The cast of Netflix's One Piece has come out in support of their co-star Charithra Chandran, who is receiving racist abuse after the release of One Piece season 2's first teaser. The actor, who is set to debut as Nefertari Vivi (aka Miss Wednesday) in the upcoming season, shared some of the hateful comments on social media, prompting the rest of the cast to stand by her.
"Perceived "canon" does not excuse blatant racism or hate of any kind. I am beyond proud of our show, our cast, and the opportunity we have to bring to life a story centered around a diverse found family – by an equally diverse found family," shared Emily Rudd, who plays Nami in the show, on her Instagram stories.
