OP
From context, the first has no stated race (but I would surmise African ancestry), the second is Catalan, and the third has implied Indian ancestry. In all three cases giving them particularly racial features would be quite a departure from the overall style of the show. Not that there aren't plenty of anime out there which do manage that kind of thing, and do it well (Naoki Urasawa, rawr) but cartoonish, averaged-out features like these don't really take away from the fact that the characters are definitely intended to be non-white, in my opinion.

da
the third has implied Indian ancestry
Loran is Moonrace, where did you get that from?

[(Anonymous)]

OP
Loran's name is actually always given in offical materials as Rolan, which is apparently a legit Indian name. I got told off by an Indian fan for assuming he was anything but. Moonrace is Moonrace, sure, and that's what's relevant in Turn A, but for the purpose of defining ethnicity, the Moonrace are originally from Earth, and he has an Indian name and an appearance that is as Indian as any Caucasian character's appearance is Caucasian. I've looked into it a bit, and if he's anything, that's probably what he is.

That's interesting; would you say Catalans are POC?

[(Anonymous)]

OP
I think that's subjective, but based upon my reading of The Count of Monte Cristo, which is the source material for Gankutsuou, Mercedes is perceived as physically differing from her caucasian peers, and is portrayed as being from a very different sociological background, with potentially differing values and so forth. To be honest, POC is a term which isn't even used in my country, but I thought my intentions would be understood from that context. I could just as easily have said I was blogging about "characters who are brown."

I come from a country where 'POC' isn't used either, and it's confusing. I never know whether "Hispanic" includes people from Spain, and that kind of thing.

Acording to Tumblr, everybody BUT white people are POC, so...

[(Anonymous)]

i think it depends. there are white catalans and non-white catalans. my mom, hell that entire side of my family, would be classified as "brown", but when i go home i do see catalans who just look like white people. i would say that in spain being a white catalan might be slightly "less" but definitely not outside of it, and not on the same level as being a straight up brown spaniard.
