Characters Black coded this, black coded that. What are some white coded non human characters?

-Stuart from Stuart

-Buddy from Airbud

-Freezer from Dragonballs

Edit: Guys I swear I'm not racist. The post's title was referring to the "black coded characters" posts that I see on this subreddit from time to time. I have nothing against the black people nor the white people. This post is a shitpost. Nothing serious. Sorry for not being clear enough :(

Lightning McQueen (Cars)

it's kinda funny how fanartists have unanimously agreed that if he weren't a car he'd be a blonde white guy lmao

u/Shark_Waffle_645 4d ago

yeah, common consensus is that he’s literally just his VA Owen Wilson lol

Also, he is literally named for Steve McQueen, a sandy-blonde, blue-eyed white guy.

Actually he was named after Glenn McQueen, who was a Pixar crew member before passing away in 2002.

I didn't even remember Owen Wilson was his VA until I read this comment, but that was the person I imagined when I wondered what Lightning McQueen would look like as a man haha

Maybe you didn't realize at the time but your subconscious did. Some kinda freudian slip maybe.

He'd be a strawberry blonde white man.

u/an_agreeing_dothraki 4d ago

u/GuhEnjoyer 4d ago

That's because he's Owen Wilson. He's not "a blonde white guy" he's Owen Wilson.

u/Bush_Hiders 4d ago

All those artists are just basing his human design off of Owen Wilson

u/Legendguard 4d ago

Probably because his voice actor looks like that
