Archie Andrews: promiscuous racist.

On second thought, perhaps I won't let my children read Archie comics.
Mr. Weatherbee: Archie, do you serve crabs?
Archie: Sure, Mr. Weatherbee! We'll serve ANYBODY!

Not sure how appropriate it is for Archie to say "We'll serve ANYBODY!" while gesturing to a minority, but who am I to judge? Aw, let's face it, that's just plain wrong.

It gets better. This one's a gem.
The things you could get away with in the old days. If Archie Comics were to try that nowadays, they'd be the topic of a Dateline NBC exposé so hard hitting, that Riverdale's foundations would be shaken to the ground, Old Testament style.
