[Mandarin Duck]

Nope not spinning it into that. I've never attributed popo to looking like a racist caricature

Are we really sitting here on a Tuesday afternoon saying Mr Popo doesn't look like a racist caricature of black people

How is that racist?
Clearly he's Japanese don't you see the rice cooker

See you had to make a thread for your circle jerk.
Popo isn't even a human. Hes a magical genie alien thing. There are actual black people in the show and they don't look like him.
But if you want to make Popo a black man because that's what you see in you're mind do what you want but I will have no part in this. It speaks more volumes about how you see black people and yourself than the racial context of the character

I'll play your game and say he's not a human.

But the character was at the very least inspired by negative caricatures of black Americans.

Yes or no?
You can't look at that character and tell me it wasn't inspired by a sambo.

And please explain this one to me.

@The_Computer

This is an actual black person since you wanna claim he's an alien and a genie.

Is this a representation of blacks you're okay with?

Look at the nose it's obviously a dog man therefore not human try again

I'm sorry, No amount of story telling, folklore, and symbolism will hide the fact that Mr Pop looks like some 1920s blackface racist caricature.

I love how anime fans, especially black anime fans love to play these games and mental gymnastics to defend shyt like this.

And I love anime nikka, I';m goddamn Capcom video game character for christs sake.

Why did they make mr Popo blue for DBZ Kai?

Surely more people couldn't have thought he resembled a sambo other than me?

I watch anime but that doesn't make me a delusional Stan enough to not say that a lot of animes representation of blacks is fukked up.
