Ah, this question has caused much debate and controversy in the past, but with my knowledge, research and of course my opinionated theories, I shall prove that Marge is of Creole descent. Now, according to the always trusted Wikipedia, creole is defined as: Creole People (Creoles of Color) are of mixed (mainly) French, Spanish, African-American, and Native American heritage. I don't think that there is ANY debate that Marges maiden name, Bovier is French, right? Right. With that said, I am going to solely do the rest of my research based off Marge's physical appearance. Please note her rather curly hair. Now, I've watched the Simpsons religiously up until there 6 or 7th season, then I just got tired of it. But while most people don't think we have seen Marge's father, we have. Season 2 episode 12 we saw Clancy Bouvier. Not only is his hair also curly and course like his wifes Jacqueline and three daughters Patty, Selma and Marge but he even has more a "light skinned" brothers tan. You're probably wondering how do I know their hair is course or like sheep hair. Look at all the other characters like, Barney, Nelson,Milhouse, Ned Flanders and so on. What do they all have in common? Straight hair! The only time you see Marge with straight hair is when she "press" her hair. I know what you're thinking now. But what about Rod and Tod Flanders? They have curly hair. Well of course they do. White people have curly hair, but Rod and Tod has BIG curly hair, not well defined curly hair. Now, let's talk about what other Simpson characters have curly hair very similar to our creole characters. There's Carl : Homers black co-worker and drinking pal. There is Krusty the Klown who is Jewish and Jewish people do have a history of having curly hair. While Homer only has 3 strands of hair on that wonderful comb over, it appears as if he has straight hair. So in a cartoon world if you take a person with curly hair and a person with straight hair, their kids hair comes out looking like Bart, Lisa and Maggie. I mean seriously, do they even have hair or do they have spikey heads?! They are the ONLY characters on the show to have hair like that. Why is that? People have blue hair, straight, curly, black hair. But these kids are the only ones with spikey, yellow hair. Are they the only biracial kids in the town of Springfield? Who knows. My theory may seem a little extreme and silly, but you must admit there is some truth to this. If you have any comments to further prove my point, then please do so, but whatever you do, don't you dare judge me!
Dang it! I tried to research this case... Marge has two mayspace pages... one claims that she is Caucasian and the other claims that she is "Other." Here's a conspiracy theory... What if the creators of the Simpsons are against bi-racial couples and their procreation and therefore give the Simpson kids no hair, and worse, SPIKEY heads! Kind of like how back in the day, they deemed kids that were born with diseases tainted by their parents' sins...
ReplyDeleteYou have to take in consideration that when Simpsons were first created cartoons were pretty simple and basic, so the easier the drawing the better. Furthermore it gives them a very personalised look. I think that on the pilot episode they draw their hair/heads like that and eventually stick with it.
ReplyDeleteI think Marge is some kind of light skin black woman. If you haven't seen it already, there's a hilarious forum about her being black on the website thecoli.com Some of the people make some good points about her: it'a called "So we gon pretend that Marge Simpson wasn't a yellabone creole?" Here's the link http://www.thecoli.com/threads/so-we-gon-pretend-that-marge-simpson-wasnt-a-yellabone-creole.425185/
ReplyDeleteI feel like the fifth page user Taadow had some of the best evidence on thecoli post. Here's the link for that lol http://www.thecoli.com/threads/so-we-gon-pretend-that-marge-simpson-wasnt-a-yellabone-creole.425185/page-5
ReplyDeletethe 3 kids are FUCKING BLONDE
ReplyDeleteOtto Mann has curly hair and Moe Szyslak has curly hair too. We can see Moe with long hair in "SPRINGFIELD UP", episode 391, season 18. Moe´s mother is from Italy. Otto is similar to Saul Hudson, of Guns and Roses and Kirk Hammett, of Metallica.
