One of the best episodes IMO.
*Has more to say about the topic than “Racism bad”.
*The Mane Six aren’t just strawmen who only exist to be made an example of.
*Zecora doesn’t exist to be a victim you feel bad for; she has her own goals as a character.
*Makes the point that some people believe bad things not because they’re irredeemable assholes, but because they had experiences that gave them a genuine bad impression
*Make the point that racism isn’t bad because “they were mean to the minority”, but because it interferes with individuals’ ability to offer something to the world, which ties back to the show’s theme of “self-actualization”.
G3 and G3.5 were basically aiming for what’s hip with the little girls at the time.
