Pppfff.  People are stupid.  The episode was not racist.

There are unicorns and pegasus, and earth ponies all around that world of theirs.  Has nothing to do with race.

What, we can't make accents in cartoons anymore without being racist?  Stupid.  Get over it people.  People have accents.

Clearly, these characters were influenced by Indian cultures, but because they used that as an influence, doesn't mean it has to be negative.  People making a big deal out of nothing are the true cause for all our issues today.  Too PC.

No, people are annoyed that they weren't a different species because they were Indian influenced. People weren't mad about the accents. They were like "if they're supposed to be some sort of Asian... Why are they unicorns?" But those people are shot down with "is there a problem with them being unicorns?" So it's apparently only a handful of people.

Also, apparently Gordon Ramsey appears as a pony cameo in the episode.

Of all the criticisms I could level at this one, racism isn't one which would've even occurred to me.  I guess maybe because the Saddle Arabians were noticeably different has people thinking these two should've been...Marwari, I guess.  Which could've been neat to see, but I can't really call it wrong that it wasn't done.  That's just silly.

And according to the EqD episode follow-up, there were a bunch of famous chefs in the restaurant crowd.  As an aside, it's kinda funny how EqD strives to never be critical of MLP, yet even this follow-up seemed to be straining to find enough positive things to say.

Pfff, I never liked EqD. Too full of pretentiousness.
And way too overly high standards for fics. Actually scratch that, it's not high standards they want, it's just fics tailor made to their interests. But that asides, that's kind of funny they were trying so hard to find good things to say.

I just browse their News tag to watch for product releases and such.  The follow-ups sometimes point out references I missed, or save me the trouble of making screencaps myself.  The only other place I've tried for FiM news was Derpy News Network, and they're even weirder.

DNN is still doing stuff?  I never check there, but I should check.

Are there any other MLP news type sites?

Zesty looks horrible, with her pale complexion and stark grey outline, she seems to be suffering from either severe anemia or possibly a form of albinism. Maybe it's living on that meager haute cuisine fare for years. The gal needs some protein, stat.

The "Minnesota Nice" accent returns again ("Princess Spike").

I was reminded of that Seinfeld episode where he tried to help a struggling Indian restaurateur with his business and ended up getting him shut down and eventually deported. "You bad man! You very, very bad man!"

They say it's racist? Pfft. Somehow, I'm not surprised.
Well yeah.

There are also people complain as to why they're unicorns when they're supposed to be Asian of some sort.
Which is something that was never officially declared. Tsk. ::)
I think you're supposed to infer from their accents >_>
Ohh, right. ^^'
I hadn't noticed until now. Why? WHY?!

God, looking back at this, I'm so stupid.

I thought you meant "unicorns are supposed to be Asian".

I guess I said "ohh, right" so I wouldn't look stupid. Failed at that, didn't I? XD

F$&% me. >_<
Also sorry for necroposting I swear it won't happen again I swear DX

Pffff. Well, many people feel Twilight is Asian and she is a unicorn. And unicorns have been shown to be pretty smart. But yeaaaaah haha. Poor Numbers.

Super generic episode and one of my least favorite of season 6.  It was part of a stretch of mediocre episodes.  This is one of the worst in my opinion.  The music was bad and I didn't have any draw to the characters.  It just seems like an episode they made to try and have diversity for no reason other then to have it.  3/10.

This is an extremely boring and average episode so a horrible song. Quite possibly my least favorite song of all time on this show. But there were aspects I liked of the episode such as the point of view storytelling. It is a shame it is so predictable. 6.
