I meeeeean I've always been fascinated with pre European-contact Indigenous people of the Americas buuuuut what's that got to do with Bobby not having Spanish descent but of African+European?
Eh I don't think so but even if it did, To veer off topic is to be a CBR poster lol.
Well I know that people can make it super difficult buuut Thiss isn't the case. It seems pretty cut and dry in the case of Bobby. I meeean it's Right there in print even has colorful pictures lol but for reasons beyond mh understanding People seem willing to perform amazing mental agility when it comes to minimalizing the blackness of characters :/
Uh what? Lol Brazil definitely doesn't have a racially homogenized population but because someone has various ethnic backgrounds doesn't negate the dominant one lol buuuuut With Brazil receiving about 40% of slaves during the Slave Trade.... Bobby's father coming from the flavelas where 70% of the people who live in the *slums* are Black, and Bobby being called black as a racial slur isnt credible proof for some people proves denial is strong Thinking about it The current status of his character kinda resembles colonization of Brazil itself
I mean I guess it's true... since we're talking about a fantastical work of Fiction but not following how it's because the diversity of the Brazilian population?? Plus Brazilians view race different than Americans going more so on Color than racial parentage So more frequently you'll see a family can often have members that appear to be White, Mixed, Black etc
Explain? He gets teased for being Black while playing Soccer in Rio De Janerio.... what More cultural evidence you need? Now we can't trust our eyes lol
