Sure, she's Chinese. But if we push on that way, the fact she draws a Chinese guy to look caucasian is offensive to asian people too. Though Manga/manhwa/manhua authors do it anyway because the audience likes it better and they know it'll be more popular with western readers. As a Chinese myself I've never seen an asian protagonist that actually looks like asian or 100% asian. They are always tall, big eyes, high nose, blue eyes, even blonde hair...
Now, when the author isn't asian, of course we're trashed and wrongly represented too (movies, animation...), with all the stereotypes, coupled with a funny ridiculous accent... Being caucasian isn't all nice either, racism towards white people also exist and mostly ignored when it happens (because the White, priviledged ones, don't have the right to complain...).
I'd like for you guys to understand that no ethnic group is spared from racism or stereotypes, and NO, not only black people know what's hell.
I hope that knowing how their work was (bad)welcomed by many of the readers who feel offended or shocked, the authors will produce a work with a better understanding of Africa and its people.
I'll finish with this case by saying that maybe it's time for black people to produce their own yaoi stories as well if they're not pleased with what they see? (Why always the East asians?).
It's true many italian don't see foreigneirs in a good light... but we have to say that not all people from the same country are the same, in america to there are so many people who are racist and even killed for it, you think we don't know... what do we have to do??? But we can't just point our pretty fingers and judge something without knowing if it is in fact like we see it, it's not fair, it's not fair for the authors, who maybe only wanted to joke, maybe he resulted offensive without meaning it... all i ask you is to wait a litle so we can get if it really is racist or not
The art is gorgeous...I don’t get why people are so mad tho? The mangaka tried to make a joke...a sad one...but a joke (=・ω・=)
