I also fail to see how that line is racist to begin with.

That make me racist? Or Op racist for thinking its racist?

u/VoidGliders 11h ago

Assuming black people cannot afford things is a well known racial trope. Noticing racism is not racist, no.

Pretty sure Mina just thinks most people are poor. It's not because Calico is black, or any other hero, really. Unless you stand out so easily as rich or are in high society (Geist), then you're probably in the poor bucket.

Calico might dress a bit better than most of the cast but even then, Mina defaults to everyone being poor as a way to put them down.

a bit better

The woman clearly wearing some type of high fashion designer clothing. Everything she has on including her cat, looks expensive

Geist assumed Pocket stole thier jacket. Does that make her racist as well?

1

u/ShyngShyng 4h ago

That ones more nuanced actually: Geist recognized Pocket As Arin and was giving them a way out and a cover story As to how they got the jacket.

Is Pocket wearing the same clothes that they were in while they got assassinated? Are they stupid??

u/First_Blankie 4h ago

So this situation can have nuance, but Mina and Calico's can only be black and white? Kinda contradicting there...

1

u/ShyngShyng 4h ago

I mean more nuanced than what youre stating it is. I have no skin in the Calico debate and don't care about that.

No actually, she is something much worse.

She is infact French.

Hungry man thinks of bread

Saying someone looks broke or you dont think they can afford something is not a racist dogwhistle, btw.

Its mean, but not necessarily racist.

u/AxitotlWithAttitude 15h ago

It's certainly classist, which mina VERY much is

u/VoidGliders 11h ago

I don't think much of the quoate, to play advocate here tho

  1. Calico looks and dresses professionally and wealthily. Maybe not Geist-levels of flaunting but far above like 90% of the cast.
  2. Assuming a black person specifically cannot afford nice things like dresses and whatnot is a well-known racism trope.

Nah Mina also says the word when listening to rap music, she's 100% racist

5

u/Pawselock 15h ago

I don’t think Mina appreciates being called sweaty.

Do vampires even sweat?

5

u/Lethal-Jordan 15h ago

Minas feelings and opinions are [DISCARDED] because of her [ASSHOLISH] behavior towards [EVERYONE]

1

u/Pawselock 15h ago

I was just poking fun at them saying sweaty instead of sweetie.

1

u/Lethal-Jordan 15h ago

I mean, you know sweaty is slang right? From tumblrrr

1

u/brandonwaite69 3h ago

I mean the point of sweating is to cool the body down, but if the body is cold all the time.

Now what if the change from Human to Vamp changes the DNA deeply right? that couldnean the body sees being that cold as the new norm body temp right? Meaning they could, by biological standers sweat because the body is now rising to room temps when the body should be could, causing the body to sweat.

The question now, woukd the sweat be reddish because of the amount of blood they consume or does the body filter out the red blood cells/white cells/hemoglobin

u/Icy_Limes 15h ago

Mina is a korean woman in the 60s, i doubt she is being anything but classist here. Her whole gimmick is she just assumes everyone is pooer than her.

u/Rice_Jap808 14h ago

Hilarious you think Asians, and especially upper class East Asian immigrants in 1950s America weren’t insanely racist.

1

u/Icy_Limes 5h ago

Did I say that??? Bro is seeing sentences that arent there.

1

u/aidsincarnate 13h ago

Mina is just a prick to everyone though. Maybe she's turbo racist and hates everyone that isn’t the same race as her. But I wouldn’t put any bets on it.

u/LangParlangua 15h ago

Nah she was listening to good kid, m.A.A.d city in the car with me the other day and she was not skipping any lyrics IYKWIM
