in question. Yes, he's white, but he's going bald... his head is not shaved. Also, what do missing sandwiches have to do with skinheads?   See 8 other replies

here you go.. Anthony Kennedy!
I believe Mr Berthelson is right though.http://formerskinhead.blogspot.com/2009/01/skinhead-braces-and-boot-code.html   See 8 other replies

I actually had to do a little research for this one but apparently white laces in high black boots amongst certain crowds does designate white supremacy,
That combined with Brit-speak apparently confirms it.I think it was part of some extremely obscure joke.   See 8 other replies

I believe it is as well.
@ Mr Kennedy...I'm interested in the source of "you're" bold prognosis given your obvious grasp of the English wordy bits. As far as I "no", and I've known some skinheads, white boot laces in "stihl" toe Docs are part of the insignia, as well as "read" laces.
If I am misinformed I will gladly investigate any sources you provide with an open mind,unlike the skinheads I've known. The state of YOUR argument is unconvincing,as it stands.   See 8 other replies
