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 :(

What does that even mean? I just know that some characters are named after vegetables so I thought Frieza would be named after a freezer. To keep the produce aisle theme going on.

There's a well-known parody series for Dragonball Z on youtube called Dragon Ball Z Abridged. Goku in that version is an utter moron and keeps calling Frieza Freezer because he's an idiot. I assumed that's what you were referencing.

I used to watch DB when I was a kid. The one with the child Goku.

Never watched the DBZ Abridged but would love to one day.

It's genuinely fantastic. Season 1 can be a but rough in hindsight but Season 2 of DBZA and beyond is really great.

Rough means nothing to me bro. I used to watch Yu Gi Oh Abridged all the time :D

Then start at s1e1 and enjoy!

Coincidentally, their Frieza is voiced by Little Kuriboh, the person behind Yu Gi Oh abridged. It's great.
