It seems to be in reverse for Leela's family/mutants in general, as her parents are called Turanga Morris and Turanga Munda, so I guess her first name is Leela.

Some cultures put the family name first. Morris and Munda's letterbox has "Turanga" on it, so it's definitely the last name.
yea thats what i thought it just confused me when the would annouce her name and say turanga leela

I can't believe this is still an issue.
Turanga is Leela's surname and family name, but technically it is also a first name. Same applies to Leela's parents, Morris and Munda. In many Eastern cultures, this is commonplace. If you remember watching Disney's "Mulan", Mulan would answer to "Hua Mulan" to the matchmaker. Later, when the village was calling each family for the draft, the assistant called for the "Hua family".

Ah but what is Europe but an area arbitrarily divided from Asia by an imaginary line?
Most of the other continents have the decency to have relatively clear boundaries between them, but noooo, Europe and Asia have to pretend that they're two totally distinct continents.

Beacause we're europe and the mid east is still in between (which also makes sure we are connected to africa)

OK, we just went from what defines a continent to insulting a specific nation for no reason.
Not making yourself look good when you do stuff like that, Hein.

I COULD be a mean person and bring up the stereotypical Hein, known for being sexist and racist without any real understanding and appreciation for people unlike himself.... Of course I am NOT a mean person, and I am much too polite to say such a thing. Don't even know why such a bad, mean-spirited thought crossed my mind even for a second.... It's OK because I used smilies and the word "stereotypical".

Steriotypes can be good and bad right? I mean, if my counrty wasn't co close to germany I'd still be thinking everybody was wearing lederhosen. As well as for Dutch people I've heard some things to xD American steriotypes to me are more really rich or really poor people, oil, cars and mcdonalds/burger king and stuff(It's just what media makes it )
