But the Samurai is the jew of the East (Don't tell me their efforts to help destroy western morals even mkre doesn't qualify them for that title) and blacks fear the whites

I thought they did that on their own to safe money.

Mmh... and remember when some anime and even games would white-lift a black character because the Japanese made him look too blackface-y? Imagine if SJW companies did the opposite to fill diversity quotas (aka "Now Goku/Naruto/Luffy is brown!")
Luffy is some kind of islander shitskin. Which makes sense because the era is loosely based on the real-world great era of piracy in the Caribbean. Names like Portgas D. Ace are references to Portugal, etc.

Fishmen are an analogue to the black slaves trade which was booming at the time. You have slavery still in place in the one piece world, but also free islands of former slaves and such where violent militants have taken control and push anti-human bigotry. Hody and Arlong's racism against humans is a direct analogue to the way freed black slaves might have seen white people, although of course freed slaves weren't 200x the strength of white people. :lol:
Oda answered in 2015 what real nationality the Strawhats would be in real life: Luffy = Brazilian, Zoro is Japanese (Duh), Nami is Swedish (?!), Usopp is African (no African country was specified when he wrote it down), Sanji is French, Chopper is Cucknadian, Robin is Russian, Franky is American and Brooke is Australian.
Some of the villains are based on real life pirates, related figure and other fictional characters

So what you're saying is that Luffy ate the HUE fruit.

No, he already was a HUE

Also the three admirals (aka those fucking tall guys working for the Marine) are based on IRL actors AFAIK. And several pirates are based on anything from wrestlers to Michael Jackson.

I am aware about that, but I'm talking about stuff like that happening in translation.

You know, some Western manga and/or anime publisher turning a bit too SJW and starting to "darken" characters.

I guess 4kids was sorta right in giving Sanji his obnoxious french accent.

Probably helped that he's a cook (stereotyping and all) and that most - if not all - of his attacks are in French (which I never bothered to remember even though he's one of my faves among the Straw Hats).

A lot of them (pre-timeskip at least) sounds like they are named after different cuts of meat like Côtellete (rib) and Basse Côte (Shoulder roast)

Most of the names of attacks in one piss are made up or sound made up. Sanji's shit is just all kicks with a random generator name assigned to them. Usually some combination of french food names with a body part. Diable jambe is the only one I remember that is an actual move which looks distinct.

Same applies for Zoro. He has a bunch of names for his shit, most of which are comedic or references ("onigiri" "rashomon" etc), and they all look mostly the same on the page with a couple of exceptions.

Hell, most named attacks in general in one piece are references or jokes.
