USOPP ART PSA
I've seen a lot of Usopp art lately, but some artists drew him in a way I thought everyone knew was racist, so I want to explain for those who don't know. I'm not calling out anyone in particular, but I won't interact with art that portrays him this way on principle, no matter how much love goes into it.
Usopp’s lip design in the one piece anime and manga is racist. This has been said many times before. It is based on racist caricatures used to insult black people, and minstrel show makeup used to imitate them.
I don't know if Oda has spoken on this before, but I can't find anything on it if he did. I don't know his intentions with drawing Usopp like this, because he draws lips normally on characters like Kuzan, and draws loop lips on non black characters. But whatever the logic, it is best if you don't draw Usopp as a racist caricature.
Warning: Historic loop lip examples below cut
Used as examples to educate


These are examples of the type of cartoons the loop lip was used in. The design is meant to make fun of and exaggerate traditionally african facial features. It is insulting to draw black characters like this, especially when they're one of the few characters of color in the reoccurring cast.

i can’t stop thinking about adriana smith. when roe was overturned i knew things were going to get hellish but turns out 50 years of scientific innovation means an entire new branch of soul crushing horror stories are now possible. we can’t possibly keep pretending we’ve advanced gender and racial equality when we’re using a dead black woman’s body as an incubator for a fetus. a society that does that is a failed society. fuck man im trying to hold on to some measure of hope here but its so hard.

When a character who normally has a silver tongue and a quick wit is speechless.
When an expressive character who wears their heart on their sleeve goes still, face blank.
When a character who is quick to solve problems with their fists drops their hands to their side, frozen.
Just the sudden absence of something that is always there, in both the good and the bad.
Gone in an instant.

This South Korean man has been standing in front of the Israeli embassy in Seoul for over 380 days, braving the rain, cold, and loneliness — in solidarity with the Palestinian people and in protest against the genocide in Gaza.
Despite the distance and language barrier, his human conscience stands firmly with us.
Meanwhile, Sami's family in Gaza continues to endure hunger and bombing. They've lost their home and loved ones — but not their hope.
