The queue hairstyle was imposed on the Han Chinese males by the ruling Qing (Manchu) Dynasty oppressors and was one of the many reasons for the rebel motto “Overthrow the Qing and Restore the Ming.”
I didn’t see anything racist in this at all. Maybe I am just not as PC Liberal, & I wasn’t looking deep enough? I took it as the laundry guy knowing Rodney, & his using a clean white sheet ready to indicate surrender, as Rodney is well known to do.
For those PC folks who are always looking for something to offended by:As Rodney having a very large nose & is portrayed as being stupid & a coward, should those with unusually large noses be very upset also? When & where does the PC BS end?
Forgot to mention: Short people should be offended by how the King is portrayed, & heavyset women should be offended by how the Wizards wife is portrayed. I am sure I can find quite a few more to complain about here, & at many other comic strips, given enough time.

The last two strips have featured racist stereotypes. Whoever is selecting these should be replaced!

Think of it as a glimpse into history. What was then, and how we’ve evolved.

Get over it, you can only be offended if you choose to be offended.
