Yet you keep clicking on this thread and replying thus adding fuel to the fire. If the people who don't give a fuck just stop posting this thing will die like countless other threads.

I really have to thank Akira Toriyama, and all of the other famous manga artists out there who do this. As a cartoonist, I do not find these characteristics "racist" I find them a bit funny. It gives character, make a black person have fat white lips, make a white person a dumbass, make a muslim look like Osama Bin Laden, the Asians have the smallest eyes and huge buck teeth, it's just an artistic view I guess.

I've read a couple years ago about a lady taking action and banned a lot of this. It also caused Viz to edit out the lips for Popo, and apparently a Pokemon had a purple face and big white lips. That was even taken so far the Studio that makes Pokemon actually changed it in Japan. Atleast that's what I got out of what I read.

And Mr. Popo is a fat sambo with genie wear, that's it. That's about as bad as you get, sorry.
I think this ends the thread. It seems like we're going in circles about this stupid crap.
Tell me, how can you get any worse than that? If Popo had big, white teeth with a shirt that had "BLACK SLAVE SAMBO" on it?

Seriously, the only reason why people are defending this is because it was made by Akira Toriyama, and fanboys will defend anything. No other reason. I guarantee that if a design similar to Mr. Popo was made but by some white American kid, he'd get bashed to hell for it. And rightly so.

But, NO, IT'S MADE BY AKIRA TORIYAMA, THE FLAWLESS GOD OF EVERYTHING! HE CAN'T MEAN HARM, BECAUSE HIS HEART IS CLEAN AND PURE! And a lot of other bullshit that I could throw in there.

Wow, are you kidding? No one is even defending anything because "Toriyama is the flawless God of everything." If you really think it's all that bad just don't pay attention to anything Dragon Ball.

Exactly. In fact, I was watching that new Fantastic Four cartoon last night, and they had a villain who was a black man. He had huge, pale lips. And I could've sworn he was wearing a "wife-beater". (But I'm not entirely sure.)
