I'm waiting for the day when a big action shonen or seinen is headlined by a young Black man.

Damn, I'm surprised that this anime is going out of its way to deconstruct the "gay person is a pervert" trope that is so popular with anime/mangas. Color me impressed.

It's getting more common but there's been black protagonists for a very long time.

Wasn't it American? I know it was animated by a Japanese studio, but it was first in English before it eventually got dubbed in Japanese.

Volume 4 of Reincarnated Princess and Genius Young Lady light novel straight up had Euphie straight up kiss Anis in front of a crowd of people during Euphie's coronation as queen. It's like "Yeah, we're lesbians. Get used to it!"

Theres a few dark skinned anime characters that some western fans call black but who are clearly coded as another group (Scar from FMA being the next one to come to mind).

I've always thought of Scar and his ethnicity to be more related to Arabs/Muslims.

They even live in the desert and base their entire life around their religion. Sounds like a standard Muslim theocracy to me.

For some reason every dark skinned person in anime are black to some people. South Asians and others don't exist to them.

Yoruichi Ive always thought was black, but if Kubo revealed she was supposed to be Indian or something, I wouldnt be surprised. Bleach eschewed design features and names to correlate characters.

The industry needs to make all the "cute girl" genres super woke as a chud-repellent feature. As it stands, you can pretty much automatically distrust anyone with a Lucky Star, K-On, or Azumanga Daioh avatar. >____>

To be fair, even when its not the original intention of the author sometimes black-coded elements are added by others working on official material.

I dont think Yoruichis supposed to be black (probably closer to south Asian or Egyptian) but one of the anime endings has her sporting an Afro.

Similarly, Mirko from MHA is probably just Japanese, but some art from at least one of the mangakas assistants of her uses Megan Thee Stallion as a reference.

I can see that.

I don't know how much Turkey lets religion rule over every facet of their life, however that's how the average Muslim Theocracy operates and also how Ishvalans operated, so to me they feel more Muslim/Arabic.

Why are you using Muslim/Arabic like theyre interchangeable?Sounds racist when one is an ethnicity and the other is a religion.

Because the Arabic people have overwhelming adopted Islam as such a large part of their inherent identity it's only eclipsed by the Jews who literally made it hereditary/bloodline related?

I was addressing a specific region of Muslim theocracies based in the desert, not addressing Muslims in India or Cambodia.

However, I grant you it was a poor wording and I could have done better.
