@Me__da__lata @kumadanko_001 Terrible: polaco no sabe de la existencia del Reino Unido. Mi preferencia por hablar en ingles en twitter no significa nada.

@kumadanko_001 I believe you can be xenophobic and hateful towards white people, but true systemic racism like other races suffer is simply nonexistent for white people.

[Kurt @KurtWagnerDP]

@dMepmgampWw @617Wn @Excalibur2343 The darkening of the skin was to look like the character, who is black. If a cosplayer painted their skin pale white and narrowed their eyes to look like an asian character that would be racist, like paiting your skin black to look like a black character.

@pJsNsQFSXHvtueY It's not "banned" in any country, it's taboo. You can't expect to break a taboo in someone's culture and not receive judgement from them. You are free to ignore them, but that won't make them look kindly on you.

[Kurt @KurtWagnerDP]

@kumadanko_001 Scientific terms co-opted by racist individuals to demean and discriminate against black people, it really is not that hard.

[Kurt @KurtWagnerDP]

@Me__da__lata @kumadanko_001 I'm from Spain you dumbass.

[Kurt @KurtWagnerDP]

@kumadanko_001 >"Caucasoid" You can't be racist against white people.
>"M*ngoloid" Also a slur, don't use it.

[Kurt @KurtWagnerDP]

@pJsNsQFSXHvtueY Your views don't dictate those of the rest of the world, black people are discriminated against whether you like it or not. Your personal belief doesn't matter if your actions don't reflect that. Black face has been and will be a sign of racism for a long time.

[Kurt @KurtWagnerDP]

@pJsNsQFSXHvtueY If you are so sure in your belief that your country has never engaged in racial discrimination based on skin color then I don't think this conversation is going to lead anywhere. I don't think you're racist, I just hope you understand what these people go through one day.

[Kurt @KurtWagnerDP]

@pJsNsQFSXHvtueY No, if those same people got on Twitter and started showing themselves off with black paint on, they would need to be educated on why that's not ok. Discrimination ends when people stop acting like there isn't an issue, and we actually address it like adults.

[Kurt @KurtWagnerDP]

@pJsNsQFSXHvtueY That's very naive. Not talking about it leads to situations like this, where you can claim ignorance on racial issues that you say don't exist in your country, you know it's not true. Racism exists in Japan. We all own this Earth, be a little kinder.

[Kurt @KurtWagnerDP]

@dMepmgampWw @617Wn @Excalibur2343 If you believe people are racist if they narrow their eyes to "look more asian" then I agree with you. I think you hold authority in deciding that.

[Kurt @KurtWagnerDP]

@kaninosub_426 I agree, once discrimination is gone. I can see blackface not being an issue anymore.

[Kurt @KurtWagnerDP]

@kaninosub_426 You don't want to have black skin, you want to be beautiful. Being black comes with a lot more than having pretty skin. I hope for a future where this isn't the case, but right now it's not.

[Kurt @KurtWagnerDP]

@dMepmgampWw @617Wn @Excalibur2343 People decide what is discriminatory against their own culture. You decide what is discriminatory towards japanese people, I decide what is discriminatory against spanish people and black people decide what is discriminatory against black people. I am simply spreading their view.

[Kurt @KurtWagnerDP]

@617Wn @Excalibur2343 Being black makes you bear that weight. By painting yourself that way you get to look like them but avoid their history. I understand she did it out of love for the character but it's still not okay to do, even if she didn't intend it that way.

[Kurt @KurtWagnerDP]

@dMepmgampWw @617Wn @Excalibur2343 The point is wether the representation is harmful or not. Jacynthe is not a bad representation. Others like Mr. Popo are. It is difficult to have a consistent mindset for everyone, we just need to be better at discussing this without anger. (Which is difficult due to the subject)

[Kurt @KurtWagnerDP]

@pJsNsQFSXHvtueY I don't want black people to be discriminated against. But we live in a world where they are. So we need to be conscious of this and be respectful to them. You can't just say it has nothing to do with you. Being in this world involves you in that issue as well.
