I noticed black people like Dragon Ball, probably more than any other cartoon.

Why this?

Pretty interesting read. Basically, the underdog rising to the top is something that black youth culturally identify with as a theme.

On the other hand, a lot of other races like DBZ too so I'm also not too sure why black guys are questioned about it in particular. Why do so many white people like Dragonball?

Interesting excerpt though:

"Some fans of the show relate to a character that doesnt know their heritage.

Ive been thinking a lot about where I come from and who came before me in my family and circling back to Dragon Ball Z, it does resonate with me a lot, DJ Kirkland, a comics artist working on the miniseries Black Mage, said over Twitter DMs. Those of us that are black and born in the U.S., at least some of us to an extent dont know where were from and I feel that is something that a lot of people of color can identify with.

It's not just black people that like the show though, it's universally loved all around. With that said, I'm willing to admit I used to like the show due to nostalgia. When you actually look at the series as a whole, it's not very good. The only one I probably do enjoy most is probably the first Dragon Ball, but that's mostly for the humor.

Why the fuck aren't black people allowed to like it is the real question. Does Dragon Ball send an anti-black agenda?

DBZ should be liked by anyone with a brain. Black/White/Mexican, it's amazing.
