Oh shit, the British are invading, let's hide our historic monuments and spices before they get here

don't forget to hide the mummies from the rich people who want to grind them up and snort them

Bless you guys for this. I'm laughing my ass off.

If this is gonna be a plot point of the manga, I might suggest calling them the "black clan"/"white clan" or something even if it's technically less correct because them going on about the black people and while people is just impossibly distracting, lmao.

Though at the same time the white clan might also seem unsavory.

Yeah... unless you're aiming for peak comedy, this is an example of where literal translation falls flat on its face. I'm laughing my ass off but I don't think that's how TL wants it to read. Of course, I also laugh whenever kuro gyaru gets rendered as "Black Gal" by a translator. If you don't want to leave it in Japanese (kuro people or something) you HAVE to use more critical thought and take more creative license and sub in "Dark" for "Black" or call it "Black Hair Nation" or something else that makes marginally more sense. At least it's funny, though, unlike spamming BIG SIS whenever an onee-chan shows up (if you don't want weeb-speak, just call her by her name like an actual english speaker actually would).

This is like that episode of Goku Black xD

KANADIA HAS N WORD PASS OH LORD

 

[StrangeStripes]

Alright checked the raws and it's as translator said;
黒の民の因子を確認しました起動します (黒の民 lit. means 'black person')
白の民の侵攻は始まっている (白の民 lit. 'white people')

Lots of potential alternatives like keeping it as romanji (Kuro/kurojin and Shiro/shirojin), or using synonyms (Night, Dark, Shadow, Yang & Sun, Light, Yin etc)

 

[blackbonnie]

damn i know the comment gonna be wild, tbh this is a translator blunder

 

[thrashinuva]

This plot is a mess and I don't even think it's the translator's fault.

Touché.

 

[VISKINA]

Maybe because of this the rating is low........ Maybe.......

And suddenly, racism

 

[Kefrayba]

On one hand, Japanese society is pretty homogeneous, consists of East Asian people. Their racism and xenophobia are different from Western societies. By that I mean Japanese media handle this sort of topic poorly from outsider POV.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!

Come on translator, you knew exactly what you were doing, and I dig that about you!

Kanadia coming straight outta Wakanda!

 

[Bearman851]

Moment I read this, my brain went here:

 

[Bearman851]

(Also mixed black guy here) I was laughing so hard I choked on my coffee. Then I had to explain to the gf what was up. She did NOT find it nearly as funny as I did.

Comment section was a bit tamer than you'd think it'd be.
