      I think it primarily comes from American cartoon culture. Little mermaid had it in 1989 but I know ive seen it in others. Probably even Looney tunes

        I feel like we (Americans) are taught these stereotypes to prevent us from relating, and breaking away from the indoctrination Republicans have worked so hard on

          Jesus Christ, it comes from cartoons dude. That’s not something you were taught maliciously it’s just a sound somebody thought was funny 40 years ago. Not everything is a conspiracy against you.
