Attack on Titan draws great parallels to our reality.

In this story there’s a race called the Eldians who generally have lighter coloured eyes and hair.

They’re genetically unique and essentially gifted for reasons I won’t explain here, but thanks primarily to weak leadership in their own ranks, they’ve ended up being conquered and brainwashed into believing they’re a race of devils, responsible for all war and suffering in the past. 

Their own history is hidden from them with lies and misinformation, and their memories are altered to make them easier to control. 

Many of them believe in the version of history they’ve been fed by their oppressors and strive to make amends by serving a foreign nation called Marley.

They try to become honoured and respected by the foreign Marlians who openly despise them, by fighting against their own people.

They regularly inform on each other to the Marlian state. If any Eldian Nationalism starts to rear its head, Eldians who report it or work towards thwarting it are rewarded with status by the Marlian government.

In the story, all nations of the world are loosely united by their fear and hatred of the Eldians, the devil race who they hold responsible for all historical woes –yet among this union there’s a conspiracy to steal & make use of Eldian talents.

Plans to enslave and even castrate all Eldians are cooked up by influential characters in the story, who are motivated by strong anti-Eldian racism disguised as some twisted brand of ‘social justice’.

Can you think of which race the Eldians might represent in the real world?
