      Oh shit. I did miss that. Well I got got.

      I do still think it's pretty racist that Black voices are predominantly used as villains in cartoons, even if this isn't an example of that.

          I like the super Mario Brothers super show casting. Like, cast two Sicilians (or Italians) - or at least two Brooklyn -raised Italians.
