The Symbolic Interpretation of Sonic the Hedgehog.
Do you see this flower?
When Americans first opened up Japan, the first import they brought was this flower, because Americans hoped to celebrate having lily-white skin on Resurrection Day. Of course, such a blunt fact is too rude to say in polite company, therefore we successfully used the symbol of a flower to convey the message.
Skin color is correlated with longitude, not latitude, because Father Time is God. And would you look at that! The Easter Lily comes from the Far Eastern subtropics {琉球列島, 中華民國}.
Because the anthropomorphs of Sonic the Hedgehog are markedly shorter than Americans, therefore the symbolic meaning of Sonic the Hedgehog is "Caucasian man, you are going to turn into a Japanese!" Which is why Japanese video game developers made it. And the hedgehog is the universal symbol for a Caucasian man, as Arthur Schopenhauer pointed out.
