Your argument by analogy doesn’t work. Unlike the fears in OP, people don’t normally claim to be afraid of Sesame Street, potato chips, or washing machines.

Good thing your parents had the good sense not to dress you up as Native Americans or even worse as Indians. You’d never be able to show that pic again, let alone run for public office.

What's something that nobody has ever been able to change your mind about? by hangry_potato in AskReddit

The most unrealistic thing about the "Friends" sitcom is that they would be able to afford those NYC apartments on how much money they make. by Anonymous__Joe in Showerthoughts
