| 1 | When Hank installs his new water heater incorrectly and causes a minor gas leak, he and his dog are [[MistakenForRacist mistaken for racists]] after an African-American repairman called in to fix it (voiced by Creator/BernieMac) gets bitten by Ladybird. |
| 2 | ---- |
| 3 | !!Tropes: |
| 4 | * EurekaMoment: Ladybird attacking a Caucasian repairman is what finally ends the smear campaign against Hank. |
| 5 | * HopelessWithTech: Hank tries taking an online "are you racist" test to prove he isn't racist, but his lack of familiarity with computers result in him doing it incorrectly, and the result he ends up getting because of it doesn't help his MistakenForRacist reputation. |
| 6 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Peggy is more concerned about how Ladybird's behavior makes the family appear racist than the fact she's a danger to other people. Quite tellingly, she initially believes Hank in thinking the online test is just flawed... until the test declared ''she'' enjoyed the company of black people. From that moment on she hypes the test and claims it was legitimate all along, decrying Hank for having any doubt in it. |
| 7 | * MistakenForRacist: When Ladybird attacks a black repairman, everyone starts thinking she acted this way because Hank is racist. Doing poorly on an online "are you racist" test (because Hank is HopelessWithTech) doesn't help his reputation. In the end, it turns out that she actually acted this way because Hank hates repairmen in general, regardless of race, as a white repairman also gets attacked: this is because he feels that having to rely on one makes him seem incompetent despite his 20 years of experience with propane and the fact that he's been able to keep his house in top shape all on his own up until now. |
| 8 | * WithFriendsLikeThese: Everyone, even ''his wife and family'', immediately believes Hank is racist and treat him with disdain. |
