this manhwa was really worse than i expected first of all, what does an EAST ASIAN know about black people and the history of african americans??? i am asian myself and i can say with certainty that east asians are known for their utmost ignorance when it comes to black people, from appropriating hiphop culture, racist depictions in media, and obviously, as this shows, a lack of knowledge or understanding of nuance on topics of slavery.
second of all, the author genuinely decided to depict times of the CIVIL WAR. what the fuckkk i genuinely dont know how this author thought "oh i think im completely educated and unbiased in topics of SLAVERY IN AMERICA and i should make a manhwa of a slave and his master having sex duhhh
third it is so obvious that this author fantasizes about white saviors on the daily. wtf do u mean he gave a stack of cash to slaves and told them to go???? Where to bitch??????? into the wild of the south where they will literally be hung and killed if seen escaped? one of the ONLY WAYS that slaves could escape successfully is when a person in power helps them; if you wanna free slaves you cant just give them money like a nonchalant chaebol, you HAVE TO SMUGGLE THEM OUT AND PUT IN THE TIME AND EFFORT TO SAVE HUMAN LIVES. WTF.
addtionally, it is so apparent that the author does not find black people attractive. every black person in this story has no hair texture, straight nose, thin lips, and many are marginally light. i do understand that during this time period anyone who even slightly looked black was considered black, but clearly she doesnt know that and just doesnt know how to draw black people. the ML comes in on a horse, says "im your slave, master" while having silk pressed straight hair, a slight tan, straight nose, thin lips, and no actual ethnic features. IF YOU DONT LIKE BLACK PEOPLE AND ARENT ATTRACTED TO BLACK PEOPLE AND CANT DRAW BLACK PEOPLE WHY THE FUCK MAKE THIS MANHWA GODDDDD
