RE: Thought Bubble Thursdays #18 - Immortal Dragon Falls Off Wagon
Phantom! Oh man! I collected so many newspaper clippings just to piece together the larger arc they're trying to tell. It was published in short strips in newspapers here.
That's the thing though, it's like they're calling for a reversal. The series wasn't whitewashed because it was white in the first place. Sure, one could argue that the comics itself was whitewashed, but now I don't know why they haven't realized their reverse racism is actually hurting the cause more than it's helping it.
What, just because someone is "Asian" and by Asian I mean they're literally bracketing Indians, Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, Indonesians, etc into one category, they should know how to Kung Fu? That's ridiculous! I really hate how they're arguing that.
There were comics in the papers here too. I didn't read them religiously, it was kind of a thing to do in the morning or afternoon if I wasn't watching cartoons before and after school, and I knew there were arcs and I even wondered how people kept track of the arcs but 16-17yo me was too dumb to think about collecting them and just assumed people had good memories for things like this XD
Racism is just racism regardless of which way it's going. I remember there being issues way back when with this person who was pretty convinced that one couldn't be racist against white people and therefore all racist behaviour against white people was perfectly fine and not racist but if a white person looked at a non-white person wrongly RACISM. Could not drill sense into them and basically telling them they were being racst meant you were racist (though after hearing about this particular drama for a while I'm pretty sure if you had said anything at all that wasn't 100% agreeing with every piece of crap that came out of this person meant you were racist XD).
And I meant I'm not Chinese, but I am learning kung fu, but when you're talking to some people who go really extreme with this kind of thing that counts as "co-opting someone else's culture", which is where I would get in trouble XD
But yes I think it's kinda dumb.
