It's merely what I was told. Something about how Who Killed Captain Alex was well-received in the country and was the origin of the meme. The person who told me this is very well-versed in racial matters and is pretty liberal, so I don't have any reason to not trust her on this. But I don't care about the meme whatsoever so I don't actually have a horse in the race of whether it's racist or not.

People discussing whether the meme is racist or not is the better meme though honestly

The meme is sort of annoying, but Devil Artemis delivery did it for me. Besides, I had to watch it just to understand what the people are rambling about.

[up][up][up] It's not the origin of the meme. It's one of the sources.

We've also got commentators on the Swedish streamer Forsen's channel, who have a running joke of Ugandan warriors, and we've got a non-Ugandan youtuber who pretends to be an African drug lord in online games and repeats many of the lines from Captain Alex.

Besides, there is only one line that appears to be directly inspired by Captain Alex (the 'knowing the way' line) and the clicking/spitting is just stereotypes.

I find the delivery of the "do you know de way" lines to be pretty funny. Maybe it's mildly "racist", but it's not racist enough for me to get worked up over.

By the way, today's episode revealed Jiren's backstory... but not how he got so strong. And I hardly doubt just doing the usual training was enough to go above god level.

So... Jiren's backstory was not very interesting. Why was Frieza so angry at Jiren, what did he do to him? Without harping on it, I do have to mention how funny it is they don't even pretend that Vegeta isn't going to need a break after apparently using up all his energy. Just go back to Super Blue like two seconds after coming out of the creator.

So, is 17 going to be the new Hit, where people keep believing he isn't really knocked off. Because they kinda just assumed he blew himself up. Also, Freeza really shouldn't still be in this.

@LSBK: I was confused by Frieza's anger at first too, but going back to the last episode the last we saw of Frieza was him getting blasted by Jiren.

Also, was Jiren just straight up trying to kill them? Because that's the impression I was getting. And again, they were blatantly flying this episode. I kind of wish someone didn't remind me they weren't allowed to do that, because now it's really jarring to me.

I find something darkly hilarious that after everything 17 still planned to use the Super Dragon Balls to wish for his fucking boat.

I just pretend like all those rules were just something i imagined in my head. Literally all of them have been broken with 0 penalty.

Actually jiren never stated what his wish was, ironically enough. I wonder who was this evildoer who killed all Jirens friends. And I wonder if he ever killed him.

I still doubt that’s gonna happen. The whole point of the tournament was to lower the number of universes. It’s more likely to just wish back the people and planets, but all in Universe 7. At least that’s what I see happening.
