Besides, the best Thomas the Tank Engine episodes were the ones read by Alec Baldwin, doing James as a huffy drama queen.

Which is what? That children's programming should reflect her racism?

Isn’t she, though. ALCO had the license to build Garretts in the US. With the boiler slung between the running gear they could have bigger diameters and YUUUGE steaming capacity. ALCO has worked out the problems with changes to tractive effort caused by emptying the tanks by using smaller tanks and adding on a big tender, I believe. They could never get any US railroad to take a chance. Back when I had eyes, I flirted with the idea of modeling one.

it comes out in episode 3 that Nia was snatched from her rails in Kenya and taken to Sodor by the British East India company.

Only 1% of Kenya's population is non-African. Maybe Nia isn't the best representative of diversity?

Okay, that's actually kinda funny. I'll give it that.

I take it that you have failed to fully understand the point she was making as well. Oh well, not everyone is good at trying at the very least to understand things that they don't like anyways.

Even so, that still does not invalidate the decent point that she's making here.

You have COMPLETELY missed the point in what Dana was saying, you blithering idiot. Her point was that there is no reason to "increase diversity" amongst the cast of this of this show because characters are TRAINS and NOT PEOPLE, and that it would be completely pointless, meaningless, and would make ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE to do so. That's all, literally nothing else was being even REMOTLEY implied. If that isn't what you took away from your observation of this skit done by Dana, then I strongly suggest that you shut your fucking disease-ridden piehole and get your vision, hearing, critical thinking skills, reading comprehension skills, and overall cognitive abilities thoroughly checked out, because people like you need to cut it with the BS that is spewing out of your mouth from your fucked-up brain. Also, the rest of the comment section's ability to understand the point that Dana's making is just as shit, if not even more full of shit.

Lets see how long it is until Dana Loesch starts to whine about the non existent "white genocide" that has come about from us not forcibly separating interracial couples.

Hey Dana Loesch,

Why don't you just go back to whining about how the "evil" government is going to take your guns away that you need to overthrow their "tyranny?" Never mind how you and your fellow gun nuts would never be able to do that. At least than you don't make yourself sound like a racist. Seriously, why do you even care about the fact that they'll be adding female trains and ethnic diversity to the show? What is so horrible about that?
