I've been a "stan" for years, and always talked about this character design as the real 'CISM.
people talking about Mister Popo being a sambo, but the actual Black characters had Jay-Z lips and shyt. Commander Black even got changed into a light skin dude with a curly mustache when they retold the Red Ribbon Army era shyt. The character "Killer" in DBZ in the Buu Saga looked like Balrog/M. Bison with Draymond lips....
still like the show despite the 'CISM, and while Saiyans are pretty nikka-adjacent, Piccolo is absolutely Black (they should use the dude from WeeklyTubeShow to play his and Kami's voices like he does in the parodies)
