A few asides from me:
*He didn't know what to say for these so I helped him. For the skin colour one, he was looking at me looking for physical similarities - it didn't occur to him that similarities could be something other than things he could see.
** Perhaps this was the phrasing of the question, but I don't think he really knows what a 'cartoon character' is. Racing cars aren't something that feature in his life in any way at all.
*** This is definitely a product of what he's learning at school! I don't recall him ever asking if I've even been to Israel.
