In this critical episode of Nani Talks, we connect the dots between the current political climate and the culture we love. The mandem are having the necessary conversation about how the new presidency's stance on DEI is already having a chilling effect on diversity and representation in media.

The "Caucasion Black Panther" controversy isn't a random event; it's a symptom of a larger issue. We use this as a jumping-off point to dissect the underlying racism that has existed in anime for years. We're breaking down the uncomfortable truths, from Frieza's use of the word "monkey" in Dragon Ball Z to the disturbing pattern of Zorro's opponents in One Piece.

This isn't a coincidence; it's a consequence. We explore where these themes stem from and what the future holds for representation in a world where diversity initiatives are under attack. Join us for a deep, unfiltered, and essential discussion.
