I think its suspicious the Scottish guy is so miserly. He is lovable though and I enjoy his spats.

I stereotype most people from Europe as racist with an emphasis on the English, Irish and Scottish. I think soccer Hooligans pushed me to this.

scots is a lot better sounding than scottish. scottish sounds made up.

steve dave · « **Reply #9 on:** December 14, 2012, 10:51:16 PM »

Is the question that the character is a racist or that the portrayal of the character is racist?

in that case, i don't think it was racist. i think it was a fairly accurate portrayal of how scotsducks lived and acted at that time in history.

gizmoduck is pretty racist towards robot ducks

You occupy wall street bozos assume every rich person is a racist!

ChiComCat · « **Reply #17 on:** December 15, 2012, 11:06:21 AM »

Oh, the portrayl is certainly racist. Though I also believe that Scrooge McDuck is a racist as well.

3maw · « **Reply #18 on:** December 15, 2012, 02:30:00 PM »

portrayal is very accurate for the time. can confirm scots know of Scrooge McDuck and love him. gives a pretty true vision on life of a scot for the time.

however, would not doubt scrooge mcduck being racist.

A. Disney has history with having some pretty racist crap.
B. Scots also aren't the most welcoming to foreigners. They've been infiltrated by N. Africans and middle easterners that come to cause all sorts of trouble (true, not

). They also have asians that come and make entry into university alot harder. Lived with a scottish lady whos son married a middle eastern girl (seemed nice) and she always referred to her as "the roasted pig". Also hosted a guy from india who she called the "muddy fellow". pretty

crap.

so, portrayal, no, not racist towards scots. attitude, yes, scrooge mcduck is a racist old bastard.

Money is like the filthiest substance on earth, dude probably has all sorts of weird bacterial diseases from swimming in it. And I bet he has ear infections like 95% of the time.
