This is a blatant lie. The closest thing anime fandom does to demanding more black characters is racebending characters in fanart, and that's usually because they want to experiment with what the character would look like if they were black. It's downright disingenuous for you to claim that anime fandom wants more black characters in anime when the way they act whenever there is one (1) black character in one (1) anime out of 100 is outrage about wokeness and pandering to Western audiences.

Black people are a small part of the Japanese population, but it's not shockingly rare to go out for a day in Tokyo or Yokohama and see a black person. Half-Japanese with one black parent are also becoming much more common and I've met many, and most of them look black. And then there's Okinawa! Anime fandom does not know about any of this. They think every Japanese person has the same shade of pale skin (not remotely true even outside of counting people of African or partial African descent) and anything else is unrealistic and a cause for a tantrum.

The one thing you're right about is that Koreans and Filipinos should have more of a presence in anime. Ainu too, sure, if the anime takes place in Hokkaido. Though it's important to acknowledge them, you're much more likely to meet a black person than an Ainu person pretty much anywhere in Japan outside of certain places in Hokkaido so your argument there is a bit iffy.

Nah, it depends on the fandom.
