Why aren't there more black characters in anime?
Because black people that aren't American soldiers have historically been uncommon in Japan.

This plus there are hardly any black otaku. So there's no need to pander to them.
>>119857567
There are plenty.

Truth, dubs prove it. Not that there was any doubt anyway.
Black otaku are as rare as non-whale female otaku.
Because niggers are dumb, minus Tyrone.
>>119857900
>This plus there are hardly any black otaku.
Among the Japanese, that is. American blacks are huge weebs.

You can argue for equality, but only works if the financial statistics bear it out.
FIRST, anime is marketed towards a japanese audience. It is not marketed towards you, so your logic is not being used in the design of the show. Second, an anime show has 24 minutes in which to do its thing. That gives x minutes per character. Each character is an opportunity to sell character goods, licenses, and supports the overall show in its sale of merchandise and overarching licenses as well as video sales, promotions, and broadcast time royalties. With that in mind, why would the production committee waste value minutes doing what you wanted using something that has low sales value to their japanese audience?
Because less than 1% of Japan's population is black.
>As you can see, the Japanese are racial-ideology-wise far from perfect. But for someone to come in with no knowledge of this long and complicated history and insist that having more Hispanic/Black/POC(a meaningless term in a country full of POC) characters in anime, it’s saying that American racial ideas and politics are more important. Sure, I love when anime has diversity of any kind. But if you think an anime with a “POC” is more progressive and ignore something like Samurai Champloo—which has both a Ryukyu island native main character and several episodes devoted to the Ainu—then I’m sorry, but you’re being culturally ignorant and contributing to cultural imperialism. That yet again, the gaijin should be the star. And the West has a very, very long history of imposing its own sense of morality on everyone else. I can find way more foreigners of any color portrayed in anime than any Ainu, let me tell ya. I have no right to tell a foreign industry to stop making media that reflects them and their racial identity and instead make stuff that looks like an American sitcom.
The way the Japanese depict blacks in anime is beyond hilarious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtzlKJ1dObU
>>119857567
Why aren't there less?
Because black people don't support the industry.
>>119857646
Yeah but the ones that are there are pretty bad ass, like that dude who fought for Nobunga. Its why the few nigs in anime are all awesome.
>>119863005
No way this is real
>>119863028
Actually blacks are right up there with whites in America who support animu.
>>119861160
English ones too
>>119863080

90 percent of moeshit consumers I know at college/work are niggers. Most fujos I have seen/known are spics.

All of the moeshit fans I know are white with a few Asians sprinkled about. All of my black friends who are into anime typically dig mecha and shonen like ttgl and hxh.

I would jump a little bit too. The guy has gloves on that looks like white hands, then all of sudden he pops his black face out.
>>119862616
>Nigger logic
I don't want any shitskins in my anime either, god bless the nips great taste.
>>119863406
People running around in super hero masks is far more common than a black guy with white hands in Japan
>>119863491
This is definitely korean

Yeah you're right, I don't know why that ahjumma's hairstyle didn't tip me off. Point still stands though.
>>119857567
Why should there be more?
It's fine at it is.
>>119862803
I like how this is itself saying American racial ideas and politics are more important by labeling Japanese as "POC" while complaining about it.
>>119863683

Not really, its just showing the perspective of the speaker.
>>119863750
Which is literally what he's complaining about, westerners forcing their perspective on other countries.
>>119857567
Not financially viable to present other races to an audience that largely doesn't recognize them as being human.
>>119863889
But he's not forcing any perspective by showing his own with a simple term which he even acknowledges as kind of unnecessary in a homogenous non white society.
>>119857567
Argento Soma had cool black people.
>>119862616
But brown girls are cute.
>>119857567
Because not a lot of people really like black people, hell even black people hate eachother.

While most of the anime audience is Japanese, most of the Japanese are not the anime audience.

fuck off
>>119857567
There are barely asians in anime and you're trying to ask for more blacks?
>wanting shitty niggers
>not wanting perfect brown loli
Shit taste
back to Detroit, negros.
Because anime does it right. When they add a gay or ethnic character it's not for the purpose of being PC and filling a diversity quota like in the west. They add them where it feels right and it provides something interesting to the plot.
>>119864118
>>119864150
Those are not black.
>>119864366
Still, most Japs don't really like black people.
>>119857567

They don't really like anyone who isn't Japanese (and not even all Japanese are on the same level).
