We were taught in school back in the day about how the US was a melting pot of various cultures. It still is, if you don't listen to right wing media.
On Thanksgiving night, Sesame Street will formally introduce its newest Muppet character, Ji-Young, a 7 year old Korean-American who plays guitar and rides a skateboard.
Awww, they look soooooooo cute together, don't they?
As Sesame Street, now in its 53rd season, continues to open doors for children of all cultures, it's also open for parents to gain a better understanding of our brothers & sisters from Asia, Europe, Latin America, et al, and not have to fall prey to propaganda from conservative hot air dealers like Fox News' Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, et al. Apparently, none of them want to admit they've ever read The Huddled Masses at the Statue of Liberty.
The picture above also will give cause to debunk the long-standing rumors of Ernie and his BFF, Bert, if Ernie becomes more than just a guide for Ji-Young along the Street, if you catch my drift.

Seeing Ji-Young and Ernie next to each other made me realize something...Ernie has no eyebrows!
Didn't notice that. I guess it's to illustrate how he's "wide eyed & innocent".
