This isn't an issue but I was wondering if there is a legit reason as to why there hasn't been a black person in sight so far
share"All of the black people" seem to have been mysteriously killed off in 99.9% of all anime ever made.
shareShow was made in Japan with a Japanese audience in mind.
they probably dont care too much if they hurt black/Arabic/Hispanic people's feelings because their skin color isn't represented on a cartoon aimed for japanese kids
I disagree. Anime usually shows a vast array of different races. Even using animals and alien-looking creatures that walk around and talk normally with other humans. Anime is probably more diverse than any other animation. However, for this series, I think it may be true that all the Black people were killed off. After all, there is only one Japanese person left on the entire planet. And she is only half Japanese.
shareAnime is actually pretty diverse considering that probably like 98% of Japan is Japanese. I can name a few black, German, Brazilian, Chinese, British, middle eastern, American, Dutch, and a few other groups from the anime I've watched
shareStill, what's up with all the blonde, blue eyed Germans?
shareMore than likely, being that humankind was almost brought to extinction, and that the last full-blood Asian person on the planet was Mikasa's mother who is dead, and Mikasa is the only person left who has any Asian heritage at all (Half-Asian)...I'd have to say that it is very possible that the vast majority of races and ethnic groups have been wiped out.
shareI have a theory that the timeline and geography fit with Germany in the early early 1900's. The architecture of the buildings, the fact they live in a mountainous region, the faces, the vast amount of blondes, the names (Erin, Jean... Armin is German for Hunter even), and then there's the opening title sequence and a few songs song in German. So how diverse do you think the population of Germany was in the early 1900's?
sharediverse enough to have a half "oriental" girl apparently
shareThe names are very reminiscent of Germanic Europe, however, the German word for 'Hunter' is Jaeger.
shareNo the Black people along with the supposedly extinct Asians are hidden away. They manufacture The Titans to get them "Crackers." This is season 3-4 of Attack on Titan.
shareWell, we see during the series that Mikasa and her mother are the last 'Orientals' in the entire place. I'm going to just guess that all the minorities are dead and there are only White people left...

the show is pretty obviously inspired by prussian culture of the 1900s. almost all the names are German, the buildings are Herrenhaus style. Prussian culture was all about discipline and order, which I thought was part of the theme in this movie.
shareCould be possible that black people were smart and have colonies underground or something, on another part of the planet. Maybe they left Earth. Who knows
