Disagree. Made me angrier to realize what was done with shoe-horning non-euros into euro mythology in some of my favorite shows growing up. Kids should have people of their own ethnic group to relate to.

Yeah, maybe people shouldn't make European mythology black or Asian sometimes (although they can do whatever they want because its an adaptation) , but also we need diversity in new media, such as new movies with completely new plots, it's better to have there both white, black and Asian people because kids wouldn't become racist.

also white, black, and asian is a bit... like... a vietmanese person is not the same as a han chinese person. a sentinel islander is not the same as a west african is not the same as an aboriginal australian. and where do people like the piraha fit into this, are they a type of "asian" who would be just as well represented by that guy from "gangnam style" (a very racist production, btw, no non-east-asians present in the video)?

I agree, it's just general "races", it's, better to represent all ethnicities in sons, ways. But it's not the point.

do you think gangnam style is racist?

No. I don't think just excluding races at all is racist, it's just annoying but if it's made a lot of times it is indeed racist. But in Korea there's not so much minorities, unlike in the US where afro Americans are important.

Korea does have minorities... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_South_Korea#Foreign_population

So k-pop is racist?
