You know what I find funny, yet rude?

There are no african-americans in the pokemon anime or the games. Probably because they are set in japan and african-americans are the minority there...

does anybody else agree with me??

Since the origins are Japan, it would make sense that most people are (not being stereotypical) white, and that African Americans are rare.

What about Brock? What's he?

Well, people would complain if they did. You KNOW they would find a loop hole how the role is racist. Yet people complain that they don't have African- Americans.

Need we look back at the entire Jynx fiasco... avoiding any possible law suits might be the point, even though the point of it being set in Japan is entirely relavant.

As long as there aren't any lawsuits, I'm happy.:)

Well, there is reason why there isn't any Afro-Amercians in the Amine, Is because.... There can never be! You can people immagrating from African Countries, they can be known as Afro-Japanese.

But that aside, We've already had enough of the Jinx fiasco, maybe that's another reason as well.

Probably because of the Jynx controversy.

Yeah. Black people, Japan.

Although wasn't that Ghost type girl of the E4 from Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald a Pacific Islander?

Let's not go into the Jynx thing again. Although, I've heard in America, the episode "Holiday Hi-Jynx" is banned, as is "The Ice Cave" because of people thinking Jynx was racist for it's PURPLE SKIN! How many people do you know have purple skin anyway?

The whole Jynx thing was a farce. Shows how far people will go to make money.

I really don't think Nintendo will risk going through that again, especially in today's world of political correctness gone mad.

But it doesn't really bother me anyway, why should it?

I thought the whole reason for the Jynx lawsuit was that Jynx looks like blackface. They could easily include black people in the Pokemon games, without being sued, if they make the black people look like real black people. Instead of making them look like this.

I'm bi-racial, and my brother is Japanese and we've never had any sort of clashing while growing up.

Jynx is to blame for this... Misunderstanding. Jynx was probably portrayed off of the legendary African-American soprano, Leontyne Price.

TC, How do you find this topic funny yet rude?

I don't think that the lack of African-American characters is such big deal tbh.

No, Will wore a black mask. E.g. http://www.serebii.net/manga/characters/will.shtml


Anyway, I saw this today and was wondering where to post it, and I've found the perfect place:

In the top left, click on science and look at what colour the woman's skin is. Surprising, eh? ;) She looks quite nice too, if I may add :D

...Don't ask how I got to that page ¬_¬

Just because a race isn't shown doesn't mean it's racism that that race is not included...

In many cases, affirmative action is far too overrated...
