Not trying to be racist, but I'm looking for some diversity. I would love a foreign anime character in on if there is or one that uses different skin tone. (again, not racist)

Binbougami ga! - there's a black monk, the show itself is incredibly funny
Tenjou Tenge - one of the main characters is black, though I didn't enjoy it

The depictions of blacks in Baccano! border on racist. Either the manga-ka didn't know better, or the designs were chosen because they fit the period of the story, Prohibition America. I'll be generous and assume the latter.



Buddy (rhymes with "Muddy") Waters in Uchuu Kyoudai is a decent African-American character until they decide to run the little strips at the end, for kids no less, where the characters are all portrayed as animals. Buddy, unfortunately, becomes "Buddy Gorilla." Again I'll chalk this up to the horrible ethnocentrism of the Japanese, but most of the Americans I know who were following this show were incensed.



There are only two black characters I don't consider racist caricatures in anime. One is Dutch in Black Lagoon, and the other is Lewis in Blood+.

I was initially taken aback by "Buddy Gorilla" too, but I don't think they meant any harm with that. Every character in that series was subtly stereotypical in some way.

Never saw an Indian before I take it. Dragon Ball did have a black dude whose codename was Black.
