2-What would I tell my kid when they ask why most people don't like shows full of brown people. Or why are all brown heroes lesser known?

3-As long as Japan thinks its okay to do offensive stuff like make entire stories with an entire planet devoid of undesirables and people keep copying the anime they see then this is all we're gonna get.

4-We have to take a stand and I don't care how deeply ingrained something is, "do on to others as you want them to do on to you" is universal.

5-My parents taught me to stand up for whats right and to keep working hard. I thought that meant eventually it would pay off and people would learn to care about each other. But no matter how long i live it never changes. One life and this is it? 1-Personally, I don't accept what they do. I think it's major bullshit and the Nº1 reason I despise their culture for the most part. But I do accept there's nothing I can realistically do about it, because for starters I don't even know the Japanese language, and they wouldn't even care enough to listen to 1 single person anyway.

2-For the former, tell him "Because it's just as racist to exclude all races but black". For the latter, "Because the most famous heroes were White, because they were made in a racist age".

3-"Anime was a mistake". More seriously though, the problem is that said "offensive" stuff...they don't even see it as offensive. Because they are a backwards culture. So you get things like gays and transexuals/androgynous people being nothing more than punchlines, among many other things.

4-You don't care, then you're a fool. The deeper the root, the harder it is to pull out. The Japanese are horrendously traditionalist, their isolationism leads to little cultural evolution. So unless they somehow open up and you're willing to wait decades, they won't even listen.

5-Yes, little child. Because 1 person changes nothing, a few people change NOTHING.

You want to make change? Get a crowd. Standing up gets you nothing if you're the only one who does. Every little noticeable change in history was done by many, not by just 1 person or a couple of people.

Revolutions, elections, corporative success, technological progress, everything was the product of many. Even Messiahs needed the support of the many to succeed. If Jesus didn't have so many followers, Christianity would've never been.

Standing up for what's right is one thing. Working hard is one thing. Changing an entire culture by yourself? A waste of a lifetime. And just because you want people to get along it doesn't mean people will. In fact, we never will, because otherwise we wouldn't be people.

We are different from each other, that's one of our key traits. To make everyone get along you'd have to brainwash everyone, make everyone an equal. Thus killing freedom and creativity in every way. In other words, you'd have to make a Void.
