Taking an evolutionary anthropology class has made me hate Netflix DMC's use of demons as a metaphor for different races even more
RACE IS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT! DIFFERENCES IN PHYSICAL FEATURES ACROSS DIFFERENT POPULATIONS VARIES WIDELY EVEN WITHIN ONE ETHNIC GROUP, AND THEY ARE NOT EXCLUSIVE TO SPECIFIC PEOPLES! HOW WE CLASSIFY RACE IN ONE COUNTRY ISN'T GOING TO BE THE SAME IN ANOTHER!
BY TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT DEMONS ARE A SUBSPECIES OF HUMAN, YOU END UP REINFORCING THE IDEA THAT DIFFERENT RACES ARE INFACT BIOLOGICALLY DESTINED TO BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY TO THE "DEFAULT"! YOU CANNOT MAKE AN ANTI-RACISM METAPHOR USING AN IDEA THAT HAS BEEN USED TO ENFORCE RACISM

Also, just saying, if you've only seen trigun stampede (or trigun 98 for that matter) you are DEEPLY missing out on the manga's artstyle. it is pure visual ecstacy. If the words "Biomechanical" and "Angellic" mean anything to you on an aesthetic level, you with be frothing at the mouth at least once every few chapters.
Here's a collection of some of my favourite panels.
Thank you and goodnight
