Wakka is the best character, discuss

[Pete for President]

Wakka being racist is no reason one wouldn't be able to relate to him. We're all racist in one way or another.

You're kidding right ? We are not all racists. smurf.

I've had enough. I'm so out of this thread. If you like Wakka fine, but imo these are retarded reasons for supporting his character.

Not kidding. And I would appreciate if you would try to understand just how far Spira's issues resemble that of Earth. We can't help that racism still exists; it's an issue of society that has yet to be solved. Racism happens in a lot of different degrees, but the most extreme degree is probably what you have in mind right now and Wakka is borderline in that area. Lesser degrees for example are the ginger kid not getting picked in gym class, not daring to look the homeless person in the eye, judging when someone works at McDonalds and I'm pretty sure everyone judges by the looks, probably even you. That is a form of racism most of us don't even realize. It's non-hostile, but it's there.

We can't help it; it's all in the way we are brought up. Another example; I live in a city of which 50% is not native Dutch and I have always been to schools where all cultures are accepted. Yet all my friends are Dutch. I don't think I'm racist, yet why don't I have multicultural social contacts? I don't know. Makes you wonder if racism is built in, right? Even on a non-hostile level.

On a sidenote, the Al Bhed aren't the only ones being looked down upon. Even the Crusaders get their fair share of being treated differently because of their views.

Edit: forgot to relate this post to Wakka; he is a perfect example of how even a die-hard racist can turn himself around when the truth is revealed and his initial source of being racist is proven wrong.
