    He’s not white, but other than that, I thought these points were obvious. You’re not supposed to like him.

      He’s not white, but he is the equivalent. Also a son of a cop, and Japan still also has very racist and colorist views. In comparison it works.

        i think the creator of this meme (not me if that wasn’t obvious) made a mistake in that it was actually L who was coded to be white:

        When asked about L’s ethnicity, creator of the series Tsugumi Ohba responded, “I think of him as a quarter Japanese, a quarter English, a quarter Russian, a quarter French or Italian, like that.” fandom

    I don’t think he was ever supposed to be considered a role model. Sort of like Tyler from Fight Club.
