Why are foreigners in anime so often from Europe, when in reality it's mainly other Asians and Brazilians?
Like Chinese and Brazilian culture and people are beautiful, why are they so underrepresented?

Exoticism. Japan thinks Europe is fascinating and cool. If you're going to have foreigner characters, then they need to stand out. Otherwise what's the point? Other Asians aren't different enough. That's why whenever anime has Chinese characters, they're almost never normal Chinese people. They're always so, well, Chinese. Everything from their clothes, mannerisms, food, and how they talk screams Chinese culture. If a character isn't obviously different from the Japanese characters, you might as well just make them Japanese. Also, the Brazilian stats may be misleading. Most of those Brazilian immigrants are actually ethnically Japanese.

Fun fact: Before the Prohibition Era, Americans did in fact openly kiss each other on the lips as a greeting as long as they were both family of the same sex.
They've become more secretive about the practice since then.

I member watching the Brazil olympics. A huge opportunity tro show how wonderful Brazil is yadda yadda. Then it became clear that some of them are shitty people, like the time in which a brazilian competitor lost the gold to other athelete, and instead of cheering for their fellow countryman achievement, they fucking booed the gold medalist into tears, Right there i understood that the hue hue were not a meme, but a state of mind to (some of) them.

The Japanese refer to Disney's animation films as 'anime', so as far as they're concerned, they don't believe themselves to have created 'anime'. During the war, the Japanese government was spending its propaganda money on creating bootleg Mickey Mouse anime. America was god.

Is this anime any good? All I remember is that people got mad over the Brazilian girl being White because representation or something, which is pretty ironic considering European Brazilians are some of the least represented people in media, to the point where people don't even believe we exist.

Because Koreans and Chinese can't be pleased and will throw a fit if they're represented slightly wrong in any way, ESPECIALLY by Japan. And because you're getting millions of opinions from them there will be one who finds something for the 999,999 others to get mad about too.

Sometimes, it feels like some brazilians, especially in competitions, passionately support their representatives while treating others as pure enemies, leading to incidents like the one mentioned. The concept of respecting opponents in competitions isn’t as ingrained in Brazil or, more broadly, in Latin America as a whole. For example, in soccer, fans of Argentine and brazilian teams sometimes clash after matches, reinforcing the idea of opponents as enemies. However, outside of competition, brazilians are famously warm and welcoming

>>275188123
I went to school with a red head super pale white kid with blue eyes that i eventually discovered was a Brazilian whose family had lived in Brazil for like 300 years. Was some kind of Dutch/German ethnicity
>>
>>275191102
That's only Koreans. That's why Korean characters are so rare. Even with there being almost no Korean anime characters, there are still a few cases of anime causing a massive shitstorm because Koreans didn't like how a Korean character was portrayed. Once it even almost caused an international incident. In contrast, there are many Chinese anime characters but the Chinese don't react that way.

why are zoomers afraid to say gay?

>>275191102
I hate it whenever an "English" speaking gaijin appears in anime and just skip whatever parts they are in. Same thing whenever Japanese people visit Hawaii or w/e.

But I don't see the point of throwing fit.

You say that China is underrepresented in anime, but now that I think about it, it's represented more than other countries. Can you think of any country that has more anime characters from there than China? It's really only America. And since there are all of those anime set in historical/fantasy China, China may still have more.
>>
>>275192296
I'm willing to bet, if someone could sift through all manga and anime media, that Alice from Alice in Wonderland has appeared more times than any of the popular Chinese fiction characters, including Son Goku.

Different reasoning. For China it's just appealing for chinxbucks but Korea it is the presumable shitstorms from the both ways from Japan and Korea but not anymore. Netouyo culture has actually died out whose obsession is mainly about the both Koreas. Japan and Korea are fairly close nowadays, China too despite the geopolitical situation.

Not really. That's a recent development if it's even a big thing at all while Chinese characters have been a staple in anime for a long time.
