There was an art style in a less enlightened time that his design is somewhat reminiscent of.

If it was meant to be racist, it certainly wasnt slick.

If it wasnt meant to be racist, weird oops, I guess.

King Kai is also pretty racist.

But since Toriyama is asian he can get away with that one I guess.

I've never thought Popo was racist, just some fantasy entity.

I'm not even sure Popo is supposed to be black.

There are black characters in the show that look nothing like Popo.

Growing up as a kid, I never really saw the character and went "Haha, funny black man." I just assumed he was some mystical weird being in a show full of dinosaurs and talking dog-men and shit.

As an adult, I see the resemblance to blackface but idk, does it really fucking matter? He's not human and he doesn't fulfill any of the other blackface/minstrel stereotypes so eh. He's just Mr. Popo.

Asia is racist to everyone, just like every other country and region is racist to Asia. I follow Japanese comedy, and white people don't get a break either. Meet Bobbu and Kasari-ne.

Japan loves calling out Americans and westerners for big noses. And in the video, big breasts.

notice the ones that condone violence against racists always defend racism when made in japan.


To those saying the Popo design is racist you have it backwards because it's not even based on any race as Toriyama has made black people before this makes you the racist for assuming that he's black.
