How Steven Universe can be translated to social justice issues

 


              In May of 2013 many things happened Aaron Paul from "Breaking Bad" got married, Longshot Oxbow won 138th which congrats, I guess (that horse was slaaacking) but also Steven Universe was released on the 21st. It was like Chowder, Adventure Time, and Star vs. the forces of evil had a magical baby. It also helped that it was the brainchild of Rebecca Sugar like yes, please! If you have not seen Steven Universe go watch it, like now. Gooooo!!!!! Okay let's continue; between fusion, the off colors, the diamonds, and Rose Quartz we'll talk about it all. Keep in mind though if there is anything I don't touch on or you disagree with you can comment down below.
 
          Steven Universe on the surface seems like a regular kids cartoon however it really translates to all age groups. The first thing we're going to brush on is fusion. Gems are looked down on for fusing, it is also seen as taboo. Bottom line it is not allowed between gems of different cuts for example Ruby and Sapphire. I interpreted this to interracial relationships, when african-american people would be in relationships with white people it was loooked at as taboo. There was the same animosity towards many other races however in America it was predominantly  african-american people in couples with white people that would be discriminated against especially because many people were still angry about integration.
