I watched a Japanese video about the ~~awful~~ classic 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie since I was curious about how it was viewed from a Japanese perspective. Disney's involvement in the movie's production is mentioned at which point the author jokes that "if today's Disney was in charge, Mario would probably be made into a black guy"
I love how everyone's brains are being pickled by the same shitty American culture wars worldwide
The comments were also great
"Toad could work as a black person because his head kind of resembles an afro"
"Italians are already considered a minority in America so they wouldn't need to change him into a black man"
The best part about learning new languages is being able to read even more racist comments on the internet
I get the trope, but I wasn't talking about Asians, I'm talking about Japan specifically.
I didn't mean to minimize white racism though, my bad.
I didn't mean to go off at you specifically, sorry if I was harsh.
I hear the "Japanese are more racist" line a lot from Americans and like... Their cops aren't executing black people in the streets...
Don't jinx it
