I've seen comments from many people that Sazh is a stereotype. I'm not really sure how. Because he has an afro? So any black person in a game or other media with an afro is a stereotype? I don't know what else it could be. He has a black voice actor? He's reluctant to fight? I think any reasonable normal person would react the same way he does in these situations.

I think it's more racist for people to automatically brand him as a stereotype than the actual portrayal on the screen. Like all the others in this thread I think Sazh is awesome.
