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

The Japanese are more racist than us, and that's saying something.

thats a pretty gross generalisation about almost 50million people, and has some pretty orientalist undertones.

Uhh yeah its a generalization. How is it orientalist...?

hivemind bullshit, redscare, one nation under an emperor, a mass of people with one thought.

try not to generalise, and do not speculate on things you do not have a grounded understanding in, you're inadvertently contributing to hatred and biogtry.
