Like even as an unnamed background or crowd character? I remember watching the show in reruns a lot as a kid and come to think of it, I honestly can't think of any.

(Yes, I know of Officer Quartz and his family from The Flintstone Kids, I'm talking specifically about the original 60s series)

I have bo idea but apparently there was plans for a spinoff called The Blackstones. Which would just be black Flintstones. I guess someone realized it was a stupid idea before they got too far with it

I'm sure there's a joke to be made here about the Cleveland Show, but I don't trust myself to make it gracefully

Back in the day there was an in living color segment where a kid who was acting like the next spike lee brought this up.

He as like The Jetson and Flintstones. You are saying we are not in the past of the future .

I'd think back then in this era, there wasn't much of any regional diversity because long distance travel was impossible.

Yes there was. On the episode where Fred leads boyscout troupes from around the world in a sing along, we see minority kids from a lot of different backgrounds.

EDIT: scratch that. I dont see any black kids, though there is a section of people from Mexico, and some Mexicans are black:

You didn't see many black people on TV period until the 70s.

One of the few Western cartoons loved by anime fans, I'm sure.

It was made back when the South still threw fits whenever they saw a single non-stereotypical Black person on TV.
