We now live in a day and age where people are writing articles all about one single detail from A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. That detail involves Franklin sitting alone at the right side of the table on a lawn chair and how it can only be established as segregation or isolation and/or Schulz being racist and I can 100% understand why some are mad about this now, and I just noticed this so I don't know if people addressed this as an issue years ago, but it feels iffy to make these accusations without doing prior research on the animators or illustrators who designed that one particular detail, or on Schulz himself.
