Line 77:
**** Even if he had apologized, he wouldn't have meant it. His racist tendencies are still there, too. It would've colored their relationship, and put people in danger. (he almost died because he refused Starfire's help.) His help shouldn't be welcome.
*** He actually does try to "apologize" once he realizes that the Titans don't share his prejudices and are rather offended on Starfire's behalf; they're incredibly backhanded, and the closest he gets to acknowledging Starfire's value as a person is by claiming she [[You Are a Credit to Your Race|"must be one of the good [Tamaranians]"]]. Yeah, he's really learned a lesson here.
*** Let's see, he's spends the episode sending Starfire out to do the dangerous grunt work while calling her a troq to her face, despite the fact that she even demonstrates a willingness to sacraficesacrifice herself for the others. Near the end of the mission she even saves his life at great risk to herself, and his response? "Not bad - for a Troq." And of course the rest of the team calls him out on this and asks him to leave; even then, his attitude is one that suggests he's thinking "Ugh, Troq lovers...". Yeah, I don't think the Titans are being unreasonable here.
* Pakku from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' held sexist values for most of his life. When he was a teenager, his bigotry caused his fiancée Kanna <ref>Katara's future grandmother</ref> to leave him. After realizing this as an old man, he realizing that his ideas were wrong and starts to see women as equals. (For example, he trains Katara in combat waterbending, even though traditionally, female waterbenders are only allowed to use their powers for healing.) He even meets up with Kanna again, and after she realizes that he's changed, Kanna marries him, making him the grandfather of Sokka and Katara.
** Sokka is a bit sexist for the first few episodes, believing that women should [[Stay in the Kitchen]] and out of the fighting. After getting to know a group of female warriors firsthand and realizing their fighting capabilities, he realizes that his views were incorrect and learns to respect women and girls.
