Brock might be half black but he's definitely got some Asian in there. So he's kinda probably disqualified. Good point though.

Popo is a racist depiction of a black man. It's just like the first generation of Jynx. No one can possible be that black!

It's not like Japan is exposed to what we are exposed to. I mean, Americans are usually blond, and insane in thier cartoons.

Haha, how the f**k is the ad on VGF so accurate? It morphs to whatever the topic is about! Blackpeoplemeet.com? I'll make a topic about "absolutely free money" or "hot ass women who want to give you money now".

I don't recall his name but one of the Sound 4 in Naruto was black, granted he died but still.

I honestly don't see much to complain about. The topic itself isn't particularly derogatory or anything, it's just observing that Anime tends to ignore darker folks unless they want to throw in a stereotype.

As for that picture, I just thought it would be hilarious to do a crappy recolor of Goku as though he were "black". Partly because it seems racist to expect the Japanese to see any importance in depicting blacks in their shows, and it shouldn't have any effect on the plot. So why make a fuss? It's not like Anime is somehow socially relevant in the west. Most of the adult oriented, reality-driven shows usually take place in Japan. It wouldn't be logical for many blacks to appear in an eastern-located show.

The Japanese also aren't especially racially sensitive - their country never bothered to enslave legions of kidnapped africans like the US, so there were no post-war segregation issues or prejudices.

How many Italians do you see in Anime? Or Egyptians? Or Indians? Or Native Americans? How about the Polish? Hungarians? French?

Why bother making the differentiation between people, when you're not even writing for an external audience?
