So, as I speculated, you took quotes wildly out of context and irrelevant to the discussion to fit your opinion. Your entire argument is based on, essentially, a lie.

The implication that lankypanky is racist simply because they ask to be pointed towards racist comments is incredibly offensive.

Since you seem to be the other person arguing our perspective on the issue I just wanted to let you know that I've done some research and can find no quotations from Toriyama that support Klausaidon's claim that Goku is not Asian.

You keep stating that Toriyama confirmed Goku's ethnicity, yet provide no quote or source to back it up. I have done some research on the issue and have not been able to turn up anything to support your claim.

Not being the same planet with the same geological/evolutionary history is irrelevant to race. The planet in the Avatar: The Last Airbender universe is clearly not our Earth, but I see no one (who isn't a moron) arguing that the characters aren't Asian in appearance and culture.

I won't deny that, especially since I can't recall the exact source for my statement.

Exactly. Check out the above thread where someone is arguing that Goku is not Asian because he's an alien.

It's a matter of context and how the culture is informed.

Anime/manga creators typically don't depict their own nationality/ethnicity with the same caricatured features other people do. Giving Goku white skin doesn't make him any more Caucasian than the thousands of other anime characters with white skin who happen to live in Japan.

I never said that anyone specified Superman as a specific race, let alone me specifically.

I never stated that "white" was a specific race, just that Clark Kent, despite being an alien, has Caucasian features and a lack of melanin, so he can best be described as a "white" person.

It does seem like a lot of Dragonball fans are embarrassed for enjoying the show/manga.

The manga that the show was based off of was always titled, simply, "Dragonball." The Z was only appended to the anime.

Chinese legend, actually, but still a good point. I seriously doubt Toriyama imagined Goku as an alien from the very beginning; that reveal only came much later and still doesn't retcon the fact that he is based off of a Chinese character in a fictional, Chinese-based world.

The Saiyans are Asian in the same way that Superman is white. He may not have Caucasian blood from Earth, but he certainly does have white skin and Caucasian features.

It's not technically inaccurate and I despise those who argue otherwise, but the fact remains that most people just go by the film's title rather than the actual context of the story.

The reason why she wore pants and refused to change into a dress is because the English imprisoned her with men. If she had worn a dress the other prisoners would have known she was a woman and raped her.

You sound like a judgmental asshole. Are you not aware of the origins of the name Kale? It has roots in both Gaelic and Hindu. Fuck off.

The prime universe Goku still became sick and would have died if not for Trunks delivering the heart medication.

I'm aware of the context for anime being slower paced than the original source.
