Portrayal of dark-skinned characters (black reader's pov)

As much I love this manhwa for its storytelling and amazing art-style, I'm not fond of how darker skinned people are portrayed more specifically, black foreigners. They're either heavily tatted gangsters, and violent. It seems used to make the opposing lighter skinned character look better in contrast, I doubt its intentional by the author. But as a black reader, it's leaving a bitter taste in my mouth of how the darker and/or black men are portrayed in this manhwa. I'm not accusing the author of any malice intent, it's just something icky that I picked up on.
