After decades of Thomas the Tank Engine having various international characters, typically represented by an actual train design from their home countries, conservatives have finally noticed and gotten angry about it. This is because the latest one is from Africa. In response, the NRA posted pictures of the show's trains in Klan hoods.
Dana Loesch: "Nia, will be from Kenya to add ethnic diversity to the show. And -- which that by the way, that's Where it gets really strange to me because I've looked at Thomas and Friends, at their pictures, and I see gray and blue. Am I to understand this entire time that Thomas and his trains were white? Because they all have gray faces."
What's funny about this is the Kenyan train is, in fact,
the same color as all the others:
Loesch hasn't actually seen what she's mad about. She's
imagining a black train and getting frightened and angry. Each thing a little more overt than the last.
