::::I can't pretend that I know the answer, but I can guess that it might have something to do with the... hate to mention it, but... "WWII JAP" stereotype where they are depicted as being womanizers and having slits for eyes. I mean, it was similar to the Jynx controversy, where they deemed Jynx to be an offensive depiction of African Americans just because she had big lips and her face was black (Ironically, that was the only aspect of her body that was even black.)

:::::The Jynx thing I understand because of the whole {{wp|Blackface}} thing.  Before African Americans were allowed to be on television shows and movies white people used to paint the skin on their faces black and leave their lips.  Such an act is not tolerable in this day and age anymore.  But the Brock thing?  I would think that perpetuating a Japanese stereotype would more likely offend them, not Americans.  It's just confusing to me.  ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|<font color="midnightblue" face="comic sans ms">'''$aturn'''</font>]][[User:SaturnYoshi|<font color="green" face="comic sans ms">'''¥oshi'''</font>]] <sup>[[User talk:SaturnYoshi|<font color="maroon">THE VOICES</font>]]</sup> 15:34, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
