You will see in the movie the Isrealites instead of saying that they do not want to be slaves to Philistines this:
Jimmy Gourd (Isrealite): Um - do you guys have any fried chicken? I've got a real hankering for fried chicken.
I am horrified to see this in a children's movie. Especially one that is supposed to be teaching Bible lessons. It is wrong. Slaves did not ask for fried chicken.
I have banned VeggieTales from my house. I do NOT tolerate racial remarks.
Context is important. Being threatened slavery, and then asking if the people have fried chicken? This was not an unintentional remark.
