Yup. Every time I see some idiot referring to an ethnically Japanese character in a Japanese anime set in Japan as a "POC" I want to punch something

[(Anonymous)]

Do people actually do this?

[(Anonymous)]

Sadly.

The argument is usually that white people are the race in power globally so everyone in the world is still oppressed by them and POC if they're not white, which falls right off the edge of sjw logic and goes full circle back into asserting racial superiority

[(Anonymous)]

Oh for the love of...

Not just racial superiority, but cultural and national superiority, as well.

It kinda just goes to show that any movement and any ideology can be hijacked by bigots who are either trying to cover for themselves, sink deeper into their own denial, or both. And that's kind of sad.

As bad as that is, I think the time I saw somebody seriously argue that anime is "whitewashed" is even worse.

[(Anonymous)]

Anime as a whole is not whitewashed but it does do whitewashing of certain characters (The Legend of Earthsea, lightening of certain dark-skinned character like Anthy Himemiya from Utena in the TV series vs. the movie). As their colorism is from ancient times but their modern standard of beauty was also affected by the European women standard of beauty on some levels and may have sent their colorism into overdrive. Not to mention that their treatments of other races that isn't Asian was definitely colored by racist media imported from the West, that's why if they draw Black people, they tend to some draw the rare Black character something reminiscent to the Golliwogg and often adopt the Black criminal trope (it's very prevalent in hentai if there are any black men).
