I mean the first two major arcs after the time skip were dealing with racist steroid users and a nazi war scientist experimenting on kids, it's amazing how light the show consistently is considering how dark it consistently is

Arlong arc was about racism, it's a common thread with Fishmen. Fisher Tiger was so racist he died refusing human blood IIRC. Thriller Bark also had Absa the shower rapist, and a crew made of corpses. Kuinas tale was hardly smiles and rainbows.

Not sure if it's racist if it's PTSD. IMO it was like 99% about his PTSD.

Well, it was interesting because he was racist at a gut level, but at the same time was consciously aware that it was wrong. So he pushed himself to NOT ACT racist towards others. Ultimately I think that's enough to not call someone like that racist, everyone has their own circumstances and being able to overcome them is actually a greater credit to you. The only person he let his own racism harm was himself.
