An interesting critique of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Scar's story always made me vaguely uncomfortable, but I still liked it because he was a minority character and I felt like I could sympathize with him. And don't get me wrong, I still like FMA: Brotherhood, but it's important to be able to criticize the things ya love, y'know?

The one about racial minorities needing to change to escape persecution really gets to me.

    No because we are a glorious multicultural empire and do not bother with offensive and derogatory language such as referring to groups of people as minorities.

    Silly Theo, we don't call them that anymore. All the official documents and textbooks refer to them as friendship playgrounds now. It's a very important distinction.

    That sounds...extremely suspicious. Like some kind of masked research facilities that secretly conducts human experiments.
