One Piece Does Anti-Racism Surprisingly Well: Fishman Island (ft. My Hero Academia and Black Panther 2018)

So, this is not the usual posts I make, but I really wanted to get these thoughts out of my head. I could write a huge essay about it but I will try to keep it short here. (This is in reaction to chapters 370-372 of MHA.)

TL;DR: The way One Piece deals with anti-racism is surprisingly good (despite the series not being perfectly leftist (indicated by the big presence of fairytale monarchies) when using chapters 370 to 372 of My Hero Academia and Black Panther (2018) as comparison, two other mainstream pieces of media that discuss racism and it consequences within the oppressed group.

The messaging of Fishman Island Arc can be interpreted as: we shouldn't let our intergenerational trauma fester into hate against our oppressors. If we pass this hate to our children, they will grow up hateful and hurt their own people in the end, which makes community healing very difficult (a similar conclusion to Black Panther 2018, which is *the* bar for talking about racism and intergenerational trauma in mainstream media). This is much better than: we shouldn't let our intergenerational trauma turn into hate against our oppressors, because our oppressors will now have legitimate reasons to oppress us.

To elaborate:

• One Piece and Black Panther (2018) frame violence and hate caused by intergenerational trauma as a community problem. The opinions of outsiders are pushed aside, if not entirely absent from the discussion. This is a good way to present anti-racist action, because it puts the spotlight to the marginalized group and avoids the white saviour trope (though the Joyboy thing can be seen as a white saviour trope? Again, Fishman Island is not perfect, it's just surprisingly good compared to the rest of mainstream media. Especially the scene where the Strawhats explicitly say that they will let the fishman decide if these pirates are villains or good guys).

• MHA (chapters 370 to 372) falls flat on its face when it comes to anti-racism. Basically, it tries to say that the oppressed shouldn't express their grievances and frustrations through violence, because their children will suffer the now "justified" anger of the oppressor. This COMPLETLY ignores the fact that the oppressed were still being mistreated when they were peaceful. The messaging is simply maintaining the status quo of violent systemic discrimination. Oppressive peace is not true social justice.

• Furthermore, MHA uses the "one of the good ones" trope heavy-handidly (using the supporting "good guys"), which is an extremely racist concept. You can argue that Fishman Island arc uses that trope (Queen Otohime and Shirahoshi as examples), but it's much less obvious and doesn't have the explicit message of: actually, we shouldn't riot because it'll make us look bad in front of humans. Again, it's a lot more: we shouldn't let hate grow because our fishmen children will become hateful people too, and that doesn't create a healthy community.

• Stopping hate against racist oppressors is not about being liked by the oppressors, it's about putting that energy into loving and healing our own community. Black Panther (2018) tackles that topic through Killmonger: he is a tragic figure so blinded by hate against his oppressors that he forgets to love his own community and black heritage. Hody Jones is also somewhat tragic: his hate against humans is the consequences of anger turned into hate. He has no pride or love for his fellow fishmen. Because of that, Hody Jones divides his own community and endangers them all. This is especially important for anti-racism, since internalized racism is a huge obstacle to anti-racism and community healing.

On the topic of violent reactions to systemic racism and other forms of oppression:

• Violence and riots are a natural reaction to the systemic violence marginalized groups live everyday (yet mainstream media always tries to frame riots as completely unjustifiable and use them to discredit civil rights movements). Marginalized groups (like black children) have been known to show signs of PTSD. There's no denying that systemic oppression is very violent yet we are brainwashed into thinking that it's not true violence.

Conclusions: It's nice to see a hugely popular manga tackle racism in a way that isn't complete liberal/centrist messaging

hey! this is chance & here’s this week’s prompt. what websites or resources do you use while you write or develop a character/story? what do you think of them and would you recommend them?

I'm a classic pinterest moodboard bitch for writing, but for characters I really am trying to do better by my POC OCs and characters with disabilities (mental & physical). I use Writing With Color a lot and search through reddit boards for real-world stories and experiences. I keep antiracist books on my reading list too. If anyone has similar resources hmu.

A document of scaffolded resources for white anti-racists! I think every white person who aspires to be an ally to POC should read this :)

Note: I’m not involved with this project, but rather stumbled upon the document awhile ago. Here’s a quote of the limited info on the document about its creators, all credit goes to them and the lovely work they’re doing.

“Please note: if you wish to compensate us for this work, please donate to one of the following organizations: Unicorn Riot or The Okra Project, or Project Motherpath.* After you’re done, send us a screenshot of the receipt if you’d like - [email protected]”

If the children do not stop using the language of social justice to reinforce the same tired segregationist boundaries I swEAR TO MYSELF

“Maybe I shouldn’t hang out with the working-class kids because I am upper-middle class and my privilege might be a problem” is the second most cop thing I have read today

The Met dubbed ‘institutionally racist’ again. This time, they are urged to accept it.

Much has been said about the Casey Report, released earlier this month by Baroness Casey of Blackstock DBE CB March 2023, which details the acknowledgement of institutional racism within the Met despite the Police commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, refusing to use the word ‘institutional’.

The report discusses the Met’s leadership, recruitment, vetting, training and culture communications. As well as the kind of support that the public should expect from the Police. And a key element is police corruption.

Go and support an amazing publisher, they have tons of great stuff, and free shipping on orders over $20.

Over the weekend I met locally with fellow advocates, leaders, allies, and change makers for The Afro-Canadian Community Conference. We connect and openly talked about the many social issues our community is facing like systematic racism, discrimination and white supremacy. Impacting and influencing change starts by getting in the right rooms and networking with the right people, and this is exactly what happened. Thank you @primorgfound for hosting this event, I know we are on the way to bring more unity and peace in our community. #antiracisteducation #cultraldiversity #blacklivesmatter https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf4tPCMv0Td/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
