Is it racist to not read webtoon?

Question

i usually read manhwa because the character names and places are English and easy to remember, but then there's webtoon with equally amazing stories and Chinese dramas that i can't watch because the names are weird and hard to remember. does this make me racist?

I sincerely think it’s not racism, it’s personal preferences and habits… you feel more confident in reading English translated webtoon, it’s ok to read them and no one has the right to call you racist for that. No one is meant to read easily a novel full of foreign and strange names, so no one can blame you for that.
I can say I’ve same problem with names too, since oriental names are a bit too hard to remember especially when they’re not so different from each other.

It is not racist. Since you are not able to understand and comprehend the data, there is simply a barrier, which is not under your control, hence you are not racist here.

Plus, can you tell me your favorite Manhwa comics? Mine are W, Backstreet Rookie, and some others too, but regretfully, I am not able to recall their names at this moment.🙂

Of course not. It's hard for you to remember the names and it's not like you have something against Chinese people

not necessarily, it gets easier to remember names if you do read though

Lol of course it doesn't make you racist. That's crazy talk! That's like calling someone racist if they prefer watching anime in dub instead of sub because they have trouble keeping up with the scenes and reading at the same time.

If anyone calls you out for that, they're weird.

In woke America everything and everybody can be „racist“. 🙄🙄 I have heard of university astronomy lectures that were disrupted, because certain people did not like the term „black hole“. It’s ridiculous.

All you morons out there had better look at the true meaning of "racism", which is a belief in the inherent superiority of one racial group over another such that one may control the other. Slavery and The Trail of Tears were racist by definition. I am not interested on any adds or addenda. That's it..

Nah foreign names are hard for me to remember and honestly all the webtoons or manwha I've read I just remember the characters looks not the names and use context when people are mentioning them. It's not racist lol

Why would it be? That be like me saying that those who do not watch anime are racist towards Japanese people. We all have our interest and our media preferences doesn’t mean we are racist.

That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard in the last ten minutes.

I wouldn't say that if you don't like certain things doesn't mean your rasicts

TallAnon · Answer

Nah, to each their own. I may not remember the names clearly, but that's fine if you binge them.

Racist and racium cannot exist. People who think that racism exists are hating themselves. We are people. We are humans.

OddBeMe · Answer

Dont know wtf this is. But not watching media because of character names isn't racist per se…but it’d be cool if you tried.

That's called preference.  By the way, I'm really curious, are you really bothered by your brother calling you a racist?
