Is Barret racist in FF7?

Whether Barret Wallace is "racist" in Final Fantasy VII (FF7) is a complex and debated topic, with many arguing his character design and speech patterns in the original English localization lean into harmful Black stereotypes (loud, aggressive, AAVE/ "ebonics"), while others see him as a complex, loving father figure whose tough exterior is a mask, a positive Black character whose portrayal transcends stereotypes, or even a nod to Asian mythological figures, with the Remake series largely expanding his depth to counter early criticisms.
