I never got how every race ever is allowed to be simplified to a generic animu design but black people have to be 2.5D at all times and must have "black features" otherwise they don't count.
>>26222210
Yes.
>>26222180
You're retarded no one has lips as thin as those, so insecure about something that's not even a problem, I fucking hate people like you.

Here's something I never understood about America - if a child has one white parent and one black, he's somehow is automatically black but not white, is that correct? That seems really wierd to me
Oh, and Iris could be Ethiopian, Pakistani, or Indian, impossible to tell for sure since pokemon art stile is too clean and simplistic.
The real answer though - she is a made up anime character who isn't necessarily a member of any real life ethnic group and her skin, eye and hair colors are purely a design decisions.
If you really need the closest real life equivalent, your best course of action would be to search Iris Cosplay in google, find the closest one in your opinion and find out the ethnicity of the cosplayer

>Here's something I never understood about America

You answered your own question.
They literally had a Supreme Court case about this.
If you have one black grandparent, even if the rest of your family is white you're black, and aren't allowed to ride the tram.
>>26222416
Hilarious. So that's why I see media people who are referred to as black, although the are whiter than my Russian grandad
>>26222180
White man.
>>26222180
She's of the "delicious brown" race which is exclusive to the 2D world.
So don't worry, she's not a nigger, and its perfectly acceptable to want to put your dick inside.
>>26222180
Race probably don't exist in Pokémon Earth.
>>26222489
I always thought african albinos look cute, it's a shame what usually happens to them
I just remembered she literally swings around on trees in the anime.
Black and Native American.
>>26222535
Also this. I mean it exist, as in there are people of different ethnicities, but In the games race is never referred to or even mentioned as a concept and people obviously don't notice it.
>>26222373
Anon, I'll try to explain. You need to understand something about the US first: we group people together using very vague geographical locations, rarely ethnicity. So English, German, Italian, French, Spanish, Nordic, Irish, Slavic, Scottish, ect are quite literally "all the same thing" here. We don't use words like "Anglo" or "Mediterranean" to describe someone, you're either "White" "Black" "Asian" "Non-White Hispanic" or more recently, "Indian". So a person who has 1 white and 1 non-white parent is either A) Just called "black", or B) Mixed.
>>26222546
What usually happens to them?
>>26222502
You are delusional, this whole delicious brown thing is autistic and just a way to cover up something you don't like.
>>26222546
What usually happens to them?
>>26222614
Not him, but non-albino blacks usually get killed because the natives think their organs and bones bring good luck or something. No, I'm not kidding.
>>26222180
I never watched the anime - did they actually white washed her a bit?
She has way different skin color in the game's art and her sprite is also super dark
>>26222631
I have no idea why I put "non-albino" blacks. I quite literally meant the opposite.
>>26222614
Killed due to various superstitions.
Some thinks their bones are good luck, others think they are demons who must be slain.
>>26222633
Everything in the anime is brighter and more saturated than official art
>>26222623
No, delicious brown girls are common element in the 2D world, they are well-establishes as their own thing and exist in the Pokemon universe.
They notably exist alongside actual black people, so they're not just "covering up" the existence of niggers.
For example, Iris is clearly not black.
Neither is Shauna.
Lenora, on the other hand, is definitely black.
Marlon is tanned, for that matter.
>>26222688
>Iris is clearly not black.
wew
>>26222373
Mixed people choose to identify as black usually because they are a victim of some form of discrimination (if their black ethnicity is apparent)
Growing up there's also a discourse of people treating their race and backgrounds as a trophy, with more obnoxious white people you'll notice that they have to list every piece of their bloodline as if anybody cares that they're part Irish and 1/64 raped Cherokee, strictly because whites don't really have a culture to speak of over here.
Either the "black part" takes over or you're labeled unseasoned chicken.
>>26222608
To be fair most people in the states are just mixes of all of those things anyway, so just lumping them together is the easiest thing to do. Like what would call a German/Italian or Spanish/Irish person?
Better question is why Lenora is so T H I C K
Nah, really though, best pokeMILF hands down, SM is better to step up its game
>>26222688
Shauna was never considered black you fucking mongoloid.
>>26222293
>Japanese can have red, purple or blue hair
>Whites can speak perfect uncringeworthy Japanese
>Blacks must always look and be as dark as the Sudanese despite Black Americans not always being that dark.
These people never seen black families outside TV. It can't be helped.
>>26222750
Not by anyone reasonable, no. I've seen some morons argue she is, however, so I was preemptively setting them straight.
>>26222761
To be fair, anime also has the fantasy blacks, who have red eyes and white hair
So there is that, at least it's more interesting
>>26222798
Its like people forget "being tan" is a thing. I mean they probably fucking did because they're basement dwellers.
>>26222761
This is surprisingly true, just looked at a video on youtube. If you're black and go to Japan they'll start randomly touching your you and your hair without permission it's actually hilarious as if they've never seen a race like ours.
>>26222827
I wonder how Dante Carver gets around.
>>26222489
Could albino black people actually be the originals humans that left Africa?
>>26222827
Well, they probably haven't. It's honestly pretty normal reaction in any country that isn't a melting pot like America or Europe.
I live in Russia and usually get confused for a second when I see a random black person walking around.
>>26222850
That's one of the less popular theories. People get awfully touchy about racial origin subjects which has probably hampered progress in that field.
>>26222608
We do it like that just to be able to group people together more easily from what I can tell. People don't want to waste time finding out if you're Irish or Scottish, they just want to get whatever you need of them done as fast as possible.
>>26222216
Grossly underrated
She's clearly some shade of south asian, compare her to Lenora for a real example of a pokenigger. Yes, the art style is simple and potentially vague, but the differences are there. Have you faggots never left 'murka or something?
>>26222222
hello black, I'm anon
>>26222933
>but the differences are there.
Like?
Any main difference can be attributed simply to the age difference
>>26222933
Technically speaking, there could be a group of Africans or African descendants with thin lips and straight hair. The question then would become whether its more likely Iris is one of these Africans or South Asian.
>>26223079
Considering Unova is based on America I would say she's of African decent.
>>26222982
>>26223079
Mostly her dress and long elaborate (and yes straight and dark) hairstyle, considering pokemon characters are essentially caricatures, seem to be taking cues from (rather than being a facsimile of) bollywood. Note Lenora goes all in on the pseudo 'fro and headscarf to communicate race.
>>26223079
That is a possibility, people always forget how brown the SAsian people actually can be

Only people of higher class can afford out of state let alone out of country vacations.
Also even if you have vacation days your employer can fire you for using them(they'll find an excuse)
>>26223235
That's not even real brown just looks like a tan anon
>>26223263
If they're tanned, they should sell their tanning secrets and become billionaires. They look South Asian.
>>26223263
Yeah, I just was in a middle of looking for good Iris cosplay and that pic happened to be somewhat related to the conversation
And no, there is no good Iris cosplay, It's all just dorky looking girls. But honestly, they all always look like they are having genuine fun, so, I'm not even mad.
>>26223215
Iris is wearing a shirt and Capri legging.
How is that race specific.
>(and yes straight and dark) hairstyle,
Her hair is poofy and can house pokemon. Even if that wasn't the case, blacks do straighten their hair.
Hair is the weakest argument to verify race in an anime when the characters live in a universe where pink and blue are natural hair colors.

Like this I'm assuming?

I also think she's cute. My folder for her is bigger than some of my other waifu folders. Mostly because of the influx of threads we've been having about her recently, but I'm not complaining.

That dress is pretty lewd for a little girl. What were they thinking?
Op here Thanks anons for clarifying
Thank god she isnt black. I dont feel ashamed of finding her cute anymore. Im being serious here. I think it would be weird to think a black girl was cute.

Op here fuck you how does that make me racist? I have my own prefences. And just because i think shes cute doesnt mean im attracted to her that way. Fuck you
>>26222803
I know Eileen Stevens is Jew as fuck but she does a surprisingly good little precocious black girl voice. Intended or not.
She was the only black, but now is purple
>>26223235
South Asian people are very tan, yes but Iris' hairline and puffed braids aren't exactly out of the range of little black girl hairstyles either.
A lot of hairstyles of black girls ages 4-12 aren't reused in older years. And trust me, black girls experiment with a LOT of hairstyles in their pre-teen years, regardless of how mixed they are or aren't.
>>26223079
Try Ethiopian. Iris defintely fits skin tone and features -- and there are Ethiopian immigrants in the country in modern times.
Anime hair is exaggerated for all ethnicities too, so I'll give that a break.
>>26223215
You do know blackness varies natively, right?

She's Unovan. Things like Africa, south east Asia and India don't exist in the Pokemon world.
>inb4 indian elephant
I see it as in the Pokemon world, skin tones and facial features we associate with race are associated with almost nothing outside of "oh you look like your parents"
