"He doesn't look Asian enough."

Hah! I knew that someone was going to say that. I just knew it. I wonder if people who are trying to be "SJW enlightened" realize how racist they are. They want a stereotype not a character.


And I bet if you asked them,

"And how should he look?"

They'd respond, "You know, Asian."

"And how do Asians look like?"

"You know, like Chinese and Japanese."

"And how do Japanese look like?"

"You know,....ahhhh..."

And before you know it, you have made them admit that what they want is indeed a racist caricature.

[morieris]

They are all in the damn tag and it's really fucking bizarre what they say.

I saw the teaser on the big screen in front of Maleficent today, it's clear as day he's not white.

[(Anonymous)]

I saw the same trailer and this secret made me feel a bit racist because I didn't realize he was Asian? I spent the whole time thinking how much he looked like Hiccup and how Disney's animation wasn't really trying not to copy (and laughing at the fat... thing... that I thought was a robot but then it was squishy).

[kaijinscendre]

Also, doesn't Disney generally make eyes big to imply innocence and all that? Do they want him to look like Brock? WILL THAT BE ASIAN ENOUGH FOR THEM?

[inthecorner]

I saw some people going "They made the kid from Up look "asian", why couldn't they do the same here???" Yeah, because all asians look the same.

[(Anonymous)]

It's interesting, but as an Asian person, I would say that they could actually make him look more "Asian" without him becoming a caricature.
The only reason for this is that most people watching this movie will just assume he's white. But this is just one opinion

[(Anonymous)]

And how would you make him look more "Asian?"

[(Anonymous)]

DA
I dunno, you change the skin color and the eyes too much, you run the risk of sliding into caricature territory, but he really does look like Generic White Character here. Maybe it's time to recognize the rest of Asia? Like the brown side?

[(Anonymous)]

he's japanese and they're generally pale? what is this comment.

[(Anonymous)]

A lamentation that Asian characters are always Chinese or Japanese? I don't know the canon so I didn't know his background, didn't see any reason he couldn't have been some other kind of Asian from the start.

[(Anonymous)]

...There are brown Japanese people.

[(Anonymous)]

But this character is supposed to be of Japanese heritage. (His name is Hiro Hamada.) Japanese are not exactly darker like say Filipinos or Cambodians.

[(Anonymous)]

So how about we have some Filipinos and Cambodians and Malaysians and Rajasthanis for a damn change. Oh, right, we're too brown and not cool.

[(Anonymous)]

If you gave him darker skin he'd just look like a darker skinned white kid you moron

[(Anonymous)]

He looks like a white now, so what's your point?
White folk do have this tendency to NOT recognize lower levels of melanin in people's skin, I notice. Always thinking it's just a tan, they're really white under it, until it approaches real cocoa and chocolate levels and can't be denied anymore.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm Asian too, and I agree. The character looks way more Caucasian than Asian to me, or like he's half. I kind of feel like people in this thread are implying that non-Caucasian features are caricature-like, which isn't true. His eyes could maybe be more almond shaped?

[(Anonymous)]

same anon
Looking again, maybe it's the eyebrows and the lower half of the face? I don't know, but that kids just doesn't look that Asian to me. :(

[(Anonymous)]

How do Asians look to you? Speaking as an Asian (who is often mistaken for white, when in the US), I am really interested in what your answer would be!

To me, a Japanese name and black hair seems sufficient, but maybe YOU think all Asians have slanted eyes even in animated movies where eyes are systematically rounded and magnified for all young characters. But why would you feel he is being white washed? Or are you saying that all Asian have bushy eyebrows?

I never noticed Asians or any other race for that matter to have any particular difference when it comes to eyebrows or chins (noses, hair and skin color may, and I notice you carefully avoid mentioning either of these contentious traits), but not chins or eyebrows? Not really: I mean, I only lived in three different continents, but what do I know, right?

Because if that is the case, thank you so much for your condescension and please get out of my corner, I don't want someone like you in it. If not, please clarify your point, maybe I misunderstood you?

Since you sound quite knowledgeable on racial physical characteristics and not at all prejudiced, please do speak up, I am all agog! :D

[(Anonymous)]

DA
Name and hair color would do it for me too, but seriously, given that pic with no context whatsoever, he really does look like a generic white-default male character.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, this is what I'm talking about. Maybe his eyes could be a bit more almond shaped? Many Asian people have eyes like this including me. This is a lot different from having eyes being depicted as slanted lines. Because looking at this character, I would never have guessed that he was supposed to be Asian.

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt
I also dislike the slanted eyes depiction, because Asian eyes can be even larger than Caucasian eyes, but the shape of Asian eyes is still different from Caucasian ones. I honestly would say that I don't look like that kid.

[(Anonymous)]

"Asian" isn't one monolithic ethnicity, though. I think that's part of the issue. I mean, say he doesn't look Japanese enough or something, but don't imply that all people of Asian decent look alike.

[(Anonymous)]

That's true, but no one is arguing that "Asian" is one monolithic ethnicity, so why even bother bringing that up? This is more about having an Asian character in a Disney movie that kind of looks Caucasian. I mean, I don't have a problem with the character, but I can see why other people would.

[(Anonymous)]

Is it really that much of an insult to not look like a white person? He looks like Hiccup with black hair. They could have made him look more japanese without turning him into a WWII propaganda poster. You know? It can be done.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh gosh, he looks so much like my brother when we were younger! We're half German and half Han-Chinese, and we have that same in between not-quite-yellow-not-quite-olive skin undertone.

Oh man this pleases me so much, I don't even tend to think of a chance at representation seeing as how we're the wrong kind of mix. :D
