Everything you said, each group, has the right to be offended by that. I get it. It sucks because it’s a lose lose. But someone will have to be athe bottom, but we live during a time where people can fight back.
Putting aside that the right to be offended is one of the stupidest notions I've ever heard, that doesn't mean something is actually offensive nor allows you to discredit it by claiming it is something it is not.
What these people do is interpreting something in a highly subjective, personal way using little information that is fragmented and then decide they don't like it and use the racial argument just to make their misplaced opinion look more credible. They are effectively raping and abusing the racial argument to feed their own arrogance.
That's cancerous to society as a whole, but it's also counterproductive to the real racial issues.
Calm down, champ. The implication is there in that there is some history of Asian characters playing a subservient role to white characters. An implication does not need to be intentional, either, to be present. That's why I described it as "not a good look." Is it overtly racist, or even intended to be? No, I highly doubt that. But there is such a thing as being tone-deaf, for lack of a better word.
Only that is nowhere implied. That's just a highly forced interpretation some people gave it purely so that they could call it racist, not because it is actually racist. This is them just not liking something and then call it racist pure out of convenience and use that as a pathetic excuse to justify that.
You're effectively blaming the makers for not taking into account a bunch of arrogant egos who intentionally try to see racism everywhere using faulty and retarded logic. That's messed up. The ones who screwed up here are not the makers, but the ones who gave such a messed up interpretation. If that makes the makers tone-deaf, then that makes the critics blind, deaf, dumb and simple.
