yup, racist. selective, yes. it's what i'd like to call 'selective xenophobia' about us. particularly holding a discriminatory attitude towards sri lankans and bangladeshis. 'bangaalhi' itself is a demeaning term. maybe our superiority complex is at work here. a little while ago i wrote a post blasting this attitude...
I hope you are aware of the irony that you used pink colour and a flower to make one of the characters appear feminine. Isn't that stereotyping?
neway, so far I am enjoying your comic... not seen anything like this (not counting Bulhaa's Blobs & Woody) done by Maldivians before. You guys should collab.
