    Grim is white tho. There is an episode where has his human/living form, and is white. The creator said that he did this because he didn't want two white kids owning a black guy.

    27 points AFantasticClue

    I know, but I’m talking about characters voiced by black people. Samurai Jack is Japanese too, no two ways about that, but they’re both objectively more popular shows where the main character is voiced by a black guy. Whereas, as much as I loved it, Class of 3000 only lasted two seasons and is more obscure, more of a deep cut. So personally I think it was more about the characters themselves being black, rather than their voice actor.

    Until the mangaka makes an official statement, I will choose to claim her as black. If someone disagrees with that, that is their right.

    I’m not Asian, so I’m not here to press on South Asian representation or the lacktherof. If they see themselves in her and want her to be a part of their community, that should unify us. Not separate us. A person can be more than one ethnicity and if she has traits they find appealing, just as we do, then cool. We like the same type shit.

You’re telling me that someone who’s 7/8 or even 15/16 just like you (say, WASP in Virginia) that they’re less than the other people you’re racist against (e.g. Irish, Puritan, Quaker, Catholic, French, Spanish/Latino, etc. etc.)? If they’re a Free Person of Color, they look, talk, and pray like you, and probably think and have the same cultural values too. NONE of that is more important? GTFO.

    I had a white college professor who threw down the gauntlet of how much he could educate the class about black history, especially as the college was in the deep south and he (correctly) knew that there were MANY of us who knew only what our history books taught us + maybe a documentary or two. Two things that spoke the loudest, both Brazil-based:

    • Most Africans went to Brazil and not America during the slave trade. Caribbeans was #2.

    • Brazil itself recognizes over 20 different MAJOR ethnicities on their census, with many being various shades of black + native.

    I read your comment and laughed as here in America there's various ethnicities but after learning in '05 about Brazil and other parts of South America....it truly made my view look very bland, plain, and boring. At best many of us will see someone mixed with black & white, or white & hispanic/asian as the biggest races. Sounds ike a huge 'ol melting pot for sure down there!!!

    Now while this is fun, Granny Jojo is absolutely old Jewish grandma, not asian. Nicole’s family is also almost certainly just Asian as well.

    Darwin is 1000% black though

    True, Nicole’s dad is literally a Siamese cat. That’s about as clear Asian-coding as you can get

    I wouldn't have been able to nail it on my own, but you're exactly right. I have some extended family whose mother was a textbook redhead old Jewish lady, and Jojo sounds almost exactly like her.

    Lots of places use hapa, which is derived from Hawaiian which used to mean half Hawaiian, but its usage has spread.

    My wife is hapa, she calls out kids quappa (quarter Asian)

    The chart is blatantly wrong:

    1. Nicole's parents are both Japanese/Asian
    2. Richard's parents are both White (his dad is possibly Italian American)
    3. Gumball and Anais are Wasian
    4. Darwin is their adopted Black son

    Darwin is definitely black (he's been in their black history month marketing). There are some implications that Nicole might be Asian, but that's mostly just a common headcannon.

    It’s pretty heavily implied, both of her parents had extremely high expectations of her, they made her do karate, chess, play the violin, and her first name is literally “Doctor,” which is a very common experience for children on Asian immigrants. She also trained with Yuki Yoshida (who is openly Japanese) and has a (literal) anime fight against her. Plus, her dad is a Siamese cat, so

    Tangentially related, but since Nicole and Yuki are both Asian and are friends, they may have the same general mindset about raising children, so they have a "Beat 'em like they're your own kids if they start acting out" kind of agreement.

    Which is honestly for the best seeing the type of shit Gumball and Darwin pull daily.
