008's appearance is actually normal for how they drew Black people in comics and cartoons back then this was normal until the late 70's or 80's when they took on a more proper standard

Yeha about that it was probably due to cultural ignorance, I doubt Ishinomori had racist intentions in this, the character is a well developed one and is actually a serious character and not even an American., and the message was one of peace, if anything it was due to him using American art styles... so yeah.

Times have changed.

The funny thing is of the three most stereotypical ones, 5 6 and 8 when they remade the show 8 was the only one that got updated by which I mean they made his lips normal sized but 6 still has squinted eyes and 5 still always has war paint on. funny to me and I'm native american

[ValkyrieSniper]

ZELO ZELO NEIN!

@Accessoftheblue and this is the only anime to raise the issue of discrimination of Native Americans (No.5 can't find job because of his race). AND It's in 60s.

@Eoinposse Anime goes as far back to the 1950's. Manga even further, so yeah, it's not a new thing. Though you could mistake them as american cartoons since that's what they looked like back then.
