Check this out - Mario is a jerk

"What if Mario isn’t the hero we all though he was? What if the adventure was all a ruse to help him achieve his own personal fiendish plot? If this cartoon holds any truth, then we are all suckers and Princess Peach may have endured unspeakable things after Mario beat that infamous 8th castle." - Eddie Vargas Str N Gaming

It's surely as simple as they're pandering to woke culture, terrified of being 'cancelled' due to racial stereotyping.

If that's the case, its pretty pathetic. It's obvious he was designed as an Italian pastiche and that's all part of the fun! If people are offended by that, that's their problem. Let them miss out on great Mario games due to their warped ideologies. They can enjoy their sanctimony instead.

There's a vocal minority that get bogged down in this kind of nonsense and we shouldn't let them ruin everyone else's enjoyment. I swear people used to be thicker skinned, these days they're just thick.

Get off YouTube and talk to people in the real world.

I dont know where people get this weird misconception that because a character is crated in a certain country, that means that is their ethnicity. He was and always has been italian.

I thought originally his mustache was supposed to be his mouth but they couldn't get it quite right. He probably was supposed to be Japanese. All I can say is “Cancelled!!!!!!!” Nice knowing you Mario!.

No he is a Japanese guy born in Italy. Who cares the games are fun to play and he is a popular character that helped put the NES on the map.
