Any other anime heads on here? It's kinda crazy, but something I realized is that Japanese people actually portray black people than Americans. There aren't a lot of blacks in anime, but when you actually look at the blacks that are in anime, they are almost always really smart, really skilled in something, or really insightful. Japanese have a poor understanding of blacks cause there aren't many of us over there, but they still do us better in their media than in the West.
Ya'll should check out the black experience in Japan channel on Youtube. It's interesting. When we get the chance, me and my wife will be vacationing there.
