So as I understand it, anime fans typically use demographics to shut down black people who want better representation in Japanese media. Seems to ignore that white people are also a negligible portion of the Japanese population, but often have have entire franchises to themselves (like Final Fantasy, Vinland Saga, Tales of, Fullmetal Alchemist, etc). Beyond that, Koreans are probably the largest ethnic group in Japan, but they are heavily under represented, much of it due to discrimination, history, and fear of reprisal. But that only means that demographics are rarely considered for the stories written, and are only ever weaponized against black people specifically.
It always amazes me that black people are the only demographic in the world that gets antagonized for wanting better representation.
