you are an ahole for evein saying mr popo. Anyway the fact that people have to think thatd hard is the major problem. And you say their are no whites. Even when an anime has no whites the characters in it just seem to be white anyway. When they are in it they are drawn crudely usually. They are rarely main characters. NO WE ARE NOT TALKING BOONDOCKS!!!!!
They are looked at as morons usually or scared of everything. Always some humor behind them or something. Only black cartoon character
NOT TALKING BOONDOCKS
who i respected was virgil from stack shock.
for go dsake sin dbz when they evolved... or got powerful enough they got gold (blonde) hair with blue eyes... they became super white people in my eyes.
Anyway the show Bleach can have black singers in it but no black characters. samurai champloo can pull their whole shows feel from black culture but have no black characters.
oh so they were in japan.
Today tons of blacks are in japan. so that stops the excuse from bleach
and in samurai champloo blacks were rare but you coudlnt walk for more than 2 days and not see atleast one. because ricans, blacks, arabians, irish people, austrians, everything is somewhere else for some reason. You cant enter a country and say oh what the hellw here did you come from.. wow.. *pokes* i seen someone like you in a magazine. poppycock
and if you say martial arts is a japanese thing or something liek that then why did bruce lee personally sometimes spar and train art black dojos.. well specifically one.
Gave much respect to one man in particular. The guy who says, "man you come straigh totu of a comic book" in the movie "enter the dragon". i think it wa that movie.
oh well im bored of the rant

Calling Mr. Popo black is offensive to black people (which I am), and now I'll tell you why.
You know in America, the "blackface" days, where black people painted their faces black with red lipstick and danced around on stage? Just so all you non-black people know, that was NOT a good time in American history for black people, it was degrading, it was shameful, it was black people forcing themselves to make a mockery of...themselves! Because they had no other way to get what the white people had, to be entertainers, to have money.
Mr. Popo looks like a blackfaced entertainer. Japanese people don't know black people, they only know what's on TV about them, and therefore a whole bunch of rude and disrespectful stereotypes are displayed in cartoons such as DBZ.
