Not really... maybe Bee could be seen as kind of racist, if only because he likes rap. But really, not. Raikage is displayed as powerful, intelligent, heroic, I mean as the leader of the ninja alliance he's pretty much the de facto ruler of the world and he was chosen for a reason. I don't see it like that at all, it's one of the more positive depictions of blacks in manga imo.
...military leader...

Raikage was a total punk ass douche until he found out Bee was alive and wanted him to lead the summit and the allience. It gives the impression blacks are stronger and more skilled than other races. Racist.

Both of them are racist for the fact they're better than asians in taijutsu(Sasuke) Did I mention, they're stu's as well, from what I read, Bee basically mastered his tailed beast faster than Naruto did and still ended up dominatant, there was no challenge to his tailed beast control so yeah.Raikage was a total punk ass douche until he found out Bee was alive and wanted him to lead the summit and the allience.

I don't even know why Kishi created them. They belong in Jojo's Bizare Adventure or DBZ.

Originally posted by marwash22So are Gaara and Zabuza Japanese? Despite they are from different countries than Sasuke....
Unless otherwise noted, i figure it's implied that all Japanese animation characters are, ya know, Japanese.
Originally posted by King KandyWould Gohan have worked?
Well if he wasn't an alien I could agree with that.

It effects Sasuke, just in a different way than other people. lolTrue, true. That's what made the chapter so amusing. Just hug your dark side to beat it. No big fight, just love.
😆 When it comes to Naruto does he ever not have some kinda gay undertone?
Not as much as the others though, and not the way Naruto intended. Therefore, Sasuke >> A >> Nagato/Zabuza/Naruto's dark side biscuits
Love conquers all in the Naruto-verse. Dammit, even hatred.
That's mostly true. Maybe when he is speaking with Sakura?

That's like saying it's implied Gokou is asian.
You're right. They aren't Asian. They're definitely inspired by East Asians though. Same goes for the Naruto characters.
Unless it's Gohan, Goten & Trunks we're talking about, since their mothers are implied to be Asians.

It's like it is in Avatar. The characters themselves aren't Asians, but they're inspired by them, and the creator has drawn influences from their culture.
If you wanted to take it literally, some Water Benders would be like the Inuit and such. They aren't East Asians.
