Yeah.

I mean, given that most anime features nothing but Asians--and usually specifically Japanese people--the idea that there's a problem with one show having nothing but White people seems... weird. Like, are you afraid Japanese media doesn't have enough of what we would consider "characters of color"? Cuz most anime features nothing but that.

I've seen people seriously argue that anime doesn't have enough POCs. There was an article (I think it was The Mary Sue, but I can't find the article now) that listed recommended anime. Included was "Avatar: The Last Air Bender". Several people pointed out that it wasn't actually anime and the writer replied that they included Avatar because anime characters were "white-washed" and Avatar had actual POC repesentation. Several people contested that for obvious reasons.

The writer eventually replaced it with another anime but never actually retracted the "whitewashed anime" comment (that I saw, at least).
