i love to hate mark beaks. i think he says racist shit but i don't think he is racist inherently. i think he just suffers from a lack of worldliness. he's obviously a pastiche of a bunch of stereotypes of nepo babies and young rich millennials. i see a lot of kelly osbourne in him actually. he says dumb shit with or without malicious intent.

i grew up living in a small town in texas as one of the only mixed race people and one of the only asian people around. i've had to learn over the years that there's a line between white person who says ignorant racist things. and an actively hateful racist white person. mark beaks does not strike me as an actively hateful racist bird because he's a cartoon character (and like. cartoons are only as skin deep as like a haircut or a tattoo) and because he's just a flat out nasty person to be around in general.

see compared to someone like gyro, mark appears to be nice. he can certainly play nice with the interns in his debut episode where huey and dewey get jobs at waddle. however, when you dig beneath his feathers, you find a mile long mean streak. conversely, gyro appears to be a cunt, and he acts like a cunt - but he's shown to be deeply caring and passionate about his work. mark beaks just has an appetite for destruction. he wants glory but he doesn't want to work for recognition.
