8 Bizarre Conspiracy Theories About Famous TV Shows

3. The Smurfs Is About White Supremacy

All right, I'll cut straight to the chase on this one. First, their attire: The Smurfs all wear white hoods, with Papa Smurf wearing a red hood similar in colour to the hoods worn by the Grand Wizards of the KKK.

In one scene, they salute Papa Smurf in a very similar fashion to how the Nazis saluted Hitler. Not only that, but the antagonist of the show, Gargamel, has a large nose (referencing anti-Semitic stereotyping) and literally wants to capture enough Smurfs so that he can create a potion to turn things into gold.

Also, in one particular comic strip titled The Black Smurfs, the Smurfs come down with a sickness that yes...literally turns them black. This renders the Smurfs incredibly stupid and only able to grunt.

I'll let you be the judge.
