i went in for that last chapter thinking the guy was gonna be full indian but no they ALWA...

You think a ordinary Indian citizen is gonna know Japanese?

Japanese people are very xenophobic (also racist to a lesser extent) so it's easier for them to relate to a character that's half-japanese

There's that too but that applies to every country. If we tried the reverse isn't it xenophobic if we don't have Japanese characters in an Indian movie.

God, everythings racist in the eyes of representation.

Every country has xenophobic and racist people.
But not all countries are xenophobic and racist to the same extent. Plus the topic was Japan, please focus.

And OP didn't ask to have Indian people in every Japanese movie, so your "reverse" situation is out of topic.
They asked why people with darker skin/pocs other than east asians almost always are half-japanese rather than full pocs.

God, everything is a trigger in the eyes of racists

lol you're so full of shit "i wish japanese creators weren't so averse to writing fully poc characters" "SO YOU'RE SAYING EVERY SINGLE CREATOR AND EVERY SINGLE CREATION EVER IS RACIST FOR NOT HAVING AN INDIAN CHARACTER!?!?!?!?!?" your whataboutism doesn't even work here because that's not what was being discussed to begin with go talk like a republican somewhere else please

I shouldnt.... I shouldn't laugh....... Then why did you guys care for representation? Its just a character. Its not like there are no Indian characters in anime and manga, theyve been there for a long time. The whataboutism works sadly. I never meant every movie. I said it does not matter to people in other countries.... Like me and my others in the world. Its just a character not a social justice situation.

Also japan makes content for itself. It focuses for its own audiences. Anything we say here doesn't matter because whatever social situation you maybe in Japan stupidly enough is in a totally different spot.

Bruh. I'm Liberal. You didn't even understand why I even said that. Damn. I didn't wanna say this but I should prolly speak in American layman terms. I'm brown. I've experiences living in the middle east and my home country. Literally every country I know in Asia does not care. Racism and social justice that most English countries see as progressive is not the same to us. I won't deny we have issues but honestly it feels way better than how others in a particular side world is dealing with it.

Does even having a different opinion make you Republican...? Idk

that's good for you and i'm real happy for you that you feel that way but you're still failing to understand what i was saying to begin with. i wasn't even trying to bring up racism, not even once did i type that word in my original post, i was simply expressing disappointment that japanese works contain very few poc characters that aren't mixed. i wasn't making it a huge racial controversy, you're the only one here pretending that i was. can i not simply wish for more poc characters?

I think we both are hitting different points and that's fine. Im just annoyed out of my mind .
