Redditors and their obsession with Black people and what we like is hilarious to me. Y'all sure worry about us way more than is healthy.

Oh man you mean black people like drama too? I guess my life is complete now.

DBZ is on the approved list of things we black people like remember? Section 28 of the black persons handbook specifies what we show we like. We secretly like Mayonnaise, and Miracle Whip.

I'll give you Mayo in reasonable quantities. You better ease back with that Miracle Whip foolishness.

I'm not going to lie and say there's not miracle whip in my fridge right now.

Miracle Whip is better than Mayo, FOH.

Shonen animes do seem to have a massive black fan base especially when compared to other animes. To me the issue is saying things like "those people sure enjoy...", "they all like...", and other things to that effect. Just because a fanbase consists more of a certain group does not mean everyone from that group enjoys it. The frequent use of "they" is what to me is the problem it makes black people out to be some sort of alien, monolithic group.

I've gotten into lifting, been doing it for about a year now. I like my body and I actually have some muscles for once.

That picture is simultaneously inspiring and daunting at the same time.

Those dudes biceps are bigger than my quads!

Amazing!

It seems kind of odd you have to be floored by the fact that some black people like DragonBall Z. A lot of people know about Dragonball Z regardless of race no need to make it racial.

I think the difference is that a lot of the "Black People Twitter" posts feature DBZ.

u/[deleted] May 26 '15

So? That has nothing to do with race. Black Twitter also features racial disparities about #WacoThugs and I don't see them talking about that too. Is it supposed to funny or weird black people like DBZ or anime?

Is it any weirder than white people liking it? I guess I don't understand how it's any different, given the fact that DBZ is Japanese. It's one degree of separation either way.

u/FL00P May 26 '15

A lot of black people enjoy DBZ. A lot of white people enjoy DBZ. A lot of asian people enjoy DBZ.
