WHY DO WE THINK PICCOLO IS BLACK?

Piccolo's Namekian heritage, along with his stoic demeanor and fierce fighting style, has made him a fan-favorite character and an integral part of Dragon Ball Z's enduring legacy. And one of the most common things regarding Piccolo that I hear within the Dragon Ball space is that he is black, or that he acts black. And even before the world of the internet, when I was a little ass child with a big head, I use to think this as well. But why, idk about you guys but I never connected more to a DBZ character than Piccolo. And there were some DBZ characters that were actually meant to be black that I didn’t even realize were black until someone told me. Toriyama got some blood on his hands. But back to my actual questions why do we think Piccolo is black? There must be some traits that Piccolo may have that may just in full connect to black traits. So Let’s talk about it.
