This comic is now available in English! Cinebook confirmed that they delayed translating this adventure due to its caricatures of Chinese. www.cinebook.co.uk/lucky-luke-75-rin-tin-cans-inheritance-p-4403.html
Though Cinebook has translated "Spirou and Fantasio in New York" which also features Chinese stereotypes. I'd say the chinese from that Spirou comic are more offensive, since all of them are portrayed as evil criminals.
Well those stereotypes were wrong then and still are but pretending they didn’t exist is just as worst saying they never exist so preserve them would the best situation.
@@Melvinwacko That even stupidier to censur the Lucky Luke comics since the chiness are portayed has the victim of prejudice and racism from the cowboy! The design may be quaint but the story are still on actuallity.
Lucky Luke actually shows in one comic how some of the hard-working Asian immigrants got ridiculed and taken advantage of European immigrants, encouraging them to a life of crime. I believe it's this issue actually. I think this is a very strong message about society and how it should develop mechanisms to embrace different cultures and not alienate them.
I read Lucky Luke since I was little and I never noticed racist messages on it. The Chinese are colored yellow and the black have big lips, the native Americans have red skin (actually it's darker, the other people just call them red-skins) and the mexicans have darker skins and bigger lips. But also, the white Americans have huge square jaws and noses round as potatoes or very long. The Irish are gingers etc etc. I always found it very interesting that America, after the first civil war, was a puzzle of many different races. Yes, they are racist with each other, but at the end of the episode the one who is punished is the guy who did wrong, not the "non-white American". And the message is usually to respect people who get discriminated against and help them get equal treatment. Recently, a new issue has been published and it involves the KKK as villains. I haven't read it yet, but judging from the cover it feels like a natural evolution to the series thematically and not a revolution. Respect to all people of all colors and origins and keep reading good comics so the creators can keep making them.
Everyone is a steteotype in Lucky Luke, and the Chinese in this story are depicted as clever, hard-working, honest and STILL heavily discriminated against and exploited. If anything, this is one of the LL stories that does not shy away from depicting - and, more importantly, denoucing - racial discrimination .
Funny how the comic is actually quite sympathetic towards the Chinese immigrants. Of course, when they are designed like WWII propaganda caricatures, it's easy to overlook the message XD
Hey Jeffery, I was wondering where you get all of your Lucky Luke Instrumental music? It's really catchy and I've had no luck finding anything lately. Thanks!

Coincidence? I think *NOT!*

The Lucky Luke movie "Go West!" also seems to have been inspired by this story. It has a cameo by Chester and Averell making a fake gun out of soap.
I think the producers of Go West took some elements from other Lucky Luke comics such this one and the Daltons Redeem Themselves.

Its the Apu paradox; if everyone is a stereotype no one is
HOLY COW my fan art made it into the video 😃
Hope you don't mind I didn't ask permission. I knew you'd watch the video so thought you might enjoy the surprise :)
Thank you so much for that surprise this made my day

The brilliant cartoon-ized version of me (at the end of the video) was drawn by www.deviantart.com/superzachbros123

8:36 this should be the cover for Led Zeppelin‘s black dog
Who is the dalton @ 5:19 and what is he saying
Where can i watch the 1991 version of Rintincan's Inheritance a.k.a. Rantanplan's Inheritance online?
Terence Hill Lucky Luke
Hey Jeffery, I was wondering where you get all of your Lucky Luke Instrumental music? It's really catchy and I've had no luck finding anything lately. Thanks!
The music can be found on the website SoundCloud, uploaded by a user called Tightwad2
Thanks! I hope they release all three animated films of the series as well as the animated 1983 and 1991 series, in English.
I would say they should try doing movie adaptations instead, except those also tend to be weak. Daisy City especially is so repetitive
why is Lucky Luke called Lucky Luke?
Dominic Abbs because he is very lucky in the comics.
Even mister luke himself doesn't know why he got the name lucky
