Katjaa & Kenny Seem Like an Unlikely Couple (no spoilers)
Kenny is Southern, racist, trailer trash (even dresses like it) while Katjaa is a European woman educated in the health & sciences. Seems unlikely they would end up together. Ken's wife should have been a stay at home mom with a Southern accent (like the St. Johns mama).

And then maybe I wouldn't have felt as bad when she kills herself.

"Oh, you are not sayin what I think your sayin..."
LOL
Anyways, people don't really have to be "compatible" to love each other. I think that's a pretty narrow view.
You needed to talk to her more. Kaatja was awesome.
On a side note, Kenny isn't racist. One off-kilter comment isn't enough to accuse him of that.
She looks for whatever guys can provide protection to her kids: it can be financial protection, or, like in the case of Kenny, devotion.
Plus, Kenny is a honest guy. She probably got tired of all those moronic self-calling doctors and went for a simpler honest devoted guy. She knows Kenny is stupid, and she doesn't care much. That's not what she is looking for.
Odd couples are everywhere (Look at myself and the "Urban" girl.
I will agree, though, that although opposites, I just can't see Christa and Omid working it out. Though, implied through the game, they do seem to have a decent relationship.
Urban people are not a race. Urban people describes those who live in a high density area such as a city. An urban population consists of many ethnic groups so it's unclear when you say "I've dated an 'urban' person."
It's implied, in the game (And I hope I read that scene right), that Kenny used "Urban" as a replacement for a person of African-American decent.
Just replace my "Urbans" with that. :P
Learn to quotation mark.
It's obviously so. Lee is only "Urban" to Kenny because he is black. He thinks he can pick locks because he's black. It doesn't make him a racist, though. It's just stereotypes.
It's the current moronic politically correct way to refer to black people who don't wear a suit and tie.
Thank you.
I just say "Black." No one I've met has been offended by it, yet. I just didn't want to start a flame war. TWD forums already have enough drama. :rolleyes:
FYI, black is not an offensive term. Arbitrarily calling someone urban has a more negative connotation IMO. That's probably why Lee took offense. Not necessarily that Kenny meant he was black but that he was from "the streets."
I don't see how that changes anything but yeah. He fits to that particular stereotype!
Lee said that in jest.
Kenny probably only thought that Lee was from the streets because he was black.
I think most "political correct" words for a certain skin color or race sounds way more racist than "black" or "white".
Glad we have a few of those around here.
I kinda looked at it like a half Joke.
He made a comment based on a stereotype Hoping it was true.
if he was racist, we already heard words like fuck, shit, bitch, damnit, and monkey balls, so im sure we would've heard the N word by now, or a hint at it
Suggesting they might know how to break a lock because they're black, is.
yeah, like saying to a computer geek " you're a geek, you can hack right?"
anyway i can pick a lock but thats because i am "internet"
There was? I didn't hear it.
Dear diary, today I discovered I was black...
Yeah Andy said "boy" which was a term used by slavemasters instead of the n word they used boy.
I was working on something
There are some unused voice files from episode 2 that say that Kenny met Katjaa in her new vet clinic when she was in her early 20s. He brought in a sick octopus that he caught on one of his fishing trips.
To be fair, those voice files also say that she's from Latvia, not Belgium.
he thought Lee was "urban" as in raised with city.
he was thinking of teens who pick locks when they are locked out the house (maybe).
Kenny is rural, that means he was raised outside cities.
lets see it from my perspective.
my user name is TheNNerdGamer so someone would say:
guy:"hey nerd, you know how to cheat in RESIDENT EVIL right?"
me:"no,why?"
guy:well you know cause your a "nerdgamer"
SAME THING
Larry also used that word a ton, too.
Oh, that. I didn't consider it racist, just him saying something. Then again, I was trying to think of an excuse as to why I was staring into the blood stained back room.
As for Kenny's "urban" remark, he probably IS using the word "urban" in place of black or African-American. He didn't mean to offend Lee, so it's more steryotyping than racism. If he hadn't apologized afterward, it probably would have been more racism than ignorance.
