Was the design for Mr. Po-Po an example of nip racism?
No.
This one was.
>>152219959
I didn't think he was human so nope.
>>152219995
actually he was a boss.
smartest guy who saw how pitiful the manlet whitie was and took matters into his own black hands. or at least tried to
>>152220052
>manlet whitie
Everyone in the show was Japanese.
>>152219959
>>152219995
It's not racist. That's what they look like.
>>152219959
That depiction of black people traces back through the heritage of western animation and things like the original Tin-Tin. Those were major influences on the anime industry.
>>152219959
>implying blackface isn't a legitimate form of art
>>152219959
For a moment I thought it was jinx but noticed the lip difference
>>152219995
Black wasn't racist, far from it. The lips are questionable, and even then, real life examples of them are very common, even with non-blacks and so on.
Ya japan is insanely racist
The 80s were a different time.
There was however a clearly racist caricature of a black person in the Buu saga. I dont know why Funimation dubbed his voice to speak black gibberish and how they got a way with it.
>>152220085
>red hair
>cigar
>fat
>evil
he was white. sorry you identify with him
There is literally nothing wrong with casual racism.

I need a link to this
>>152221689
Not racism when ¨minorities¨ do it
>>152221689
The only places like that are bathhouses in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. Most people even in Japan never even see them except for articles online

racism is used to describe races with power and using it to shit on minorities. So in America whites are racist but in japan a japanese would be the racist, etc.
>>152221689
>white people aren't even allowed to walk in to
what would happen if they did?
>>152221905
you'd be kicked out and have the police called on you
unintentionally racist, but in the end, still racist.
just a baaaad coincidence.
>>152221953
Do they have a no gaijin allowed sign?
>>152221899
Not in non-white countries.
They can't be racist no matter what.
>>152219995
I always just saw that as a typical Toriyama styling more so than offensive or ignorant.
>>152221970
except they are... Idk what you are trying to get at
This is a middle-eastern.
>>152221967
yes. No foreigners allowed, japanese only.
>>152221885
>>152222021
I'm not gay but...CUTE
>>152221899
protip: whites are the only race that cares about not being racist and therefore the word only applies to them
>>152220763
Is this supposed to be blackface? I thought she was trying to be gyaru.
>>152222022
What happens when that person is a Japanese citizen with Japanese parents?
>>152222164
all the homo
>>152222227
>Sjw logic that alienates a whole race because of their race
Racist
>>152219959
this one is racist. the man just wants to oppress us white men.
Blue popo is significantly more racist than original popo since popo wasn't a human to begin with
>>152220668
why did you use evil as a stereotype for whites
>>152219959
I'd imagine Toriyama didn't think too much of it, but Funimation certainly would. Thankfully, they decided to fix that simply by changing the way he talked, making him speak not in his original broken language, but a wiser, more eloquent method of articulation.
>>152222998
>thinking there is anything wrong with being racist
>le sjw meme
fuck off reddit

>only whites can be racist because they care about being racist

Not /pol/ but holy fuck
Haven't watched it in forever but in Latin America Mr Popo had a lulzy Arabian stereotypical accent.
>>152220000
Holy shit that get
Friendly reminder that white people can't be racist because racism is a crime and crime is for black people.
>>152221885
HOL UP
>>152224244
That doesn't seem very friendly
>>152219959
This >>152220185. That's just what happens when you reduce black people to their simplest expression visually. It becomes racist but only because most of us are instantly reminded of how this caricature was used in the past. I don't think nips have this cultural background. They were probably just inspired by western works, didn't realize how racist some of these were, and only kept the designs because they were good, distinctive, and memorable character designs.
>>152219959
No he was not , there are:
Green aliens (piccolo)
Pink talking pigs
Blue talking cats
White aliens (Freezer)
Pink monsters (Mayin Boo)
etc etc etc
the only racist epople are who changed MR popo skin color becouse THEY dont wanted black people in the NEW Shitty version of Dragon Ball
>>152219959
Well all know toriyama is stereotypical and not as smart and flexible as many would think he was There's nothing new about that.
>>152220554
And xenophobe with gaijins much like Americans are with Mexicans.
>>152221899
Newspeak at it's fucking finest. Racism has always been about discrimination against a person based on color. No fucking asterisks on that definition.
>>152224585
>Well all know toriyama is stereotypical and not as smart and flexible as many would think he was
You really need to stop debating anime with grade schoolers.
>>152224584
The world president was a talking dog lmao
>>152222021
No that's Gundam
>>152219959
When I first say popo i didn't think he was a black guy
I thought he was just some creature that could talk like some of the random animals that acted like humans
I didn't associate him as a human so maybe that's why a lot of people didn't think it was a black guy
>>152219959
I always just figured that in most instances, they weren't actually aware that big red lips and dark skin are scene as offensive caricatures outside of Japan. Or they just don't give a shit because it's just a drawing.
>>152219959
No, it's realistic
>>152224608
t-they are?
they would not welcome ashort hispanic grill? o-or even think she's ugly af?
>>152225192
probably think you're disgusting unless you could pass for okinawan desu senpai.
>>152225192
grills are welcome everywhere.
>>152219959
Yes.
>>152224584

Racism is a made up vague non concept made up like 60 years ago by the media.
It doesn't really exist.
So no.
>>152219995
Is Steve Harvey racist for looking like that?
>>152219959
Blackface is such a stupid thing to get butthurt over.
But yeah the nips love blackface
>>152222021
He's a master race ibadi khavarij warrior on a holy mission with the blessing of GUNDAM itself.
>>152222260
As usual, Maki went too far.
https://youtu.be/8TMX7pvzDQM
Right after this she explains that she was exploring whether guys like "tanned" girls and was trying to find the answer as a "soul singer". Suzune and Yuiko both get blackfaced as well talking about how their respective brothers like the hips on soul singers and being stepped on by their long legs.
Riko is not amused by any of this.
>>152219959
>>152219995
It's only blackface when whitey does it.
If Asians do it, it's all good.
>>152228318
Asians got fucked over by Americans, they can relate to black culture.
