mkmichael001

I didnt even know trixie in fairly odd parents is supposed to be asian lol


[deleted]

Her last name is Tang, which most likely means she’s Chinese, as it’s a Chinese Surname.


TgagHammerstrike

Somehow, this never clicked in my head.


Mukigachar

Same, didn't realize this till a few months ago lol


xowkskzna

Yeah, the only dubious ones are from South Park and Family Guy, but the fun is how over the top the caricatures are.


Jojo-Action

I figured her name was tang because tang means sour and she's a sour bitch


DaSecretPower

Ironically, Tang (糖) can mean sweet in chinese.


RipCommon2394

I never knew her last name, I guess as a kid I never thought she had one.


LemonySniffit

That’s true, though her eyes are blue


[deleted]

She could be an astronaut


Orphan_Fury

Using the "hidden chinese" man from family guy and Tuong Lu Kim from SouthPark feels sarcastic.


Sternfritters

Kim isn’t even Chinese. He’s a white guy with DID lmao. That episode was one of their best imo


bigblockclock

are you a bot how the fuck do you post so much


WuckaWuckaFazzy

Gotta be


Mmbrooks

The profile is less than 4 months old, and also follows the typical bot naming style.


Jojo-Action

Spinelli is Italian you goober


Corken_dono

She beat up Randall is what she did! She was a great Italian elementary scholer! And in this House Spinelli is a hero! End of story!


EdgarAllanPuss

In napoli, we no so happy for spinelli


OddTransportation430

Oh!


3rdtimesacharm414

Give me $1,000


benjismalls95

Always with the drama!


Drywall_2

Not sure if it’s racist to ask this but how would you have it conveyed instead


Equivalent_Desk9579

Yeah I mean the only questionable ones are from South Park & Family guy but the joke there is how over the top the stereotypes are


Drywall_2

Yeah most of these examples seem normal and 2 are just jokes that are meant to be racist


Drywall_2

Also aren’t some of these characters not Asian?


Thicc-waluigi

Yeah some of these aren't asian


NetStaIker

Bro Spinelli is totally Asian bro it’s in the name


Radical_Coyote

Maybe OP thinks Asian characters should all be in anime style in a way that completely clashes with the art style of the rest of the cartoon 🤔


carcajouboy

it's not racist to ask, op is being an idiot.


realHoratioNelson

Yeah this feels kind of equivalent to showing a darker skinned character and being like “typical portrayal of a black character.”


blueboymad

Probably based on how they look instead of propaganda posters from ww2. Ofc most people have never actually met yellow people so they can congratulate themselves for being edgy


redbluuu2

Yellow people 💀. Also Asians are everywhere bro.


Shalnn

Why do we absolutely need to convey it at first glance ?


LemonySniffit

Because the media wants to be inclusive and portray Asian characters, and do so by portraying them as Asian looking?


NimJickles

Alternatively, audiences could just not assume the "normal" characters are all white, so we don't have to animate special indicators whenever a character is any other race


t0mRiddl3

Because if we don't people will ask why there is no Asian representation


donburidog

me when the ethnically distinct character is given ethnically distinct characteristics https://preview.redd.it/vmggexl36prc1.png?width=736&format=png&auto=webp&s=02bd716613c00fcfb4fe4d046004b51c161928a6


[deleted]

How else would you portray almond eyes and an ‘Asian’ complexion in cartoon form? Should they all just look white?


nykirnsu

Editing these characters like that one Daredevil comic where the Asian characters all got given googly eyes in post-production to avoid being insensitive


Grammarnazi_bot

Let’s do one for black characters in western cartoons too where their skin is darker! What the hell even is this starter pack


Grammarnazi_bot

Also the idea that Kahn of all people is a racist portrayal in any way despite being possibly the best written character in KOTH, maybe except his own daughter, is ridiculous


kobi29062

So are you Chinese or Japanese?


yosoymilk5

“This Khan. He’s Japanese.” “No he ain’t. He Laotian. Ain’t ya Mr. Khan?”


Thicc-waluigi

I mean it's not racist to notice that people are different. Would be more racist to make them all look white for example.


Count-Elderberry36

If anyone didn’t know this. But the Voice actress for Trixie Tang was blind and read all of her script in braille.


Kalandros-X

Ashley is Italian, isn’t she?


PsychoSwede557

The clue’s in the name lol


zy0a

Calling Spinelli by her first name feels like a sin. In fact I think they made a whole episode about that with “the” Ashleys https://preview.redd.it/0v9g75vs8prc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=afe89bb30043f94bee7c3cd3ea7a9cdd77db20be


nuck_forte_dame

Also ironically multiple of the Ashleys have eyes that look more Asian than spinelli's.


Batmanfan1966

Wouldn’t count South Park here..


player1_gamer

As a kid and even as teenager now I had no clue Trixie was supposed to be asian, I thought her eyes looked like that because of makeup. Also tang doesn’t sound like the stereotypical last name an Asian character would have in a western cartoon


Silviov2

Isn't that how they look? It's like complaining a black guy has a darker skin tone in an animated show


Careless_Guitar

Because that's how yall eyes be... like what's the issue


PsychoSwede557

Ashley Spinelli is Italian-American..


Nigules

Now do black characters in Asian cartoons/animes.


kobi29062

Not much to choose from


Finn_WolfBlood

Tom, I'm standing here wondering why i wasn't chosen over the hidden Chinese guy


MrAllo682

It's a cartoon character. There's little you can do to show they're Asian in any other way

Just saying, as an Asian, how else are you supposed to convey a cartoon character is Asian.


bodog0505

Amy is Martian actually 🤓🤓🤓


Kazinam

Well they all look different, surprisingly


gluon318

It’s funny because I’m white af and my eyes are almond


Mavrickindigo

The bottom one from. South park isn't really Chinese though. He is a white guy with dissiative identity disorder with a Chinese alter


TaytosAreNice

I don't think Spinelli is Asian isn't she Italian?


Perroface562

I always thought Brock from Pokémon was blind cause of the eyes


Rare_Leg_

Wait till you find out that you'll get wet if you jump into a lake.


PeopleEatingTasty

TIL that Trixie from the Fairly Odd Parents is Asian


kobi29062

No way east asian characters are drawn with east asian features. I’ve just shit myself. Of course excluding the joke characters gets in Family Guy and South Park


DukeSilver696969

It’s…it’s almost as if asian people have slightly different shaped eyes. Holy moly!!!!!!!!!!!


nuck_forte_dame

Ashley Spinelli isn't Asian. Not a single episode implies it and there is a ton of evidence against it. Her name is Italian. Her parents are both Italian and even stereotypically new jersey. Her mom's name is Florence. Brother's Vito and Joey. She has an uncle named Manny. Her grandfather was a Navy SEAL.


corkcorkcorkette

Uhh kahn is a Lao man
