In "Norman's Pitfall" Norman has a defibrillator and oxygen mask used on him when he falls down the mine shaft.

A minority character was initially voiced by a white actor but has since been recast. However, the show has been controversial for its use of “fireman” instead of “firefighter” and Sam has been banned as a mascot of firefighters because of the show lacking diversity.

Dilys makes a few xenophobic comments in the classic series, but they are portrayed as a part of her contemptible personality. No other characters spew xenophobia.
