No one's surprised, just disgusted. Although I was pretty taken aback by the black character in a tree with a bone in his nose. I knew Dragonball was racist but that was benyod what I expected.

The only thing worse I've seen in anime or games was this:

Props to Japan for making a character named "Niqqer Jim" even more offensive.

It's not an excuse its just what happened.
Its was around that WII era where fascination with cartoons took off like that, the artist were heavily influenced by American cartoons, and thats the type of stuff they saw, and the generations learn from what they say so it could've stuck around.
in the beginning the anime characters didn't have any asian characteristics at all,
look at Astro Boy, that's at the beginning of Anime and its American comic influenced is evident
and right japanese people are racist, when they do depict a character clearly as asian its usually a chinese person with stereotypical characteristics

I still think it's a piss weak excuse. And the depiction of Jim the slave in that Tom Sawyer game is worse than any American blackface imagery I've ever seen. That thing doesn't even look remotely human and could easily pass for a monster in one of their Final Fantasy titles. Just look at those orange striped monster lips and those mutant pupil-less eyes :wtf: :what:.

All I'm trying to tell the level hatred and racism black people experience in America is unlike any other place in world or in history
I break down to you in a simple form

The world is a high school
white people are the cool kids and the black kids are the ones who get bullied and picked on
when the cool kid comes up with cruel nick names or draws funnier pictures of the bullied kid, then passing it around class
all the other kids (asians, arabs, hispanics) laugh with the joke. So now the whole school calls the bulled kid by the cruel nick name, because it all stemmed from the cool kid they all follow and look up to
you understand

Fair enough. I just don't feel they deserve a pass for it.

Today (and I do emphasize today) it's much easier to be black in America than black in South Africa though. You couldn't pay me enough to live there. Another story though of course...

The One Piece panel is a poor translation though. I saw the anime episode of that issue and he clearly said "Afro" (the hairstyle) everywhere where this translation says black. Oda the author has shown a level of decency in his depictions of black characters:

Can't forget number 1 and Vergo, Vergo's a brother, right? Usopp is suppose to be black or something. Odra draws a lot of gonks in general, so it wouldn't be too far fetched for him to thrown in some ugly black folk. Pirates aren't the prettiest people as far as I can tell.

I don't think Usopp is supposed black. His hair is a giveaway.

His father is definitely not a black character.
