It may or may not fit your bill, but try Michiko to Hatchin. The setting is vaguely Central/South America (made up country iirc), with a mixed cast (some caucasian, but mostly mixed poc). If you ever saw Samurai Champloo, dug the art style even, I definitely recommend it, as well as for the story that is basically sisterhood.

DA

thanks for the rec, checked out the artwork (loved samurai champloo) definitely diggin it.

I'm always curious as to how people from different countries deal with different cultures/their portrayals of them. I'm not brazilian (i'm latinamerican/caribbean), but i'd like to see how this pans out.

God, I hate that "POC" has become a "safe" stand in for people of *all* races but white. It was actually the term used instead of migrants/minorities/non-whites IN A PREDOMINANTLY WHITE COUNTRY. People in Central/south america would just be natives, black, or hispanic. Or you could say that "only few characters are white". But I just want to bang m head on a wall everytime I hear people go "in S.AMERICA/AFRICA/ASIA (Japan, Ive heard often), most people are POC". NO, they are not minorities that share common background or experience of racial discrimination at the hands of white people. They are on their home turf, where their skin color doesn't NEED to be the "other" to white. They are the mainstream, the majority, the default.

This isn't meant to be personal. It just bugs me that people in general nowadays use the term this way.

It's okay. I sympathize mostly when it's people calling live-action media made in countries that aren't predominantly white as "it's poc!" brownie point material.

Since I'm talking about an anime, whose creators are in turn Japanese, and in turn casting Japanese voice actors for these roles, it's an exception in part for having characters who aren't clearly Japanese in a Japanese setting. I wouldn't be using, let's say, K-ON as an example of something so remarkable for not having white people. It doesn't make sense.

Although, half the folk in the particular show I recced have names like Michiko, or Satoshi Batista for instance, so I find it hard to point out that someone is exactly anything other than vague something similarish or inspired.

"poc" "brownie point"

unfortunate

Yeah I agree with you. As a non-white person it kind of makes me feel like I'm being pidgeon holed into some catch all misc. group for "others".
