I can kinda understand why they are mad because I wouldn't want them to change some fictional characters I hold near and dear to me. But the character is fictional so it isn't all that serious.. lol.
On another note I was watching a Hot 97 video about this and they had a good point about most of the characters being black if they live in the Caribbean. I mean the crab had a Jamaican accent in the cartoon and Jamaica is mostly inhabited by black folks as is most of the islands in the Caribbean. That is really gonna piss White folks off if the cast is mostly black and the villain is white. Lmao
