This is a black woman in Bleach.


This is Yoruichi.

You can see that Yoruichi's facial features are like how Asians are in drawn in anime.

Light skinned characters =\= White.

Honestly unless its either said in the anime or by creators, they are probably Japanese.

Some random cosplayer is irrelevant; they don't even actually look similar at all as their facial features are entirely different. And just because she had an afro in a non-canon anime outro doesn't make her black, because that isn't her natural hairstyle; anime characters change their hairstyles and embrace other cultures for various reasons. You may as well be arguing Brock's Hispanic because he sometimes puts on a sombrero and plays maracas.

Again, this is a black woman in Bleach.


This is Yoruichi.

You can see that Yoruichi's facial features are like how Asians are in drawn in anime. She's South/Southeast Asian.

Wasn't it because of the animation at the time or something which is the reason Luthor has darker looking skin? They were trying to make him Greek or Italian I think? He has always been a white guy otherwise.

I think the point of the topic is "Animation is vague about the race of its characters but we need to stop throwing nuance out of the window and assuming all whiteskin characters are white and all blackskin characters are black"

Almost always. Obviously there are some outliers, but black people are almost always stereotypes in anime.

The point is that black people come in all varieties. We dont all look like a stereotype.

Japanese characters are often given wide eyes in anime, but White characters are generally marked with blue or green eyes.

Orihime looks like a typical Japanese character
