Question: Why is Jynx considered racist in the show?

It's the extent people will go to in order to make a fuss. Jynx is just a Japanese character; there was no thought when it was released that it would seem to be a slap on black women.

But yet, some people like Carole Boston Weatherford exist, and see some offence in Jynx... sad, sad world we live in...
