Why did the anime mostly take away the aspect of racism from his character? It's a big part of his mini arc.

He's a black kid living in the 20s
>>
Japanese audiences don't care about American pre-civil rights racism.
Araki only cares because he's a Westaboo.
>>
>>156820373
Because rightfully no one gives a shit
>>
Yeah no one cares, it would have been distracting
>>
>>156820373
Calling him brown was already pretty racist. I mean, was it really necessary?

>Calling him brown was already pretty racist
How so?
>>
>>156820373
They already had that guy complaining about an animal stinking up the restaurant, and you don't really see much of Smokey after that.
>>
>>156821007
Brown is a fairly common last name.
>>
>>156820373
Why does he have straight hair?
>>
>>156821479
Why don't you?
>>
A lot of stuff got cut from the first two parts.
>>
>>156821007
That's not racist, dude.
>>
>>156820373
They cut out most of the mobster's racist ranting but still left enough in to get the scene across just fine.
>>
>>156821479
Dreadlocks weren't invented yet.
>>
>>156821007
Yeah and his lips are too big. That's pretty racist as well.
>>
isn't a black guy one of the main characters in one of the jojos?

there's even a fucking monkey with a stand
>>
>>156820373
Why does he have straight hair? Did he just conk it like Cab Calloway?
>>
>>156826005
Advol? He's a black Egyptian (yes they do exist, although they're a minority) of possible Nubian descent. Weird bantu knots.

The cop that shakes him down calls him black in the BD version. This is a change from the broadcast edition that was not corrected in the official subs. Joseph also calls the cop a yankee instead of a pig (as in fat, not a cop). Episode 10 is the only one that had changes like these.
>>
>>156821007
Making him black was pretty racist as well, I mean, being black is offensive in and on itself, right?
>>
>>156826732
>Being black is racist
The circle is complete.
>>
>>156826732
Blacks are pretty offensive.
I'd be offended if I was black too.
>>
>>156820373
I found it amusing how the Stardust Crusaders anime added a scene showing he had also become Mayor of New York. It's extremely rare for someone to be mayor of 2 different places in their lifetime.
