it’s not racism it’s simply discovering something new. new is always scary, especially when it comes to people.
the uncanny is this thing where you see something that looks normal but something is slightly off and it makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
so like here it would be when someone who’s only seem fair skinned people meets someone who’s darker- they just don’t seem normal to that person who’s always thought that light skinned was normal. that’s the reason people found humanoid demons so terrifying because of their human resemblance but that slight off-ness with horns or whatever.
this can happens visa vera, and works for other things like eyes. most people get shocked when they see people with lazy eyes for the first time or even something like a slightly bigger ear or different colour eyes or hair. that’s my take on the situation anyway ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
You know what sad about that chapter of her getting scared of them because of their color is that, people actually think like that. Especially Koreans, I’ve seen that happen countless time’s.
