They're too busy watching anime.

Black Americans make up about 13% of the overall population, so it's pretty natural for there to be fewer shows by/featuring them.

That said, there's still disproportionately too few shows run by black Americans. Probably in the low single digits, like 5%. This can be chalked up to Hollywood and the entertainment industry in general still being an old white guy's club that hasn't changed much since the "good old days".

Progress has been made, but it's not quite there yet.

And thats also another thing i dont really get.

Why has the black community continually latched onto a genre that continues to not and misrepresent them?

What user said above me may be true, but in america ive seen black people as the main demographic for people who watch anime.

Black people generally aren't mistreated in anime because they generally don't exist in anime.

Boy I sure do love living in the post-racial world that decades of liberal political ideology have gifted us. Can you imagine how much it would suck if, even after all this time, EVERY SINGLE FUCKING CONVERSATION ABOUT EVERYTHING EVER revolves around someone's skin color? I can't even imagine how anything could ever possibly get done in such a world. Everyone would be mistrustful and suspicious of each other and the loudest, shittiest, most disingenuous voices would drown everyone else out.

Yup, our multicultural and diverse society is such a great deal, and it keeps getting better and better!

>Why is there a lack of black cartoons out there?
Same reason there are few Native American cartoons

Anime is fun.

Take DBZ for instance. Both Goku and Vegeta are members of a race who have been enslaved and used to do others' dirty work. Goku for most of the series is a not-so-bright underdog who never the less manages to defeat beings who constantly flout their superiority through determination and physical training. Vegeta's defining characteristic is his pride in his saiyan heritage despite having been robbed of any sort of material inheritance or even family and having been forced to grow up in a society that constantly belittled him. Neither Goku nor Vegeta are black or have any physical feature that would relate to them being African monkey tails excluded although that is more of a coincidence since Goku's character was original based off of the Chinese myth of Sun Wukon the Monkey King but their stories and conflicts resonate with African-American experiences.
