@Zik:
Sorry but nothing Luffy has done or will do really falls in line with getting rid of racism. It’s silly to pretend it does.
Sure Oda is doing that whole Luffy has those attractive qualities to change ppl or get them on his side but he’s not going to meet every single person on the planet and all the ppl to come after him.
Why does Whitebeard matter? He was no better in efforts to establish unity among all ppl. So he trusted in Luffy, so what?
If you want to work on equality among all ppl you don’t start with pirates/criminals. Hell if Jimbe just wants to get equal rights for just fish folk he’d have stopped being a pirate a while ago.
Why do you speak of the issue as if Oda is just going to sugar coat it and wrap it all up in a happy little story book ending with a bow on top? if you genuinely assume that, then with all due respect, you're probably the one gravitating close to silliness if anything, dare I say even akin to pre-timeskip Bellamy, since even Garp touched on how countries don't easily get along in politics and that just having a meeting everyone four years won't solve everything overnight. If Oda will write something like that in, then how do you think he's going to handle countering the issue of prejudice between people?
You're prob better off looking at it less as trying to get rid of racism, because in that case you might as well say trying to get rid of all murder, all theft, all poverty, all natural disasters, etc. and more like Jinbe being inspired by Otohime, Tiger, and his own experiences of wanting to bring two different peoples closer together, with the understanding that the world will always have its cruel realities. But just as it has its cruel realities, there's not shame in trying to focus on the beauty the world has to offer either.
And I admit I don't know what Jinbe plans to do alongside Luffy or how he'll even accomplish it, but I doubt that the desire of wanting to get rid of slavery and wanting more friendship between peoples isn't so fantastical that it can't be applied to real life at all, can it?
