Don't you love when they pull that shit lol
it’s honestly so fucking hilarious like they’re allergic to drawing brown and black characters or something. every chapter i got more and more confused like atp we might as well be in russia or germany
Nah fr, it gets to a point where it's just pathetic - like is your colorism so strong that you can't even fathom the thought of accurately representing the country you're supposed to be depicting? I try to avoid manga or manhwa set in the states because it's usually just an excuse to draw an unrealistic amount of blonde-haired blue-eyed people
the worst is when it doesn’t start in the states but somehow ends up there and you’re in too deep to drop it. i read chinese novels as well and the overwhelming amount of blonde hair blue eyes i see whenever the states is even remotely mentioned is insane. like damn even if they’re obssessed with depicting yt people, there’s gingers and brunettes too hell they even have a plethora of eye colors
The way they put the *idea* of white people on a pedestal is so sad :( (I say the idea because it's like you said, they're not even representing the white people you would actually see in the states.) Anyways, this has genuinely been cathartic. Most of the time when I point out shit like this people either don't agree (because they're white or Asian, so they've never noticed), or they think I'm overreacting
that part! it’s really interesting how asian culture really sees americans as either blonde hair blue eyed white people or black “hip hop” rappers. there’s really no in between.
but yeah, it’s very cathartic because usually no one mentions these things so it makes me feel like you said, overreacting
mama was in america for over 10 chapters and the one poc character was the tsa agent lmfao— anyway, it was way better than i expected
