It very much depends on how they are included. There are historical reasons why the US has a large blakc population. You can't have a large black (or white for that matter) population in a story set in, say, fantasy version of ancient China, without people asking questions of how did this population got there in the first place. But you can include a non-Asian character with a passing line about being the son of a travelling merchant from distant lands, or something like that, and it will be consistent with the worldbuilding.

Sure you could. Would be shit writing though.

It would depend on the realism and the style of the rest of the work.

I mean... if you want a cast of black people you could just, you know, not set it in ancient China.

I could or I couldn't.

That's a "first fic, be nice!" level of writing, though, unless your work is a bizzaro comedy or a children's show. There's a reason we have the word "worldbuilding", you know.
