I don\\\'t want to delete the Harold Macdougal entry for \\\"The Scrappy\\\", but I never really thought of him as promoting (or even poking fun at) racism. Seems to me that he\\\'s just another way of reinforcing the CrapsackWorld of RDR (\\\"this world is so bad, the only excuse for a \\\"man of science\\\" is a hopelessly bigoted and unscientific cocaine addict!\\\"). What humorous qualities he does have usually come from his constant CriticalResearchFailure regarding \\\"the savages\\\", i.e., his astonished statement that the blood of \\\"the white man\\\" and \\\"the savage\\\" look exactly the same under a microscope.
In addition, R* doesn\\\'t just \\\'\\\'say\\\'\\\' he\\\'s wrong, they go to great lengths to \\\'\\\'prove\\\'\\\' he\\\'s wrong. The native characters are portrayed in a relatively sympathetic fashion. Even when they\\\'re just {{mooks}}, they seem more like innocent people deceived by Dutch or others, or else {{Proud Warrior Race Guy}}s fighting the wrong war.
