Intersectional issues can co-exist, even if you think it's not racist it doesn't mean it's not. It literally was a caricature of a stereotypical black person. I am saying this as an Asian person, you can't disregard another person's struggle for the other. It's very odd of you to bring out racism against asian when this manhwa was made by Asian people who have poor understanding of the Black experience, community and culture. It is very insenstive for you to say that it's not that bad. You can't disregard other people's feelings because YOU think and have different understanding of it. Do not speak of something you do not remotely understand.
Speaking of you saying," do only black people have the right to speak their emotions?" Or whatever sentiment that was. Cyrus Carmack-Belton, was a 14 year old teenager shot and killed by a store Asian owner because they thaught he was stealing. They profiled him and shot him dead over a bottle of water they thought he was stealing. Whether YOU like it or not, some east Asians have racists outlooks or views towards black people AND it's not up to you to say it's right or wrong. It is absolutely abhorent for you to suddenly say," what about asians?" ONCE AGAIN, TWO THINGS CAN EXIST AT ONCE BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT ABOUT THE OTHER.
. Yes, Asians are very allowed to be upset regarding racism against us but that doesn't mean silencing other people's voices because you think yours isn't as loud as theirs. This is just plain rude and ignorant. I don't even live in the US, I live in an Asian country and never have been outside but I know enough not to open my mouth and make my struggle a competition.
Once again, do not speak of something you do not understand and most especially you do not speak for me or any other Asians regarding racism towards us. You're just showing how ignorant you are.
It so hilarious that you think just One messily use of the N word doesn’t matter. Do you know why any Racism involving black people is taken seriously because the little things do matter. If you stand for nothing you fall for anything. your racist you don’t think a SLUR used towards black people matter more than your silly little manhwa hmmmmmm because the authors wasn’t tryna promote racism he wanted to be apart of it you do too go on tell us what racism did you experience as an Asian being called “yellow” do you know why you don’t wanna be called a color BECAUSE ITS DEGRADING YOU THINK ITS DEGRADING YOURSELF but when it’s a black person it doesn’t matter. An Asian author was itching so bad in the back rooms to use the N-word they just had to write a segment of their story with a black person being racist to Asian NEWS FLASH you can’t fight RACISM WITH RACISM thats promoting! oh this little N just called me the N word let me give him a taste of his own medicine thats how you sound I just know you say N IRL it shows in your little speech Racism is everywhere and MINORITIES ARE RACIST TO EACH OTHER (your an example btw) but if you ignore it because it’s just ONE USE it’ll keep happening
Even the way the author DREW the black boy was racist COME ON now
I thought this webtoon had already been canceled, which is why I dropped it. OMG, this isn't racism.
I've been holding this in for a long time because I never understood why the chapter about racism suddenly disappeared. That's when I found out that the entire webtoon got canceled and no longer has an official English translation.
What I don't understand is why racism against Asians seems to be ignored, but anything involving Black people immediately becomes a huge issue. One of the characters was constantly mocked for being "yellow," yet people only focused on the part involving Black people. Racism against Asians is a real problem too.
I don't care if people disagree with me, but I don't think it's the author's fault. The story wasn't promoting racism against Black people. Why is it that only Black people are allowed to be upset about racism? Can't Asians be upset about racism too? Are Black people the only ones with feelings?
And what happened to freedom of expression? It feels like cancel culture has gone too far. One use of the N-word and suddenly people want the entire series canceled.
Honestly, I have a feeling that some people saw a single panel containing the N-word and started complaining without even reading the whole chapter. If they had actually looked at the context, they would have seen that the racism originally came from a Black character and was later directed back at them. The chapter was about racism as a whole, not about supporting it.
This is my own opinion as an Asian person who has personally experienced racism from people of other races
