Useful hints for “”The Little Rascals” assent” Crossword Clue
Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼“OTAY” was an assent used by The Little Rascals’s Buckwheat. The character, along with the other Black characters in this series (and in most other films of that era), were portrayed using the demeaning, Jim Crow-era standards of the time. While it makes for useful (note that I didn’t say good) crossword fill, primarily because of the alternating vowel and consonant pattern, I think it’s an unfortunate placement in a crossword puzzle in 2020. Mr. Trudeau has changed his mind about it, and has decided not to include it in his puzzles in the future.
