For me it's Dragon Ball Z, that was a pretty fucked up show tbh.

Like holy shit, all the characters are terrible people except maybe Gohan and Trunks.

      There's a much worse song that is just straight up about how the indigenous people are "barely even human". That's a line in the song! There's also the moment where Pocahontas first realizes there's white people invading and she's all crawling around on the ground like an animal trying to spy on them.

        It's pretty obvious the audience isn't supposed to agree with that. It's still bad in how it both sides's it, but the point of that line is to depict the people saying it as bad and racist.

          Oh I know, but kids just latch onto things and sing them everywhere.

        That’s the same song I think, in fact the “barely even human” line is said both by the white villain about the indigenous and also by the indian chief about the whites. It was definitely both sidesing in a shitty way.
