[QUOTE="Panda-s1, post: 8031697, member: 59554"] sounds like the solution here is, unless you have a very good reason, to not ask people where they're from. yo, context. you're talking about a small town where as you said a lot of people themselves aren't from. OP is talking about how a lot of Asian people will get asked where they're from apropos of nothing other than the fact they look Asian. I personally haven't dealt with this, I'm only half Asian and people tend to get very confused when on the subject of what my ethnic background might be, but it's not hard to understand how this might make others feel alienated. speaking of garbo fantasy anime, while I never did watch the whole thing I did appreciate Breakout Company and how the main protagonist, hamfisted as it was, used the petty discrimination he received for being a nerd to become angry over systemic racism. so, they should be able to read it... just because? we're 35 years detached from when it was first published, nowadays you can go on the DM's Guild or any number of websites and find better setting books themed around Asian cultures. they might not even be written by Asian authors, but at least now there's an increased likelihood they used better, more balanced resources than anything that was available in 1985. also going to the store page I see comments like this: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1594166179619.png"]123521[/ATTACH] tell me, who is it that will be served if they decide to keep selling the book? mmmmm, no, they really should stop selling it. also they just slapped that paragraph at the bottom of the description. most people won't even see that disclaimer when they come to buy the book. how is that effective?
