Final Fantasy X - Wakka found out Rikku is an Al Bhed

Wait... Sir Auron isn't Al Bhed too, is he?

Grand Wizard Wakka at his finest moment.

[Lowtierdadproductions]

Me:Wakka eat a snickers...
Wakka:Why should I ya?!
Me:Because you get a little racist when you're hungry.

[Angi_]

this shows Rikku is probably one of the most rational in the game....

[OutlawMantis]

Fun fact: Wakka's voice actor is Bender's

"BITE MY SHINY YEVON ASS... ya?"

[carebear]

Yuna: My pilgrimage ends with the Final Summoning

Wakka: Did someone say Final Solution?!

[TheFifthWill]

To Wakka's defense, she did attack him with the Extractor and was willing to leave him underwater once he was dead/unconcious.

[freakhead]

Wakka is such a well realized character and a true example of how to write a racist with a believable redemption, plus a perfect scenario as to why that racism exists with tons of context of how it affects everyone, the writing in FFX is just too good

[ShadowFeline]

Nice of Auron to change the subject to stop the arguing and Lulu stating that Rikku did nothing wrong.

[Kao]

I'm just saying brudda, it's not too late to enact my own final...fantasy...ya ?

[ftkop]

it's cold af and they're barely wearing clothes

I bet a lot of people hate Wakka for this, but I have to commend the writters for actually having the balls of making one of the main characters racist. In every other fiction, racism is portrayed as a villain exclusive trait since "racism = evil"; the heroes are NEVER even a little bit discriminatory even when it WOULD make sense contextually (like when the rest of the society and even the family that raised them have such views) like it does here. Good guys always just happen to be the politically correct few due to the authors fear of being offensive. This is more realistic, showing that a good person at heart is not perfect and can still have some hurtful prejudices. Hell, even Wakka's hate is not even as simplified and cliched as hating Al Bhed just for being Al Bhed, but for the things they actually do.

"THEY TOOK OUR JERBS"

- Wakka

[thefoxoflaurels]

It's really interesting that Rikku and Wakka are very similar people: playful, laidback, will give you the shirt off their back with no hesitation, honest to the point of fault. They're probably the most alike characters in the party. He's kinda like Rikku's cool uncle. But Rikku coming from a culture based on scientific progress and social liberty and Wakka comes from one based around faith and tradition really does show how much personal values inform a person. Wakka's wrong - about basically everything - and eventually he'll realize this. But once he goes through the healing process of realizing his moral core is flawed and based on lies they basically continue where they left off. Oppressive social structures treat real people as hypotheticals and oddly enough he was able to befriend an Al Bhed without knowing. His stereotypes and oppressive beliefs really do supersede his ability to think and act for himself. And he seems to know this. "I wish you told me she was from a race(?) I'm supposed to hate so I didn't use my intrinsic compassion and friendliness that makes me a good dude on her"

[melodeath]

Final Fantasy more like Final Solution am I right brudda

[TK-rdyn]

A lot of you are missing the bigger picture. Al bhed are living in a theocracy in which they are hated for being non-believers, but there is a deeper story than just that.

Wakka has been shown throughout the story to be a kind person, but a strong devotion to a dogma (in this case religion) can make good people think and do bad things. Yevon uses this to discourage their followers from coexistence with those who could make them question their beliefs. This lack of coexistence, as well as Yevon’s teachings make the Al bhed very effective scapegoats. Yevon uses them as such very effectively, and this strengthens Yevon’s grip on power, which is their true motive.

There are three important lessons to be learned here:

Judge people as individuals and never as groups.

Be suspicious of anyone who is trying to scapegoat groups of people.

Never trust a theocracy.

[LustInferno]

Is sir auron an al bhed too ?!?! - wakka

[silencedplayer]

How could I forget that wonderful lips-voice coordination!

[DavethePrinny]

ARE YOU ALL AL BHED?
AM "I" AL BHED?!?

[MTTT]

When Wakka says, "Well then you tell me, where did Sin come from?" Rikku should have responded with, "Why don't you tell me where Yevon came from?"
