- This also explains why the radical left believes meritocracy is whiteness - they view not being able to compete on a level playing field as an inherently black quality. No wonder Kanye says they've got a slave mentality.

#Blackface #DigitalBlackface #TrudeauBlackface
Now, they black faced white characters, proudly. Hehehe..
I get it, it is racist to do blackface unless they (African-American rights activists) do it
Yeah this is stupid
the implication may come across better if instead of calling it black face, calling it "black washing".
spawnof200 nah it has a stronger stance when being preferred to as black face
@Trash Person Now being black or gay is somehow a personality that comes with specific issues that can't be forgotten for some reason.
Kinda like a black person being attacked by other black people for not "talking black enough"
How dare that guy integrate and become part of the dominant culture instead of being a hateful racist like the rest of us?
My mans Eli has people tell him he "talk white" just cuz he know how to speak proper without a thick ass accent.
Thats happened to me before lol. She thought I was a white male because I wasn't using black emojis like it'd be the end of the world if she didn't.
More or less, yeah. I like to think I do well for myself, but I'm just myself and realize I'm going 'what' when some of my extended family members talk to me in ebonics. An anomaly based on what I see around the place, it seems too.
Know that feel, lol.

how much you want to be that that person hasn't ever played a Pokémon game, and probably hasn't even watched the anime since "Got'a catch them all" was still the opening?
Let's not forget my man Brock being the MVP of PKMN Anime and the first gym leader of Kanto
@@Meikoloid2U true, but Brock was a womanizing looser that would make Jonny Bravo look chaste, I'm not surprised SJW types don't remember him for counting up their diversity roster.
*No one's going to mention Jinx?*
There is just no pleasing a race-hustler
Did everyone forget Shauna?
Ironically, gingers could qualify as a minority, and one with a long history of oppression and stereotypes to boot.
But since it's a "white" minority it's fine.
😄😄😄I didn't think of that. It's true
I'm not justifying black/brown face just so yall know.
I get why they would like an original character to stay mostly the same, personal example: I was confused and a little made when they try to reskin old characters by making Riri Williams, the new Batgirl, She Hulk, and thought about new Superman being cast by Michael B Jordan, instead of just making new original stories. However, if the can do all of the above things to original characters in official comics and movies, why hate on a fun little fan art that makes them a shade lighter.
To me, art is objective. It's ment to simply be a for of expressing passion and ideas. So if a random Tumblr wants to draw a black character in pastels, it should be fine. If the woke want to reskin old characters, i like that, just make it awesome instead of changed for the sake of being a thematic mouth piece for their own f&^%ed up ideologies. Savvy?
There are more intersex people than redheads
yeah same how they changed the queen in that show that's about king henrey the wife killer, (I don't remember the names much) but they changed the ginger queen into a black woman, here is the thing this was supposed to be an accurate to history type of show why the fuck would you change history like that

Wow! That was the solution staring us in the face this whole time!

Usagi Tsukino is Japanese, the reason she has blonde hair is because she's the reincarnation of Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom, who had blonde hair.
So Serenity was white.
So Usagi is spiritually white.
Gotcha~
@@keystrix3704 I mean spiritually she's like an alien or some shit but whatever.
They're Japanese, they might as well be white. They're certainly white on the inside.
@@keystrix3704 Its not about being white, it's about Japanese people liking blonde hair.
@@SeruraRenge11 Of course the people of the moon weren't originally blonde. But a lot of that changed once the vikings learned to build rocket ships.
Telltale's Walking Dead season 1 could have been really good, but Lee didn't look like me, so it was awful
"Lee will remember that"...
As a white man, can confirm, I was completely unable to enjoy the story or emphasize with the protagonist at any point.
It is pretty pathetic when you hear people say that shit and they mean it lol. I loved The Walking Dead game and Lee is one of my favorite characters, but I guess where I'm a White guy.....
I liked that he started the game in the back of a cop car
the boondocks would resonate with me more if the freemans were white tbh
Remember the mid to late 2000s? We had
-Robert Downey Jr in blackface (Tropic Thunder)
-Terry Crews in white face (White Chicks)
-Eddie Murphy in brownface (Norbit)
And nobody cared. And it was wonderful.
Because it was not done mainly for power but for entertainment.
Oh people definitely cared about the whiteface in White Chicks, because it was the stuff of fucking nightmares.
Terry Crews (who is fucking BASED btw) wasn't white facing though. Those were Shawn and Marlon Wayans.
And I love that movie.

For the most part, I don't see dark skinned anime characters as black. Black people don't have hair, or eyes or noses like those. There's a whole subculture of japanese people who tan their skin called Ganguro. Bring Nessa into real life and she'd look a little like that.
@@ofthecaribbean
Japan is also home to a lot of different ethnicities. I believe there actually is a small group of darker skinned Japanese citizens, from the southern islands. A short google search gives conflicting results, but the general consensus is that the Japanese are not as ethnically similar as most other countries, and of those ethnicities, the southern most islands and people's seem to be the darker skinned of the nation.
@@someguy4384What's interesting about Japanese history is the modern Japanese ethnic group is actually a genetic mix of a pre-existing hunter-gatherer group and a farming population that migrated to the island. This could be why some Japanese people don't look stereotypically Japanese to us outsiders, because their genetics just happen to be way more in one direction, like the phenomenon of "white" north Indians and Pakistanis. They're "white" because the area had a large migration of Indo-Iranians at one point in history, and some individuals end up with way more expression of that DNA. And yeah, Japanese people from southern areas tend to have darker skin, and Okinawans are straight up considered their own ethnic group.
Always remember, it’s okay to be racist if it’s in the right direction, apparently.

angrybellsprout Punching up to what, an entire race? If you have Hollywood helping you, you’re not “punching up” any more. You’re just fucking around with sociopolitics.
@@angrybellsprout I wonder, has it ever occurred to you that Hollywood, the media, and the government are backing you up on your continued hunt for windmills to slay?
I'm sure it hasn't, because if it did, you'd realize that you're not really fighting the establishment if the establishment is helping you fight people. You're not really a revolutionary if the government is your friend. You're not fighting for justice if you perpetuate the same things you claim to be against, and you sure as shit aren't going to fix anything that way.
no no no, didn't you get the memo? they changed racisms definition, so you can't be racist to white people. so it's not racism problem solved...

In this instance, I can only think to side with China on this one. Call the folks who see this as a problem Baizuo, and let them stew in that term. They can't critique the Chinese according to intersectionality without being racist.
baizuo are whites... are these people doing baizuo face?
@@angrybellsprout It's more nuanced than that. Let me get my beanie.
Baizuo is a derogatory Chinese neologism and political epithet used to refer to Western left-wing ideologies.
Pretentiousness, hypocritical behavior and an overbearing sense of entitlement.
Baizuos are mostly characterized by their heavy use of political correctness and double standards to covertly advance their own material or emotional interests at the expense of others, while claiming otherwise from a self-assumed superior moral position. Some are truly non-malicious, but are too naive or lack the worldview to provide useful opinions or solutions to real societal problems.
Since most of these group is white （白）and left-(liberal) leaning（左）, and thus the name.
The Western Left is such a pain in the ass that the Chinese invented a slur for them.
What Leon doesn't count on is that "Asian Men" are doing well enough in the USA that they are around "White Men" levels on the Oppressive Stack. Which means they could be criticized for it. YMMV
Bah, the baizuos think Mongoloid Asians are basically whites now anyway.

Devo, important point on ghost in the shell:
all the sjws keep bringing up ghost in the shell as an example of whitewashing, but that's simply not true, even by their logic: the main character in the ghost in the shell anime was not meant to look like a Japanese woman. If you actually look at comparison Screenshots, you can see that the casting for the main character was really on point.
Its important, because I never watched the ghost in the shell anime, but neither have they. I know this information only because I looked up what the MC looks like. Their argument RELIES on the public not knowing the original anime, because it is at worst a lie and at best a parroted NPC talking point.
Crade Is that info on the wikia or something or is that just going by eye?
But, but, 'reverse racism' isn't a thing.
"colourism", really Dev? :P
colorism is the same kind of prejudice, but it's intra-group rather than inter-group. it does not merit a distinction from the other kind, and is just to excuse prejudice within black communities.

I really don't care about white face, I just hate double standards. And I would always take the more free approach when getting rid of the double standard. If a black girl or guy wants to use make up to make there cosplay more accurate. I would say that example is not even white face, it's just accurate.

There has NEVER been a better time to be a black American than right now. You're absolutely right, they're the ones with the priviledge. They can say, think, wear, and preach whatever they want and nobody will call them out on it. But it's still not enough. They want more and more and more.
Arguably, no. Perhaps the best time was right before the Great Society started, as this was a time where the black crime rate was decreasing, wealth was increasing, and the vast majority of black americans were being raised by both their mother and father. They still had to deal with racism, as this was the time of MLK, but still. Nowadays, most black americans don’t know their father and the crime rate is insane.
They say we're the racists when they're the ones using race as a talking point all the time.

*WHAT HAPPENED TO BROCK THEN?*
Why do people even take it at face value that nessa is black just because some clowns on Twitter said so because they wanted to claim a popular character as one of them? Black refers to a person of African origin specifically, not every dark skinned person is "black". Why can't nessa be south Asian? She more closely resembles an Indian woman than an African woman. Some Indians have really dark skin and they naturally have straight hair like nessa. Straight hair is not a natural trait of African people, they have to get their hair straightened. Isn't it more reasonable to make the least amount of assumptions? Which is more reasonable? She straightens her hair artificially, or that's just how it is naturally?
As the saying goes: If they didn't have double-think, they'd have no think at all.

yeah i'm black and never understood that growing up like my mom. she has a problem when some white people were messing with her and yes said white people were being racist towards her to make a long story short. my mom used to work as a qma and most of the places she went to had mostly white people in it and both the staff and the residents were being racist towards her when she was driving home telling me she was being transferred or something to a new nursing home she exclaimed that she was happy because that the new nursing home forgot the name
had no white people in it and that she wouldn't be going through racism. at the time when she told me this over the phone i couldn't call her out on it of course with me it takes me a long time to think of a come back or a way to word it properly. so finally after almost 3 months later i had came up with a perfect counter to her comment 3 months prior.
keep in mind i didn't actually tell her off but something i thought up.
(so you don't like it when the other white qma follow you around and accuses you of stealing something or whatever not because of their stupid opinion about you but because of their race right? well then if you feel that way about them then that must mean the way they feel about you is acceptable. think about it you judge them only off their race and get upset when it's a white person doing this knowing full well this scenario can and does happen with people of the same race)
(so if your only scared/upset that white people are looking down at you it's only fair to validate their fears am i right? i mean they don't know who you are never meet you so to them looking behind you purely because of your race is fair like how you hate them because of their race even though you've never stolen anything at any job you've worked at before but to keep it fair i validate both you and their opinions don't wanna look racist now right?)
now after typing all of this out kinda wish i would've told her that to her face, but yeah if your gonna be racist but at the exact same time don't like it when people are being racist to you then don't be a racist.
"Blackwashing is not even a thing." because we defined it that way.
I've never once looked at a character in anything and said "this character doesn't share my exact immutable traits, therefore I can't relate to them so I'm going to lose my mind and try to get people fired."
That bullshit is for losers.
Thanks for explain this.
It's very complex when diversity is forced.
Being an amateur writer, I know the limits when a subplot becomes political and isn't naturally wrapped.
My attempts to maintain diversity in my novels without falling into that low point are very high, especially when you put a race in a separate world (Western foreigner in Asian world is the one I am working on now).
I could consider myself progressive but I really hate the movements and the people that for some reason their thoughts are just as retrograde as the conservatives.
If in USA makes a tendency, my hopes to make a complex & excellent story can be killed by those fuckers.
PD: I'm not a english native speaker, so... feel free to hate the comment.
Sadly we live in a time when white people can't have their own characters and fantasy worlds. I could create a series about a character going into different worlds, some are multi racial, some are white only, some are black only, some are brown only and so on I wonder which worlds the far Left will complain about. I hate the idea of race swapping characters since it is racist and lacking originality but I think it's okay for cosplayers to dress as characters of any race cause it shows their love for the characters.
Every time I see "DBHURRR SCARLET JOHANSEN IS WHITEWASHING" I pop another blood vessel and get a little closer to death.
Yes, the full-body cyborg who's the only stereotypical anime character with impossible hair/eye colors in cast of distinctly Japanese-looking characters (and Batou,) and in some continuities just wears a generic off-the-shelf cyborg body HAS to be played by a Japanese actor.
I've never understood the concept, like never ever, that your protagonist needs to look like you for you to like them or relate to them.
They had no problem making a black woman green (Gamora) for Guardians of the Galaxy. I think you're right, it's just laziness they don't do it.

I know it happened long after this video (IIRC), but I will never forget what Just Some Guy said, something along the lines of "I'm black, but I don't talk with a black accent because I made it a point to speak with as correct a pronunciation as I could", I'll never forget it because it basically means that talking black would mean, to some extent, having a not very good pronunciation on average, and people getting mad for black people not talking black enough would pretty much mean "How dare you pronounce well", as if just because it's part of their identity to be bad at something would be prefered just because they hate the other group's identity... "Don't do that thing well, that's not part of who we are"... Completely self defeating
Punching up...
Gingers are probably one of the smallest demographics.
This whole 'blackwashing' thing is so blatantly done out of hate and spite I can't talk to people trying to defend it anymore. Anyone else that's tried to talk to those people knows exactly the responses they'll get. Sarcastic 'oh poor white man' or demeaning attribute the grievance to 'white fragility' or saying placing the actions of some white people in the past to the entire white population now. Make no mistake, the race of characters aren't being applauded for 'representation' like these people like to say. They're being applauded purely to stick it to white people, because those people are racist and too stupid to see Hollywood is just using them to line their pockets. Plain and simple.
I've never understood "cultural appropriation".
Most of the time people use it when people are appreciating culture, like in the kimono example.
Now if the person was squinting his eyes and talking and acting "like a Japanese person", that would be offensive. Why call it something else when we already have a word for it (racist).
It's all rather silly and takes away from the efforts of people who are actually trying to get closer to, and appreciate more, other cultures.
Yeah, apparently as a white person you are expected to respect and recognize other cultures but aren't actually allowed to participate in them.
I didn't play the Pokémon game with this Nessa, but I find it unlikely that it's supposed to be black character since most of Asia (and Japan especially) is rather ethnically homogeneous and for the most part the only foreigners depicted are ethnic Europeans. So it's much more likely that this Nessa was supposed to be a gyaru (a street style for women, part of which is tanning a lot).
I wonder how they'd react to Boris Karloff being famous for playing a Chinese man. Twice. and an Egyptian, and most notably, a green man.
Sometimes I wish certain social media lynch mobs could be punched through the internet.
Seriously how can these people say these things with a straight face. Thoughts do not have a skin so how can they have a skin color
Well this sure did come full-circle didn't it
I saw a black woman with a blonde wig today.
Cultural appropriation. Whiteface.
Honestly, I've never been a fan of changing characters from their original design, unless there was a good reason (for example: the actor/actress really fits into the role in a way that they act just like the characters, they best act the part, etc.)
In cases like "Princess and the Frog" it actually works when the story is told in an fitting enviroment. But that gets often ignored.
If it weren't for double standards...
Bah, you know the rest.
thanks! i forgot to think about reasons not to live today
I don't think they ever define what makes a thought "white"...
7:03 It's almost tragic how this person doesn't realize they are feading the trolling upon them.
Black Panther exists as a white dude on an alternate earth, its marvel canon and that drawing is amazing.
I'm a theater PhD student studying this stuff right now. So many people have ignorant takes about black face, it hurts.
If Nessa is the only character in Pokémon who you've seen with the same skin tone as you, then you don't play or watch Pokémon.
That pike cosplay was pretty hard core. The Level of effort on it was pretty extreme.
If you're crying because you saw a character that was the same skin color as you, you need to get help because you have severe psychological issues that need sorting.
Major in GITS has a cybernetic body and doesn't remember her original self.
I was sure she is designed to be Russian physically but still a Japanese consciousness.
It is part of her disconnect.
As a person who is both white and black, am I in quantum state of white/black face? Twitter hasn't gone after me yet for my crime of existing, but i think this will change soon.
Every culture culturally appropriates shit and source material be damned - be it Bolywood, Holywood, "white jesus" or basically anything.
Holywood nowadays is in "roll d20 - if it rolls 1 then character is black" mode, and how it culturally appropriates things not to homogeneic culture but to the bag of skittles.
