I've never even heard of this show until I was clicking through channels while bored and saw cute fairies and decided to give it a minute or two of my time.
The story line for this particular episode was about a thief who was stealing all the fairy's boots. After a discussion by the main characters about who the thief might be they decide that it absolutely had to be -- the black girl. Yes, OBVIOUSLY, the lone black character on the show was the only suspect.
Then as it turns out, the real boot thief is revealed to be the servant (who appears to be Asian). Really?
I know this is just a Saturday morning children's cartoon, but my jaw dropped. Somehow I expected better in these more politically aware times.
