Hi everyone,
I'm working on a project for class, and I need help!
I'm trying to figure out if racist USA stereotypes of Native Americans are popular in Japan. I've seen racist stereotypes of black people, but never of Native Americans... and yet, for my project, I see in the Japanese version of Peter Pan that it's stocked full of racist Native American stereotypes. (For example, "red man.") But, if this stereotype isn't popular in Japan, then how will the Japanese audience understand the "red man" stereotype?
What do you guys think? Is the "red mad" stereotype more understood than I think it is?
And feel free to discuss any other racist USA stereotypes seen in Japan. It's an interesting subject.
