Can naruto possibly be racist?

[Bijuu13]

Eh, Killer Bee is a rapper and he's black, so...

Also, did anyone else find it funny Darui using "Black Panther" lightning technique...

Naruto has its moments.. But i dont think its really that racist.

If anything, its positive and not negative..

lol woowww i never noticed till now

Raikage is also very violent (How they see black people)
Darui is lazy (How they see black People)
i also statted this awhile back. But Killer Bee is not fat. thats how they made him in the manga. he is actually muscular. just not Raikage muscular.........

but every anime does that... so its w.e

Stereotypical yes. Racist NO.

Stereotypical yes. Racist NO.

Nicely said. Agreed

People, lets not confuse racism with stereotypes. Naruto isn't racist, but just a bit stereotypical when It comes to Bee & Raikage. But if you let a little stereotype stop you from liking the greatest Manga of ALL TIME, then you're a dumbass. U_U

Shit you guys don't know what it's like to grow up black in the south where I'm from. Rascism is real bad out here. Idk where you guys are m but you have no idea what y'all are talkin about. Shit the klan put a burning cross in my brothers yard last week.

Sorry to get off topic.


It's funny how people who share my ethnicity (I'm Black) always seem to think they are the only ones who encounter racism and stereotypes. What about other ethnicities? Do you see Jews,Mexicans, Native Americans, etc, complaining? Do you see women constantly complaining about sexism (which isnt even taken seriously by the majority)? Spare us the drama dude.

I'm not even compiling I just think its ignorant for people to believe that rascism and hatered do not exist , if you can't handle people talking about you well all you have to do is lift weights and crack a few heads. It does really bother me unless I go to the boondocks. Lol the boondocks is one hell of a place

Actually if you do look at it's kinda true maybe thats the way they see black people the only thing I dont get is the yellow Corn rolls lol also they made B look like a goofy rapper another character that's black is lazy talks about womens chest and actually if you think about it they kinda set up the uchihas to be japan/Chinese people to be the strongest/athletic and naruto everyone knows that Chinese people like Americans that have blonde hair and blue eyes idk if it's an envy thing I know Chinese girls like that. Pretty much there setting it up as Chinese people are stronger then black people. I'm surprised they didn't put the Spanish culture in there.lol

 

[Cerox0]

Gee, an entire Nation of OP Black people. I wonder?


/stupid worthless thread.

 

[Exaar]

I don't see why Race has to be brought into Anything.

Can't people just enjoy shit without having to bringing Race into things.

I wonder if you realise what you just did that in that post yourself.

Narutoverse is an imaginary verse. Off course, writers pick things from RL and some sterotyping may affect their work but I don't see any supposed race from the real world being dicriminated in the story. You are the one who just gave it a racist turn with that sentence I highlighted with red font.

 

[LegendaryAce]

Is there anyone white in Naruto? they are all mostly asian right? (not really important just wondering)

I never understood the term white person...most asians are white ? just the ones from a hotter place are dark brown...and noone in this world is black unless you were burnt alive and still survived..however people see it they are brown.

also its 2012 man ...drop that stuff its not needed anymore we are all 1 big happy(sort of) world

Lol, it completely depends on how you look at it.

The Raikage is a hench guy, who is fast, strong, and can probably OHKO a bear with his pinky, yet he isn't to great in the smart department and is easily angered. That basically says "****ing RAF!"

Killer Bee, he continuously raps, he wears shades constantly, and he's kinda podgie. Stereotypical black rapper?

But then on the other hand, we have the Raikage as one of the fastest men alive, he is the leader of the military force of the army, as is able to demand respect with ease. He is also arguable one of the strongest Kages, beneath Oonoki of course. u_u.

Then we have Bee, he's the host of the 8 tails, yet is able to get along with the 8th tails the second strongest Bijuu with ease, he is obviously kind hearted and forgiving, and is also carefree, which is the opposite of his brother who is constantly in rage mode. Not to mention he's probably one of the strongest people in the Narutoverse.

Then we have Darui, he is a division leader or something, he's smart, he similar in aspect to Shikimaru, who constanlty finds everything a drag while darui constantly thinks about the If's. Except now, Shikimaru is like some cannon fodder, while Darui is getting some nice roles.

All in all, if Kumogakure members didn't have so many lead roles, then I'd find it racist and would probably stop watching Naruto, and rage at Kishi through letters. I don't think its racist, its just a bit stereotypical. Lets face it, all of Kishi's characters are stereotypical.
Let's face it, Kumo is probably one of the strongest villages in the narutoverse, and its full of black people, that's enough to make me happy lol.
