Wasn't the source material pretty racist anyway?

[(Anonymous)]

So? How is that an excuse for cutting down the number of Asian characters when Asians are already grossly underrepresented in the media?

[comradesmiler]

What about latinos and african americans?

[(Anonymous)]

Compared to Asians? Yeah.

[(Anonymous)]

Latinos are underrepresented.

African Americans are overrrepresented. Males definitely are. Females (as a percentage of female characters) are as well -- although in total they're underrepresented because women in general are. At least if you go by US population statistics.

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't seen this yet. Did they actually make the Ainu guy white?

(Also is the black guy American? I thought they were all from Japan.)

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah the Ainu guy is white.

[(Anonymous)]

To be fair, Ainu as a race was not "East Asian" - they were completely distinct, in fact, some scholars suggest they were more "white". Past tense used because today most Ainu are mixed so do look pretty East Asian.

Can't speak for black people, but while latin american representation is nice, it's not when it comes at the expense of another minority.

[(Anonymous)]

The comic is about Japanese characters and takes place in Japan. Japanese people aren't a minority in their own country, so the characters don't count as minority representation except for the Ainu. And I assure you Japanese people don't give a flying fuck about representation in foreign media. Nobody is losing here.

[(Anonymous)]

Speak for yourself.

[gabzillaz]

But the movie doesn't take place in Japan, it takes place in a fictional place. Just like Frozen. Disney felt the need to diversify this movie but not their previous ones, why is that?

Besides, while japanese people are not a minority in Japan, they are a minority when it comes to Disney animated films in particular and Hollywood in general.

[morieris]

If we had enough representation across the board, this wouldn't be an issue. Don't get me wrong, I agree with you, it's just something people seem to be missing.
