"Anime's not perfect. That's that. The Japanese are kind of close minded. They tend to distant themselves from both white and black people, they see themselves as "japanese" rather than by skin color, so, as you've probably noticed, when a character is not a "perfect japanese", they're foreigners and complete stereotypes. They do it with Americans too, a lot, almost all americans in anime are blond, blue eyed. Almost all chinese characters have some sort of cooking/martial art knowledge, Etc."
