Cowboy Bebop (TV Series) - Live-Action Remake - November 19, 2021

I don't see it lol

Just going by looks, sure, it's rough. Need to factor in other things like how he speaks, his nickname as a cop, how he dressed (back in the day), fondness for jazz, and leaving the white bitch out to dry. Probably some other things I'm forgetting, too.

If Jet is black then I don't know what colour even is.

So, forget what a person looks like, it's their *mannerisms* that should tell us what a person's race is? Isn't that the very definition of being racist? He's clearly not black but "talks like a black person", likes "black person things", and is called names black people are called. Ok then.

[Zetanio]

Yeah that may be one of the most racist posts on BG.

So you are saying he is Rachel Dolezal?

Now, now, I didn't say he ate watermelons, too.

Anyway, feel free to try and jump on me for ing or whatever, but I'm also trying to view it from the JP perspective of the 90's.

So you are saying Japanese people are racists!?! That's also racists... but kind of true

[arus2001]

Saying it's not uncommon for fiction to cherrypick stereotypes, really. Especially anime. D:

[TummieGaruda]

He's clearly not black but "talks like a black person"

You do realize that the english voice actor for Jet is actually black and was born in South Carolina right??

[xElipsis]

At least Naoki Urasawa's Monster is do-able...

What?

Next you are going to tell me that Goku Black is considered a black character?


Also jet being called black dog had to do with the led zep song anyway iirc.

I know people don't want to see Cowboy Bebop's name dragged through the mud, but like, I don't think there's been a cool scifi show set in space since like.... Battlestar Galactica. I might be desperate enough to believe in this one.

Dark Matter is pretty dope.

is that racist

isn't that just a fact at this point

[dasva]

I don't know the rules anymore. I mean a lot of stereotypes have a fair amount of truth to them but pointing it out always seemed racist. Also I haven't seen a jp onry shout in forever

[Rhyis.]

wtf is black goku? i clearly missed an era

Also I haven't seen a jp onry shout in forever

damn, I totally forgot about this

[Alistaire]

I also realise that that doesn't matter if the character is still clearly not black.

[Xno Kappa]

I never once figured Jet as a black guy lol.

No, but I wouldn't be upset if they cast a black guy for jet.
