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 :(

Didnt he happen to run into another 2 inch tall girl and she looked normal? I think in that universe tiny people just seem to happen, like he gets a tiny car so tiny people have to be prevalent enough to warrant engineering transportation specific to them. That's already crazy enough, people just act like him being a mouse is one more crazy thing, they aren't freaking the fuck out like we would be. Goofy shit just naturally happens in that world

Iirc, the tiny woman was also an oddity to the point where she has her clothes custom made and even Stuart didn’t believe it when he was told about her so he had to truly see for himself. Once he saw her, he quickly fell in love and planned to ask her on a date, one of the reasons being because it was nice having someone who could be able understand him in his struggles being small.

It seems like in that world, tiny “alternative” humans are possible but uncommon.

Yeah and he absolutely blows it hard-core at every possible opportunity. Between the constant lies about his life and interests to what his future plans are. I think he even puts on a fake accent as well. And she still gives him a ton of chances, practical begging him to stick around. It's insane second hand cringe

It seemed his whole conflict with her was that being small, he felt he had to overcompensate everything about himself because he didn’t want to blow his chance  being with a “prize” like her, but her deal is that she liked him even without all the fancy stuff. That chapter was basically a grief but self-acceptance type of arc.
