My favorite part was when she started throwing ZOMG BLOND HISPANICS into the fail salad.

As a white Hispanic, I want to personally throttle anyone who excuses the whitewashing of Latin American characters with the "but there ARE white Hispanic people!!" defense. Because hey, us white-skinned people? Whether Hispanic or not, we're not exactly lacking for representation.

Psh, the Great Artist should not be impeded by petty concerns like Social Reality! Don't you know that "there is something wrong with complaining that some character does not fit your idea of what foreigners should be like, as if they can’t be whatever they want to be"?

Of course, (pet peeve moment) SYT's very names prove Morrison knows nothing about the vast differences between Chinese and Japanese wrt to word-construction and translation.
