So we have a Japanese man, who looks like a stereotypical Asian.
He decides to create an epic story, so there must be a hero and a villain.
The hero is Goku and the villain is Frieza
The saiyan race are almost annihilated and taken as slaves by Frieza (black)
The saiyan race are said to be apes with unrivaled combat prowess (warriors) and have hair that always sticks up (black)
The saiyans look like stereotypical whites, and when they power up for battle they turn into blonde hair green eyed aryans/cacs.
Now, the villain Frieza looks like a stereotypical asian (short, thin eyes, stubby nose), however he is shown to be of white complexion and actually has features of a monkey.
Compare Goku vs Frieza and tell me which looks more asian and which looks more white
My point is this... I think the creator of this manga had extremely low self esteem issues with race, and sought influences from groups around the world.
For example, the origins of saiyans and their representation are very similiar to black folk. However their presentation of strength (blonde hair green eyes) is similiar to whites. But then he makes the ultimate villain look like his people, and not only that, but have them looking LIKE ACTUAL MONKEYS.
Instead of making his people the heroes, he instead made them the villains.
Also i dont believe the bs of him not meaning for the characters to be blonde, and it just saving ink. Was the green eyes saving ink as well?
Now that I think about it, Naruto is the same as well. That emo kid is supposed to be asian, and Naruto white. The whole history of the asians is fukked up though (they are cursed)
I think when it comes to c00nery, Japanese folk might actually take the cake
We're just so used to them sucking white dikk that we tend to overlook it.
Have any of y'all caught this or is it just me? I'd love to pick apart his brain to figure out what his influences where in the creation of the characters.
