Attack on Titan
brianez said: skittle316 said: Levi a jew never would've have guessed. I like the different ancestry brings more originality, I remember 1st watching the anime and assuming everyone was Asian lol. I still laugh at the people who make a big deal at the fact there aren't many black,asian and hispanic characters and it makes the anime "unrealistic" when it actually makes it 10x more realistic. How is that realistic when Asia and Africa make up the top two percentages of world population respectively? Asians are 60% of the world population, Africans 14% and Europeans only 11%. If the show was realistic, that's what the percentage of characters would be, BUT This doesn't bother me, I understand that this is fiction and anime and it's not realistic. Also, the author lives in a world where he's probably mostly only exposed to Japanese and Caucasian culture, so it makes sense sense that his art would either focus around Japanese or white people. Just wanted to correct you on the realistic comment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_world They obviously wanted to keep all the blacks and dirty Spaniards out when they were raising the walls. |
| Be realistic people, blacks would be the first to die off if titans attacked humanity simply due to the fact they lack adaptability and ability to innovate. Look at what Asia, Europe etc have achieved and then look at Africa, those walls need the best of humanity inside them. Just look at modern Detroit now as appose to how it was many decades ago, would you let Africans in? Also I'm pretty sure it is set in Europe, where it is mostly white, so your multiracial nightmare wouldn't be realistic anyway. Also in Japan and most of Asia whiteness = perfection (and even Africa, India etc where skin whitening creams are sold, sorry it is the truth) so blacks have no chance ever of having any significance in their entertainment. There is also the fact that humanity has to be perfectly united within these walls, so they are able to get along and work together most efficiently, basically just look at how America is completely divided up by race with Asians, blacks and whites each having their own little corner. |

keragamming said: So just because the colour of their skin is different, you think they're dumb? Does that make sense? You think race is only skin deep? Sorry but that isn't true. If the only difference was skin colour than there would be little to no difference between white people and blacks people. You only have to compare Africa with Europe to know that isn't true. Whites and Asians typically adapt and innovate, blacks typically don't no matter where they go. |

So are you saying they're not smart enough to adapt and innovate, or blacks are just lazy? |

Actually all the international aid given to Africa has probably just made them even more lazy, since they now just rely on that aid to sustain themselves and don't bother with doing anything themselves. You don't have to study black history, you just need to take a look at places that have any significant amount of black people to see what I am talking about. Quite simply just take a look at what blacks have achieved in all the time they have spent on this planet and then take a look at what whites, Asians etc have achieved to answer your own questions. |

I live in Germany so there are not that much black people, and the ones I know seem like normal persons to me. I did read up on some stuff on the net just now. Here's my question, what could they've achieve if they were captured from their countries to be slaves? Also I'm pretty sure a lot of black people achieve a lot of success. |

"Seem normal" yes that is correct, they are functional beings that are capable, however they are not as capable as say white or Asian people. Just like dogs are different depending on their breed, with border collie being probably the most intelligent, no one seems to have a problem with 1 breed of dog simply being better than the others but when that same logic is applied to humans it is apparently racist and ignorant even though we're both living organisms bound by the same rules. Captured and turned in to slaves? please be joking, blacks were sold as slaves by other blacks. Just like today with that Boko Haram story that has been on lots of news sites. And anyway, there have always been lots of blacks and they have always had the opportunity to work together and become strong, innovate etc but they never did. |

The internet says others, it clearly said whites enslave black people. |

| hey, hey guys can't we just go back to the main point of the thread? yes? thanks (this is getting really out of hand and no one wants to have the thread locked because of this) if you want to keep with the conversation just keep talking to your profiles or via PM please |

| Levi sounds hungarian.... |

| Holy fucking shit, this thread went places on this last page... |
| This is why we can't have nice things. Even an initially innocent thread about characters' nationalities has to devolve into full-blown racist retardedness. Come on, MAL. Come on. |

Tsuyuu said: BS.So maybe the Titans are actually Russian? Nope, SnK takes place in a fictional universe and the characters have no connection to any real nationalities at all. Although It does take inspiration from European/Asian influences... that doesn't mean that they are necessarily european or asian. Theyt called Misaka one of the last Asians. |
