this isn't about mr 2 bon clay or ivankov, this is specifically about the sanji timeskip stuff where he's running from ugly crossdressers trying to convert him to their way of life
and the fishman island stuff i was thinking of was hody jones and how his deal is that he hates humans because he's racist and not because of the bad stuff they've done, we all just need to coexist and get along. it's hardly the worst treatment of racial politics i've seen, but it's still lib shit
I do think there is something to be said about the danger of accepting the bigotry put on you as being just the way of the world and responding by saying "Our camp needs to be even more effective in the promotion of our race, which can never be reconciled with their race". It's not that different from the message of Marcus Garvey, the black nationalist from the 1920s who said that the KKK expresses the "authentic character and will" of every white man and that it's inevitable that one fights on behalf of one's race to secure a nation controlled by that race, and therefore that his group (though much less violent) essentially wishes to pursue the same goals as the KKK, but for the black man. Obviously Garvey didn't do only bad things, e.g. he helped poor black families flee persecution to Africa, but overall his view was deeply damaging and an obvious mirror-image of the "moderate" racism like the worse aspects of Lincoln.
i agree, and i don't think it's an awful message i just think it got a little both sidesy and borders saying reverse racism is as bad as regular racism

Oh yeah, the Sanji thing was weird
