More Racism, With an Island Theme

[GMDino]

I like this!

Here's my list:

1. Mr. Howell
2. Mrs. Howell
3. Ginger
4. The Professor
5. The Skipper
6. Gilligan
7. Mary Ann



Mr. Howell:  Obviously he has worked for what he has and all of "those" below him are just "takers"!  He's certainly not paying those lazy people any more than HE feels they deserve! And honestly he doesn't even want to pay white people if they are below his station in life!


Mrs. Howell: She doesn't "hate" other races!  She just "knows" that they are there to serve her and therefore she is "better".


Ginger:  We aren't sure of her upbringing, and she is one of those "Hollywood elite", but for the time frame of the show she would be part of a culture that thinks white people should get all the parts.  Asian, native american, all of them.


The Professor:  Based on the time frame of the show again he would still have "studies" that showed he was part of the "superior" race.  He may have some doubts and may want to do more "research" but he would follow the "science" of the day.  Besides who has time to worry about fixing that theory when he has to fix a boat!  Race theory wouldn't be a priority to him.  He would just follow the latest "research".


The Skipper:  This would fall more under the same as Mr. Howell.  Obviously "his" people work harder because he is one of them!  Look, he keeps Gilligan around no matter how many times hes screws up.  You think any of "those people" would do better?  But he falls down the list because in the end as the head of the boat he almost ONLY cares about getting the job done.  So *IF* one of "them" showed they could do the job then so be it!


Gilligan: No matter how many times he screws up he keeps his job.  And certainly he workers smarter and harder than "them".  "White privilege" at its finest!  LOL!


MaryAnn:  Yes, she was raised in Kansas.  But we know she was raised poorer and is a farm girl.  Lots of hired hands on those farms.  A lot of "those kind" working for pennies because they are "good at that kind of work".  And being closer to "them" from a socioeconomic point of view she would interact more with them and perhaps learn more about them as individuals versus an entire ethnic group.


My 2 cents.


Good thread/idea!  LOL!
