The Boondocks by Aaron McGruder for July 09, 2010
Transcript:
Jazmine: Huey, what does "Euro-whateveryousaid" mean? Huey: Eurocentrism? It's when you eliminate the African perspective and marginalize or omit people of color - their contributions, their experiences, etc. Understand? Cindy: Not really. Huey: Do you ever watch "friends"? Cindy: Yes. Huey: Then you understand.

Erocentrism is relevent in most programmed madness on the idiot box, Friends has got to be the wackiest show on the set. You heard it first from the steps of Shaolin

ybadgaf, weâre talking about Eurocentricism; âerocentricismâ is when everythingâs about sex.
The problem with Hueyâs definition is that it ignores the Asian, Native American, Pacific Rim, and Australian Aboriginal perspectives, which is just as bad as Eurocentricism.

^^ ⊠sorry. Not âjust as badâ in the least bit. Less bad, I dare say.

Haha, yeah, but say youâre going to visit Angola or Cameroon or, hell, even Tanzania, Potrzebie, and people say, âWhere?â Then you say, âItâs in Africa.â
Your point doesnât negate the point made by the comic.
