For some time now, I've been defending Lady, saying she's overhated. This time, I'm going to defend a locomotive who's been overhated since her announcement, and has been hated for some of the worst reasons you could ever imagine.

Yep. I'm defending Nia the Orange Engine. I have nothing against this locomotive. I felt sorry for her when Ace made Thomas betray her, but dear god is her hatedom shocking!

Here are some things Nia haters would say:

BAWW! Y NEEUH RIPLAIS EDWOOD?!?!?!?
This is the most common reason I see when it comes to hating Nia, all because she replaced Edward in the "Steam Team". Okay, just because Edward isn't in Tidmouth Sheds anymore doesn't mean he's gone from the series.

People even hate Rebecca for a similar reason regarding Henry.

UGH! She's orange!!!
Here's another ridiculous reason to hate Nia. Some hate her because she's orange. She might remind them of Billy the Orange Engine, who always called Thomas a big bossy boiler.

At least Nia is kinder than Billy ever was!

If people just don't like Nia's livery, that's fine.

And here's the reason that takes the cake:

UGH! NEEUH IS A KENYAN ENJIN!!! WHY SHEE IGZIST?!?!?
Yep. Some people hate Nia because she's a Kenyan engine.

Look, I can take people hating Nia for replacing Edward, or not liking her livery, but I will never, repeat NEVER take anyone who hates Nia because she's Kenyan. Seriously! Hating Nia for being Kenyan is discrimination!!

If I remember correctly, some people on Twitter even attacked Yvonne Grundy (Nia's voice actress) just because she voices Nia!

By this logic of Nia being hated for being Kenyan, Ashima should be hated for being Indian, Hiro should be hated for being Japanese, Yong Bao should be hated for being Chinese, Ivan should be hated for being Russian, Frieda should be hated for being German, Gina should be hated for being Italian, Axel should be hated for being Belgian! Do any of you get where I'm going with this? Hating a character for their nationality is.... RACIST!!!!

Thomas and Friends belongs to Mattel.
