This producer does not have the intention of the racial discrimination.
However, as for these cartoon, it was not got the recommendation of the Education Ministry because the then Japanese Government thought about the same thing.

Maybe the fact that it was made around that time? Even movies right now in the states reflect themes about the war we're having in Iraq. It's just the way these things go. . .
I wonder how many children watched this that died in the bombings in 1945.

In 2005, the US applied 20,395, representing an increase of 30% year on year. The annual number of patent applications filed in Japan has remained steady at more than 400,000 in 1998 to just over 800,000 in 2006.

SwissInfo Services 02-17-2007 The United States, following Japan, has become the second-largest country in terms of patent application, an official of WIPO said in Zurich, which hosted the Official Creative and Innovative Contest 2007. Switzerland finished 3rd, 20,000 patents less than 2nd placed USA. WIPO Patent Report: Statistics on Worldwide Patent Activity (2007 Edition), The total number of applications per year to the USPTO has grown from roughly 250,000 in 2000 to over 400,000 in 2006.

Well, if you're talking fields such as space exploration, nano tech, medical imaging, super computers, communications... I could go on, Japan does not hold a candle to the US. Look at the vaunted Jap. manufacturers such as Sony, Casio, Mitsubishi & etc. Most if not all of their products are now made in the happy land of China. I am curious where you came up with "More than twice as many Gadgets & Techs Patents than the second placed USA". Would like to see verifiable data on that if you could.

This cartoon is racist and is 'of its time'. But, racism has not gone away its just as bad,with a subtler approach.
When you deny someone work, education or a promotion based on their colour, they can't punch you in the face. The law protects you.
'Political correctness' is to protect good ppl, against having to punch u in the face!
We need 'political correctness', because there are, still, many ppl who genuinely believe that paler skin confers an intrinsic superiority.

Ha, well if I were white, I'd be offended. My only guess for white people being fine with it, is because they've treated other races so badly for some many years, I guess it's pay back or something. I could be wrong. Still, if I were white and some black guy called me a cracker, I'd be offended. I guess that's just how I am...

Asians and black people also portray caucasians in a stereotypical way, I for one don't give a living shit.
Black people call white people crackers, the chinese world for white man literaly means "longnose". Why should I be offended by that ?
KirbyPhelpsPK (August 17, 2008 at 5:24 pm)
Exactly, and if I were Chinese, Japanese, or Indian, I'd be pissed off too.
And, "Harmless Stereotyping"?
Harmless?
HARMLESS!!!?
There have been tons and tons of issues over a race of people being drawn stereotypically.
For example, Jynx (from Pokemon), those Japanese people in that Bugs Bunny cartoon, Mr. Popo (from Dragonball, although I didn't mind him that much). You just don't know how it feels because your.....uh....nah, I won't go there.
Pulzar (August 17, 2008 at 5:07 pm)
They also do this with chinese people and indians in modern american cartoons, never heard anyone complain about those.
Big nose, narrow eyes... it's just some harmless stereotyping. |
