To be quite honest even though it's a cartoon and this is silly of me to say, it made me think of Michaelangelo as a bit racist.

Yikes!
Racist Putrescent?
Thats going a bit over board don't you think?
And not to bring the real world into this but why is it when some one is angry at some one of a diffrent color it's assumed their race has something to do with it? I don't think Mike would have acted any diffrently than if she was white or Asian or any other ethnic background, I think what caused Mike to act toward her the way he did was the Doctors ignorance toward animals. But if you want to look at this from a racist point of view it could be argued that the Doctor was being rather "racist" toward animals as being dumber lower life forms than humans, which of course Michaelangelo also shares since he is, for all purposes, started life out as "just an animal" and here the doctor is making blase remarks about their inferiority, her remarks most have hit close to home with Michaelangelo.
But I'm curious now, did any one else get the impression that Michelangelo was racist?
