How is Brock the only Asian character. I always thought he was black

Doesnt the show take place in a fictional part of japan

Yes, for the most part.

Appearances in anime aren't usually directly linked to nationality or race, as everybody in Japan is Japanese and so by default everyone on television is Japanese (or European if it's a fantasy setting). It's usually used to convey character traits if anything.

Monster and FMA B are the only two anime I can think of that do distinguish between races and discuss race as a topic, though I'm sure there are more. For the most part Japanese people don't really view race as a topic because its never been a topical issue in their country (which is not to say that Japan can't be or isn't racist).


ummm....

lex luther and wonder woman is consider white and yet they have darker colors in the animated series.

I don't know if brock is black or Asian. But he's drawn like the sterotype Asian person without the buck teeth. and I don't think the buck teeth is what makes those drawing racist.

What kind of bother me is Jinxs. It's like they knew black face was racist so they named it Jinxs. But they didn't know how offensive it was until they brought it over seas.

jynx isn't a black person, or even based on a black person.

and eye slits is a fairly common anime trait that multiple artists use.
