|
because japan is in the orient, I mean, isn't it logical? they are in the far east |
|
Yes, it is logical. But this is literally Japanese manga. |
|
japanese consider themselves as being situated in the east, not officially but yeah, it's a geographical gimmick https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wa_(Japan) The earliest textual references to Japan are in Chinese classic texts. Within the official Chinese dynastic Twenty-Four Histories, Japan is mentioned among the so-called Dongyi 東夷 "Eastern Barbarians". |

It's just that I've heard more than once that the term "oriental" is considered racist these days. |

Di Maria is Argentinian, so yeah, people are evil and they love to start shit. soon enough they'll ban the word "European" too, but I'm straying |
