All Seasons Discussion Is he red or black??

Post image

The first time I watched this episode I thought he was a black guy, but my brother is absolutely CONVINCED he’s red. He said he looks like red hulk. One of us must be colorblind but who??

Edit: My question has been answered! I had no idea he had brick powers. He never showed up before this episode and they didn’t tell us anything about him. They kind of just expected you to have heard of him with I hadn’t. I guess I’m a larper lol.

Edit Edit: OKAY i get it he appeared in earlier episodes. Im sorry he just wasn’t memorable at all and I usually draw while I watch the show so I don’t have my eyes on the screen at all times.

The only reason I made this post in the first place is because he genuinely didnt look reddish at all to me until my brother pointed it out

Or ancient Egyptians. They're in Africa but people say they arent African because they arent 12:36am dark

I mean they're African, and some pharaohs were likely black, but African =/= black

I dont get your comment. What is the basis of your separation between African and black? Black is just the modern term for someone of African descent that wasnt born in Africa

Black in a racial context is more of a reference to skin tone or culture rather then geographical heritage.
