How do you feel about racial representations in anime? (sh.itjust.works)

This isn't a racist post. Treat it like a conversation starter or discussion topic.

I don't care, really. It's just art so people can make their own if they want representation. Why force everybody to make room for you? Make room for yourself by doing things to represent you. that's the best way, imho, not by hijacking an already existing thing and making it about yourself.

No one is 'hijacking' anything. This is about accurate, non-stereotypical representations of non-Japanese people in Anime. That's a good thing. Racial stereotypes are bad and benefit no one.
