I wasn't aware that a cartoon needed to have black people for a black person to be into it. News to me.

Quite a few black dudes in the show, actually, although none are main characters.

A topic where someone posts a query with the hopes someone can answer? It didn't seem that confusing to me and I've never watched Dragonball.

not necessarily. Black people liking anime is only apparent because anime is far from the depiction of your average black man. So, whenever you see a black person discussing anime, it's more apparent and memorable

What's wrong with you

for an action show, it has shitty fighting - all of the attacks basically look the same. and it always comes down to some new, stupid transformation

the story and characters are shit, too.

If it's an accurate observation is it still a stereotype? Like I said I don't watch it. But at the same time I don't assume everyone on CE with vegy in their username is black because I've never heard someone express this observation or put this stereotype forward.

I honestly like it because of Krillin and Gohan. For Krillin is he some what of a loser, and yet he tries when the odds are never in his favor. And that really drew me to the show when I was kid.

Those are best left unspoken about . All the black people in that show look like they came right off of a the set of the 1940's movie.

I never watched GT, but I remember liking DB.

Why do black

Like what stats shows that all black people or even majority watch dbz? A small sample size doesnt qualify

It doesn't take much effort. Literally all you have to do is ask a disingenuous question about black people in the title and people will flock to the topic.

A black friend in high school got me into it. Some minor characters are racist against black people so I dunno. Still, I watched it because of that black friend and I am currently watching Super (but far behind, watching on Adult Swim on demand) because another friend, not black but Mexican, got me started on Battle of the Gods and I had to keep watching Super as a result because I couldn't help myself and also because Beerus and Whis both kinda remind me of me and I want to see were that goes...
