Chani being barely a shade darker than Paul is very sus to me

Tbf to them that’s just how anime be. Come to think of it, Naruto was actually insanely woke in its anime time for having actually black characters (even when it made the most prominent one a rapper), that’s something even the otherwise wildly leftist Ghibli works tended to avoid. Though I think you could argue that characters like San from Princess Mononoke are inclusive of indigenous Japanese groups in a way that’s both underacknowledged and more relevant to daily Japanese life.

The eyes are also white rather than blue. This was mentioned a few times in the books. I haven’t seen the movies so this might be a criticism of both.
