‘Kung Fu Cavemen’ isn’t racist — just the victim of moral panic by a self-righteous few

First they came for Seuss. Then, Ook and Gluk. The Cultural Revolution in our midst.

It’s a story about two cavemen buddies — one black, one white — traveling through time and space to fight an evil corporation stealing natural resources from their hometown of Caveland, Ohio. Along the way, they meet Master Wong, who teaches them Kung fu and imparts nuggets of Chinese philosophy, knowledge and training that they eventually use to defeat their nemesis and save their village. In a world that values cultural pluralism and inclusivity, “The Adventures of Ook and Gluk: King-Fu Cavemen From the Future” should be widely celebrated and beloved. Indeed, the 2010 children’s graphic novel spent 33 weeks on the New York Times best-sellers list. But today, cancel culture has come for the scalps of Ook and Gluk — for apparently “perpetuating passive racism.”
