Is Ludicolo racist?

[ProClifo]

Some people say Ludicolo is racist, but most Mexicans I've talked to say they love seeing their culture embraced in pop culture and international media. So is it racist, if so, who's complaining most about it?

If it acts like an overexaggerated stereotypical mexican then I would consider it harmless ignorant racism (which I think is common in the east) which is miles better than hostile racism. I have a strong feeling the only people complaining about it are privileged people who want to show off their moral superiority by being concerned about those "under" them

It's the same people that said Speedy Gonzales is racist, but the Mexicans said they liked the cultural representation.



I think some people just like finding reasons to be upset. I don't know why.

who is that

I haven't seen mexicans be bothered by it at all which is why I think it's stupid for "activists" online to complain about it.

Here's a similar story: I'm Venezuelan, which is one of the worst countries in the world, having the worst economy in the entire world due to inflation.

My family and I were watching South Park, and there was this character, a janitor who worked under minimum wage cleaning shitty bathrooms who was Venezuelan.

We laughed.

We didn't find it offensive, if anything we found it cool that our problems and existence was being acknowledge, you usually don't see us represented in media.

Fuck the people who are saying these things are racist tbh.

I honestly don't even understand this line of thought. Pointing at every reference to another culture and calling it racist is probably one of the most ignorant things you can do.

It's as if they believe that people in country A are not allowed to even talk about country B.
