112. I got Obama and Doakes, so I guess I'm not a horrible racist prick, huh? :rolls eyes: What about people in anime and manga fandoms, moron? There are a lot fewer POC in them and if you judge folks because of it, that is really uncool. >:|

aren't all anime characters japanese anyway? they're all POCs! we're safe!

Not really. First thing that jumps to mind is Apollo Justice... In the US release, most of the characters are American or German, actually.

:nervous: Don't ask me! I haven't been in an anime fandom in years! :hiiiiides:

Hey, I've got that icon too! It's the only thing keeping me out of the KKK. *nods solemnly*

Seriously, I can't even think of any black/Hispanic/whatever characters in most of my anime/manga fandoms :(

One of the characters in Beach is of Mexican descent ().

Ah, yes I know. I'm not in the Bleach fandom, though.

Ah, ok.

One of the characters in Bleach is of Mexican descent.

Don't forget Tousen! He's black :)

And Yoruichi! She's... actually, I have no idea what her ethnicity is.

For anime usually when they want to diversify a cast ethnically they'll toss a blond haired blue eyed American or European in the cast. Because blond haired, blue eyed Americans and Europeans are so exotic. Well, if you think about it, this is sort of true in Japan.

Actually, this character (RP account) is from an anime, and he's...German!

Come to think of it, my two main anime/manga fandoms are Princess Tutu and Chrono Crusade--the first is set in Germany and mostly features German characters (besides one who's arguably got some Arabic blood in him), and the other is set in 1920's America and (sadly) only features a few minor black/asian characters--most are either caucasian, or...demons, which come in a bunch of skin tones but couldn't really be considered the member of any human race.

My manga of choice is From Eroica With Love, and everyone in THAT is British, or German. (Or Laurence and James, who have got to be some form of alien life).

Most of my icons are from a band I like, too. None of them happen to be black. (*George Carlin goes here). ...their manager is black? Am I not racist if I go get a picture of their manager?

There's also Gankutsuou, which, being an adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo, features mostly French people. And Hellsing,is set in England and has mostly British and European characters. And there's also stuff like FullMetal Alchemist, which, though not set on Earth as we know it, features characters with decidedly Western names (Roy Mustang, Edward and Alphonse Elric) names.

And Hellsing,is set in England and has mostly British and European characters.

Isn't Integra at least half indian? Can't remember where I read it, though...

It was mentioned, like, once in the manga. I think it was when they showed a picture of her parents.

I can also think of Emma: A Victorian Romance (set in Britain, almost all white except for an Indian prince that has a few other Indian servants). Kaleido Star's main character is Japanese, but it's set in America and most of the characters are Caucasian.

Yeah, come to think of it, there's a good chunk of animanga characters that aren't Japanese at all. (And if they're not Japanese, they're most likely white or maybe Korean/Chinese. The lack of black characters, or other races, is even more noticeable in anime and manga than it is in American works. Although to be fair, that's partially because Japan's so homogeneous.)
