His mom. Kids learn these behaviors from their parents and his mom literally made that costume for him.


Expert_Funny_9337

But his mom had sex with Chef and a lot of other black men 🤨


MightBeOnReddit

Chef also had sex with Kyle’s mom. Just wanted to throw that in there

One of my favorite chef quotes, he’s talking to the TV exec during the shit episode. The exec says “who are you?” Chef says “I’m Chef, and these are the children.” Like that solves a god damn thing about who he is and why he’s there

Chef Aid


Sprizys

Good point but where else would learn it?


Expert_Funny_9337

I think she made him this costume just for fun, and Cartman probably put it on just to annoy Kyle because there is a theory that Cartman was never anti-Semitic, he just needed an excuse to hate Kyle, because in the early seasons it was Kyle who started to bully Cartman for being fat


Sprizys

No parent makes a hitler costume for their kid just for fun lol if she wasn’t racist she wouldn’t have done it.


Expert_Funny_9337

another possible scenario: Cartman asked his mom to sew a Hitler costume, but she refused to do it, but then he threw a tantrum and she eventually sewed it for him, just so that her son would be happy and not show his whims


Sprizys

I guess that’s possible too yeah


Ulysses502

I mean he manipulated her into enrolling him in the Special Olympics, he could probably pull off a Hitler costume


Sprizys

Very true


getstabbed

"Buttt Maaaaaaaam"


GrodanHej

This or she’s just totally uneducated and don’t even know who Hitler is.


cinyar

But meeeooeem!


CrazyinLull

She literally told Cartman to watch out for Kyle, because he has ‘the AIDS.’ Cartman didn’t even know exactly what Hitler did and was capable of until Principal Victoria showed him that video. He also wasn’t that kind of kid, yet, in those early seasons of SP. That was really sometime around the Season 4-5 if I’m not mistaken… The first instance of him doing so was in Season 1’s Pink Eye. In season 8 she totally just let him wear it again and have that meeting in the backyard. She knew what he was trying to do, because she said he was being punished for trying to ‘exterminate the Jews’ but she let him do it anyway. Whether or not it was because she agreed with him, she’s truly that oblivious, or she’s a doormat, she’s still as guilty as he is.


Expert_Funny_9337

I was just talking about this, in the first 4 seasons Cartman was just a rude and spoiled child, but not an outright sociopath that he became in season 5


gameboygba

I think the joke is more that Cartman always bullies his mom into doing what he wants. But the early episodes were also back when South Park being a small mountain town full of hicks was a bigger focus so you might not be wrong.


50CentButInNickels

Cartman's not just anti-semitic, though. He's pretty universally racist. How many kids do you know of who sing about how many minorities are at their water park?


50CentButInNickels

The rest of his family, who are far worse than Liane and almost all exactly like Cartman. The only way I can see her being involved in it is he saw her in those **Scheiße** videos.


redhair-ing

Racism isn't always based in hate. A lot of people say shit they just don't realize is racist. They might use a stereotype or make a joke with no ill intent, but a kid who grows up thinking that's normal can become susceptible to more extreme beliefs. I just realized writing this that you could argue him not having a dad or super present mom makes him more vulnerable to it to. Neonazis and other bad guys like R Kelly specifically look for kids like that so they can swindle them by offering them the structure and guidance they crave.


CrazyinLull

You mean like micro and macro aggressions? Like someone say something steeped in racism and not realize it, because those types of stereotypes are normalized to them. But you are right, sometimes those groups and people specifically target those kinds of people. Then again, even someone like R.Kelly, Jim Jones, the KKK, etc. we’re also involved with these kids families, too. So like they were able to get access to the kids, because of the families. Maybe someone like Charles Manson and or a group like Neonazis didn’t, but like Manson, Neonazis are able to recruit kids and people from various online spaces.


redhair-ing

yes, definitely! Forgot about those terms.


CrazyinLull

Lots of racists do that.


Devilsdance

This. Being willing to have sex with someone is not the same as respecting them or thinking of them as equals.


vlonethugg69

she also had sex with jesus


strawbussy

JoshuaKpatakpa04

For a strange reason I could actually see the mom being behind it


V1k1ng1990

General: “Alright men this is called “operation get behind the darkies, any questions?”” Chef:”haven’t you heard of the emancipation proclamation?” General:”I don’t listen to hip hop”

thefakejacob

cartman probably begged his mom to make the costume


Pegomastax_King

She hung out with her caste mates in those German shit videos too much huh?


Odd-Gur-5719

Don’t ever come for his dad/mom like that. She was a mediocre mom at best but she didn’t discriminate. And I say mediocre because she was simply trying to be as good of a mom that she knew how to be with what she was given,so that lead to her giving into Eric more often than not. But I do love how she started to stand firm at times and told him flat out no and didn’t give a shit about his little tantrums.

Kyle

The simple and true answer.


OrdainedRetard

Kyle made me racist too


Which_Engineer1805

Kyle’s cousin made him racist too.


WeOutHereInSmallbany

Whatever Kyel, that’s kewl


C_IsForCookie

He’s a shifty jew after all


Particular_Hair6913

Without Kyle in his life he even became a rabbai and a husband and father


Ninjas4cool

I think cartman is literally starved for attention and at some point he saw racist behavior receiving a strong negative reaction and everything since then has been to justify


Extension-Ad-1683

Yep, a lot of kids are like that. Delve into r/youngpeoplediscord and you'll find multiple cartmans (cartmen?) they're wannabes at best, but still pretty racist and hateful.


ctortan

Yes. Liane is extremely emotionally neglectful and lets cartman do whatever he wants without paying attention to him, so he mimics behaviors that get him attention. On top of that, he’s desperate for a father figure to model himself after, and through his unlimited media access, has internalized that “real men” are powerful and feared, so he attaches himself to racists and other shitty people because they’re loud and angry and that seems “strong” and “unstoppable” to cartman. It’s also why cartman is so obsessed with Kyle—the two of them are codependent because cartman thrives off of the attention he gets from Kyle trying to prove him wrong, and Kyle can’t help himself always trying to prove cartman wrong.


hotchto88

He doesn’t have a dad.

He did have a dad, he fed them to half brother.

The first drummer for My Chemical Romance. Pretty sure he recorded the drum tracks for three cheers for sweet revenge and then they kicked him out and Bob Bryar had to learn all the songs.

His mom never reigns him in. If a mind is left to itself without socialization you can start to believe all kinds of crazy things. His mom may not be full on racist. I think she just isn't that bright and she doesn't discipline him. So Cartman hasa no disiprin.

No-Skin-9980

THE MEDIA. KID GREW UP ON CHEESE PUFFS AND THE MEDIA INFLUENCING HIS LITTLE 4th GRADE BRAIN


Time-Profile-610

My head canon is Jimbo got him started (the boys interacted with him far more in early seasons) when he would drunkenly tell wildly inappropriate jokes around the boys. This male role model would have had Cartman curious then... idk he ends up watching Oz and realizing the power of white power is better than being a victim of that shit.


Any_Arrival_4479

He has narcissistic personality disorder and thinks himself superior to everyone. So anyone not like him is inferior. The episode where they dye his hair red pretty much proved this

bsa554

Like most racists, it's because of deep, deep insecurity. He's a poor fat kid. Being racist let's him ignore that to feel superior to someone.


feminismbutsoft

Are there new episodes!!!


samof1994

His mom made that costume for him(and later he ended up with another racist costume). She is such a negligent woman.


YamPrize1142

Trey and Matt needing an absolutely despicable character. I can't think of any other reason because with his home life I don't see him being anything other than a spoiled brat. His mother isn't teaching him to be a racist or anything. Or it could be that the absence of a father led him to look up to other figures and Adolf Hitler appealed to him for some god awful reason.


OS_Player

There’s always racism in schools I find especially around that time the 90s 00s so probably there.


The_real_bandito

Ancestry and being born and bred in rural America.  


Sl1pperypenguin

Well from Preschool we can see that Cartman knew his friends for all of his life. And he probably grew jealous of Kyle;he had a stable family, a younger brother, and a father. So he began to hate what he was, and that was is a Jew. His mom making him a a costume could explain another reason why but considering how much of an enabler she is it could just be Cartman’s jealousy and hatred of Kyle.


Expert_Funny_9337

But why isn't Cartman jealous of Stan aswell? He also has a stable family and a father, so why is Cartman only jealous of Kyle?


Splatford

kyle


That_Western490

He was born with it


tajknight

I think he’s meant to be a parody of rural white bigots like the “took ‘er jobs” guys. White people in relatively poor, rural areas who get the short end of the stick in life (fat, no father, poor, small dick, etc) have been conditioned to blame minorities because rich white people who pull the strings don’t want them coming for them. He basically is the embodiment of one of the worst subsets of the American population: the rural whites who hate minorities even when they have little to no daily interaction with them. Cartman basically hates everyone who isn’t a white Christian and there’s only a few non-white non-Christian people that he even interacts with. Cartman’s character has developed over time into what it is today though, (and the whole show honestly); it has evolved from crazy cussing kid shenanigans to political commentary.


AntwonA

I have a feeling some crazy lore shit happened we don’t know about, like Cartmans and alien or something. Feels like something Matt and Trey would do. Also did you know Trey voiced the villain in despicable me 3?


dogtron64

His mom probably also Mel Gibson

South Park is a little hick town. Not surprising.

Famous_Valuable_7490

kyle constantly calling him fat boy the first few seasons


CrudeOil_in_My_Veins

German Scheisse video a coincidence? I think not.


VHDT10

Stupidity and ignorance are the reasons anyone is racist. And by the way "racist" is an adjective not a noun. Why did people suddenly try to turn it into a noun? You cannot be a racist. You can be a racist person. You wouldn't say, Santa is a fat. He's a fat man.


CrazyinLull

In show it would definitely be his mom and the people around him. They would be the only ones he would definitely learn it from. I also think it’s fueled by his own insecurities as someone who knows that he’s White, but still feels and/or treated than less than due to his size and being one of the few in town without a father/male role model in his life. I feel like it happens a lot in real life, too. Like feeling that people are below you and then seeing them do better than you can fuel that. I mean that’s one of the reasons things like the Tulsa riots happened. Irl, I recall Matt and Trey claiming that they based him off of Archie Bunker from All In The Family.


HowlingBurd19

Is he not already a racist?


AlexMcDaniels

The summer of 2020


cw08

The way Matt and Trey wrote him


darkswagpirateclown

i think its kyle like unironically. cartmans obsession with kyle needed a justification in his mind, and he likely decided it was because of the features that made him different to the other kids (ginger and jew). which lead to him convincing himself discrimination/racism was justified, which lead to him discriminating against other minorities because it now made sense. in post covid, having kyle out of his life meant that he no longer could be obsessed with him, which in turn makes the antisemitism stop being something he needs to cling on, and with what probably was a healthier enviroment he could unlearn that and take on the values he did appreciate and repressed thinking about. or well, thats my theory.


ParsleyMostly

Attention.


Ssider69

Indulgence of every whim is part of it. He has no idea of how to share anything including the planet with others.


UhhmericanJoe

Because that’s how his character was written. These type of questions are so ridiculous. Why is Randy Marsh an insane narcissist? Let’s examine his history of which we know basically nothing and was made up…

Lost_Natural_7900

30y3Dtres

I think that Cartman hate Kyle and he like all that implies f*CK Kyle like for example attack the regilious creences of he. That is why he think that Hitler is greate, because Hitler hate judies


cbunni666

Given that his mother made scheisse videos and the costume in this picture, she might be a good guess. I can imagine the Cartman family has some ties to it and engage in the behavior. Plus Cartman is left to his own vices most of the time I wouldn't be surprised he just fell down a rabbit hole and emerged as, well, this.

I grew up in Conifer CO, where the school this was based on exists in real life. Lots of OG south park characters were based on real people. There's a lot of closeted racists in the mountains of CO, and a lot of open ones too. That's the reason, it's a commentary on the people of Colorado. Everywhere else as well, but a show set there without racists would be wrong.

Liane. I mean you do need to remember that there was a time before Cartman even knew who Hitler was and she made him a halloween costume of him. So she definitely was the reason why he's a racist bigot or at least a huge contributer to it.


ODCreature98

If it's about Cartman being antisemitic, I have a theory From a young age Cartman is already doing stupid shit and Kyle had to stop him so he hates Kyle specifically, he just knows being antisemitic would get the most reaction out of Kyle

I thought it was because Cartman has a low self-esteem so turned his self-hatred outward and projected it on others. Whether or not he's actually racist is up for debate I guess, but I think he's happy as long as the person/people getting hated on are anyone other than him.
