Hello! I’m a Japanese high school student, and I’d like to share my thoughts on the recent discussions about racism in Japanese anime. First, Japan is an island nation, and we don’t encounter foreigners in our daily lives as often as people might think. Given this reality, it’s natural that Japanese school settings in anime predominantly feature Japanese characters—it reflects the world we live in. Moreover, I question the need to reimagine existing characters as Black or from other ethnic backgrounds. If the story’s world already includes characters of diverse ethnicities, that makes sense. However, many Japanese anime depict everyday life in Japan, where such diversity is not as common. This isn’t about exclusion or discrimination; it’s about portraying a realistic environment based on our experiences. I believe most Japanese creators aren’t trying to be discriminatory—they’re simply sharing stories that are authentic to their culture and surroundings.
