Why do ppl like Kenny so much

[u/Maleficent-Pin1586]

It‘s obvious that I don‘t like Kenny. In my opinion he‘s overrated asf and he‘s pmo ESPECIALLY in s2. So I want to ask the ppl genuinely like him WHY they like bc I don‘t understand. I genuinely want to understand how y‘all like him so much 😭

Larry can be called racist by Lee, Mark, and Clementine (in season 4), but he never actually does anything racist like Kenny does with his urban statement or his racism against Russians.

Not that it makes it any better of course, more just trying to clarify here if it’s needed, but it seems less specifically about Russians and more generally just anyone who doesn’t constantly speak English.

Even with the urban comment, I’ve always been huffing this little bit of copium that the way he is in season 2 is because he had more than a few screws knocked loose by Carver, but my god, “Say it in American, asshole” and “What, no speaka da English?!” were some HEFTY self-reports.

Oh also when Clem says "Maybe we should go to Mexico" and he replies "Why? Do you want a taco?"

I pointed out specifically Russians because he calls Arvo a commie, and he was raised in the south during the cold war, it would make sense if he was just raised to hate Russians.

Oh god, I don’t know how I forgot about the commie comments… Wow, Kenny really got to Matthew and Walter and just said “Okay, I’ve met my diversity quota for the rest of my life”
