@Talismaster Some people see Robert as a white name. Meaning it came from white culture. Its blended into American culture and now it can be a name for an 'anyman' who I would say most people imagine a person named "bob" as some plain white dude (obviously based on nothing but my own experience, but I'm sharing it so at least you see another POV, so its fine if you disagree). imo seeing something as something belonging to a culture isn't wrong. Robert came from Germanic roots (Hrodebert) -> Old English ("The Normans introduced this name to Britain, where it replaced the Old English cognate Hreodbeorht. It has been a very common English name since that time." [1]) -> Immigrants & settlers go to america, later brings black people as slaves) -> Slave owners named robert & slaves named robert by their owners[2] -> Non-slave owning white people and the freed slaves who now are free and have the name robert -> Cultures start to merge internationally and now white people, black, and people around the world are named robert. But it came from Europe, the which is like the whitest.

My point is, I don't think its wrong to think of Robert or Bob as a white name as colored people have only had the right to name themselves that for 100+ years vs white people who have had it since the middle ages.

I saw that you didn't think it was cool, but all he did was say that he associates Robert/Bob as a white name, so seeing the only black dude I've seen in a manga (as in just a human being that was black and acknowledged that they have a culture, not a tan side character) in months called bob is a little ironic to me. The punchline is a reference to something a lot of people in black families and who know/been to black BBQs know. So I think him being named Bob either is mangaka trying to be ironic, or is just an 'everyman' for a foreigner/ African-American [3]

edit: took me half an hour! so I hope civility can happen, cause the mention of race on the internet, especially this demographic, can get ugly. I thought " hey , i have that opinion, is it wrong? Thinks about it..."nah i dont think so , but I don't want to fight on the internet anymore, let me try to civilly explain my thought process behind what I assumed was an innocuous view of that.....after research & sources"

South African here with a quick heads up. Now some of you may be asking (well, more like crying out) "Why well-done!!?" And the fact is it comes down to two very simple things:

1) On this side of the world, generally the meat is cooked the moment the animal is slaughtered. This is usually due to a gathering of some sort or that one specific part of the animal is needed for either a ritual or medicinal purposes (such as the intestines of a goat to be cleaned and cooked for an expecting mother, since goats eat a lot nutritious wild herbs). Often, this leads to bloody meat and since a large number of people, raise their livestock in a traditional manner (wild grazing and free-roaming) this can be a very dangerous thing to ingest. So they are cooked through. Leftover scraps of meat are dried in the sun with some salt sprinkled on them and maybe whatever spices one has on hand. The same thing goes for game meat as well, when its killed and edible, it's immediately processed and the meat that spoils the fastest are immediately cooked and eaten. The fact is, a lot of people here are raised with a "Bloody meat = Dangerous and inedible" mindset.

2) The other reason is, well, cost. Meat that's been aged, and thus safer to consume rare to medium rare are expensive to buy if available at a market.

So yeah, hopes this answers some questions for some of you wondering.

Imagine living in a country that won’t let you grill outside

Lol I read the comment after a few hours and I see the racist triggered people and I face palmed at times.

I'm asian but I don't think saying nigger is racist. For me it's more like saying "dude". I grew up watching some black people movies, maybe the Wayan brothers' here and there and also pot movies... I dunno, the term carries meaning like "bruh" for me and no moment in this manga so far is more appropriate than our new friend Bob here.

I wish people stops getting triggered so much on the internet.

Also I like my meat well done. Cooked slowly long enough that you can pull the meat off the bone, yummy

 

[dootgoesnoot]

The amount of comments that consists of paragraphs disturbs me

 

[SuppeBargeld]

@Lotvk if you're not living in the middle of nowhere that's a reasonable thing. The Smoke will quickly get someone to call the fire department.

 

[Flavor25]

@saredesu “nigger” is racist. As racist as it gets. “Nigga” on the other hand is more like bruh. It’s all about the hard R.

 

[saredesu]

@Flavor25
They all sound the same when spoken.
Let's just chill and have fun

I writin' this review while I jsut only read 25 chapters but keep in mind I just wanted to promote the good stuff bro'.

So do you wanna' read a good comic about a badass main hero who also unique and funny?
Then this is your manga! meet Immortal Tatsu the ex-yakuza who will make you laugh.

Long story short this is a really fuuny story about an ex-yakuza whose livin' his everyday live now as a full time husband in his unique way.

As far as I see every chapter is a little story ( you know 1 chapter=1 episode kinda way )

You will enjoy it. Guaranteed.

10/10 (funny, good art style, likeable characters)

Would recommend for everyone.

 

[talisay999]

bob u pussy ass eat it raw then

 

[Mitsuboshi]

@saredesu r u stupid? Ur Asian and don't feel like nigger is racist? So it's okay to say it. If saredesu doesn't think it's offensive nobody can find it offensive guys

 

[TheStuffedUnicorn]

@saredesu bro wtf? no. I know so many asian people like you that say nigger with an R like its a joke. Like you may not be called out directly, but asians have crazy silent biases towards black people. You saying nigger cause you saw black people say it in a movie is immature and i know some people who would slap the taste out of your mouth if you said that shit to them. So if you don't take it seriously, whatever, but respect other people's boundaries.

You sound like a kid the way you right, so maybe you haven't met enough people with different views that actually take shit seriously, instead of trying to meme everything and LUL at peoples ideal instead of having any yourself. Because you think you're better? Apathy doesn't make you more mature and above the actual differences between people who take their culture and identity lightly.

Hopefully, you'll grow out of that. And if you are grown, look up and try to learn why people feel some type of way about something culturally important to them.

And no. NIGGER and Nigga do not sound the same in conversation. Like fuck out of here, no. Youre saying nigger, and that's just middle school immature nonsense from people who think cause they listened to Eminem that they're hood.

Guys, the thing about Bob not eating rare beef is based on a real life celebrity in Japanese showbiz.
His name/ alias is Bob. He is a huge, muscular, menacing guy but his personality is very timid and that give a gap in appearance and personality. Take in mind this may all be an act.
And there were many reality video with him came to old, traditional ryoukan, restaurant, etc. in Japan causing the old (or the type who is not watching/ knowing recent stuffs showbiz) managers there to worry about how to serve this sudden black guy then bursted out laughing because after paying Bob chickened out and could not try the stuffs.
Just so you know.

 

[Redice]

@TheStuffedUnicorn Not all, since the dawn of the internet, but a lot of Asians think of "nigger" like it's nothing because it IS nothing. A lot of asians got enslaved for centuries in their own land and they don't have such special word to flex such victim privileges, because it's stupid and not needed.

And yes, nigger is such a weak word cause because it's being used like nothing by the same people getting offended by it. It's the very definition of stupid.
