Talk:The Brain

African-American?
Actually, the Brain is not African-American, and nor are his parents or relatives. They do however celebrate Kwanzaa, but that does not mean they're African-American. And for his mother Mrs. Powers, her pale complexion and natural blonde hair since the second half of Season 2, can prove she is obviously not African-American, but looks rather caucasian. In fact, the Brain and his parents actually sound quite caucasian, and they look more caucasian, and they have always been voiced by caucasian voiceovers. Saying that the Powerses are African-American is actually an opinion, not a fact. --FrancineFan3883, 17:39, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think whoever added that got it from "Arthur's Perfect Christmas." At Muffy's party, the Brain gives an example of someone making up a holiday using the phrase "My family celebrates Kwanzaa, a holiday made for African-Americans." But you are right, they may not be African American. --Muppetfan 12:39, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's highly unlikely for a caucasian to celebrate Kwanzaa, and some people in Africa actually take offense if it happens. Saying that a character is of certain origins is not an opinion or a fact, it`s a comment. And you do realize that George is Swedish (caucasian) but shown as brown? So Brain's mom having pale FUR shouldn't be relevant to this discussion. But anyways, a recent season 14 episode revealed that he has family in Senegal, so he is indeed African-American. 76.94.78.127 23:09, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
