Jap draws cartoon about having a gorilla bf, :marseysnoo: deduce its about racism

https://old.reddit.com/r/manga/comments/18cnis5/disc_im_dating_a_gorilla_by_kou88450_oneshot

Comic is honestly cringe but having a (jap) character look like a gorilla is a long running gag in their media. Which is why despite being a :marseyblacked: :marseyrentfree: and that striking my mind first I thought it wouldn't feature too much in the discussion. Ofc that's not the case, redditors are convinced its about Africans.

Again, off the top of my head I can remember three gorilla characters in popular mangay, I've probably seen more just forgotten but it doesn't come into their mind

I don't understand how anyone can be on /r/manga and not have come across this trope in some obviously non racist context in the past. !anime

How are xenophobia and racism the same thing? Just shows where these tard's minds are at even more. They don't see other races as inferior (well, some maybe, and that would be racist), they just don't like cultural outsiders. I would even say they (begrudgingly) see white people as their superiors after getting BTFO in WWII

They always were yuroboos, Meiji reformers even tried to switch fashion to yuro style though obviously that had nothing to do with the actual hard power advantages yuros enjoyed that allowed perry's mission. Pan Asianism and assorted ideologies they came up with pre WW2 reek of the same sort of cope neo paganism does, same as Russia's eurasianism.

They have an interesting history in respect to western powers for sure. I suspect the main problem is that their women have always craved white men and they have to design their foreign policy around the issue.
