Japan and the Black Man
Remember the old times when the Japanese didn't know any better and thought black people looked like this: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/e/ee/AdjutantBlack.jpg
Since there wasn't many black characters in Japan, they had to look towards outside infomation (which was how America portrayed the black man and during those time was a lot of segregation and discrimination) and drew them as big pink lips, extremely dark skin and other exaggerated features. Many black communities thought the Japanese were being racist, as in truth, they were just uneducated in that field. Thats like trying to make a white man draw a Native American after only seeing one of them. As many years passed, the japanese found out more about how black people actually looked and we now, in japanese entertainment, have people like this: http://dudekazoo.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/ff13-sazh-katzroy1.jpg and this: http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/clubs/3/64365m.jpg ahhh, what a long way they have come. |

Anyways, racial arguments are amazingly susceptible to flame wars, so I'm closing this. |
