Anime North '09 Panel: "African-Americans Like This, Too!"

[shadowghostra]

Wow, I thought this video was gonna be about how anime disrespect black ppl....not on some "well i was outcast since i liked anime by black ppl." Funny thing is, I hang around blacks who love animes just like me......so I never really had that problem..........

Well, we talked mildly about the black representation in anime, and on many other things (don't forget to check out the other parts of the video! so long i had to break it into 4). A lot of people felt like you, that because you associate with similar-minded people, you didn't feel the exterior pressures and disliking. some people did have friends who didn't really "get it", but to them, it didn't matter too much

i'm surprised a fight didn't break out. Race is always a hot topic.
