It's funny how Thomas Astruc clings on the fact that ChloĂŠ is racist by the fact that in Kung Food she said she likes sushi and they had to correct her on the fact that sushi is Japanese and not Chinese (like Mari's uncle) and then they akumatized a Chinese man and made him a reference to a Japanese character??? (And also in season 6 Tomoe's Peacock outfit is, like, a clusterfuck of asian stuff but I don't really know since I am really ignorant about that, I still liked it not knowing anything about asian cultures but that is beside the point)
By this standard, Astruc is just as racist as ChloĂŠ.
You can't really say that it's because she bullies Marinette, she bullies literally everyone in her class (or city) regardless of gender, race and sexuality. She just goes against Marinette more because she's known her for longer, sees her as below her (as the daughter of a baker, her father's side is the problem to her, she's classist,not racist lmao), and has recently became competition for Adrien's attention. (I'm talking about seasons 1-5 and not counting the travesty that was Derision as canon).
In conclusion, ChloĂŠ sees everyone below her, she literally hates everyone equally and her hate is not racially motivated, she's classist (still a bad thing btw, I am not excusing her)
And I'm saying that she's not racist simply because we were never shown she was racist in the show. Astruc can say whatever he wants on Twitter, a casual watcher wouldn't know it. I shouldn't have to give my information to Elon Musk to know more about this kids' show.
Is she ever was racist on camera let me know, but she is at worst ignorant for what we are shown.
