So theres a picture circulating the internet of three characters that look like they belong in the dragonball-verse and strike a resemblance to goku, gohan and goten. The caption that reads under them said Would you have watched if they was black. I made a video talking about this subject here

But if you are too busy to watch the video. In the comment section of the video people were basically hating on each other, calling each other racists left to right. It was quite ugly. I liked the topic so I shared the picture to my own fanmade Dragonball Facebook page.

I woke up this morning and saw a message in my inbox from someone saying that I was promoting racism because I posted the picture. I looked, and it had gone off from the people who are liked on my page. Calling each other or me racist for the picture. I am honest enough to share my own thoughts on the question that seems to have cause such an uproar. Back in the 90's if all the characters from DBZ were black I probably would not have got buried into the show as hard as I did because the show would have had to change so many things to accommodate the change from asian characters to black characters. Now if for the most part only Goku, Gohan or Goten were black. Much of the show could have stayed the same as long as at least chi chi remained asian. I would deff got as buried into it as I did the original, if not more so since the Goku and Chi Chi dynamic would be interesting. I do think its high time they add some characters of color into the show, and hopefully Super does this. So far the only one that I can think of is Uub. Anyway I thought I would share this here and see exactly what you guys think? And be honest. Thanks for your time guys!
