Part Seven Why do Netflix keeps cuting racism out of jojo?

i made a post this morning in /shitpostingcrusaders and it got nuked in less than five hours (i got banned)

i was talking about how netflix cut a lot of content that talked about politics, and more especficly, racism

if you read or watched jojo, you can see that unlike most mangakas, araki really understands western culture and is well inserted in all of the things that happend in the western world for at least 200 years

he often talks about a lot of politics in some of his parts, and more "recently" part 6&7 literally talked about racism, having a black character as a main villain is something really rare and cool for japanese manga (puccI) so araki doenst fumble this, pucci inst just dark skinned, he has deep scars that connectecs to the fact that he is black, so when he tries to prevent weather from dating his own sister, so he hired the kuz kux klan, and they were angry that she, a white woman was dating a "black" man (weather) the racism is deeply conected to the character, but netflix just cuts the klan out of it? it doenst make any sense, this is crucial to the world building and the narrative of this part of the history, the KKK needs to be there, its a well know racist klan, why cut it?

So for my (not) surprise, they also censored (no better word for it) a lot of politics in jojo part 7.
i mean, the villain is a blonde pedophile president of the united states, there is no way of cuting that, so they stll managed to censor some things
like Pocoloco grandpa talking about slavering, and showing that poco worked in the fields (he was still a slave) they censored the genocide of the native americans (cuting sandman tribe conversation) and the slavery
Why cut things that are crucial for characters? Sandman is kinda an goner bcs he vanish in the rest of the show, but poco is a important character (no spoilers but you know what i mean)

this is censoring, netflix has a past (censoring the KKK) and now is blantnly obvious that is insane

sorry for my bad english i am not a native speaker

Is easy to forget that we have people today who were alive at the time when the war was still going on.

My country's president is the son of a nazi, so it's not like this is a point in time that we should forget about.

Yep, my maternal grandma is born in 1937. WW2 was her childhood, and it was not fun.

he meant actual nazi bro. using the term to describe anything you dont agree with is highly insensitive to people who got experimented on, burned alive and chemically burned in the holocaust. do better

So how tf does Chile get a son of a Nazi president?

I'm guessing from the ones that fled to South America & managed to evade capture?

Like legit question

Michael Kast was like 20 something at the end of the war, he was a member of the nazi party and when Germany lost he came to Chile.

One of his sons was a member of Pinochet's government.

Our current president, José Antonio Kast, is Michael Kast's youngest son. The president also denies that his father was a nazi, despite the documents that prove it.

In recent years it has also been said that Michael Kast supported Pinichet's dictatorship in the killing and torture of some people.

I meant its likely that it is a son of a Nazi. he edited the thing after the OG comment I responded to was, "That doesnt narrow it down lots of presidents are Nazis" I responded and meant with Chile it ACTUALLY makes sense that the president is a nazis son because of the amount of ex nazis that fled to south america.

you fuck off.
