I watched a Japanese video about the awful classic 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie since I was curious about how it was viewed from a Japanese perspective. Disney's involvement in the movie's production is mentioned at which point the author jokes that "if today's Disney was in charge, Mario would probably be made into a black guy"

I love how everyone's brains are being pickled by the same shitty American culture wars worldwide

The comments were also great

"Toad could work as a black person because his head kind of resembles an afro"

"Italians are already considered a minority in America so they wouldn't need to change him into a black man"

The best part about learning new languages is being able to read even more racist comments on the internet
