I know. I'm just on the precipice of insanity- seeing the same shit over and over again thinking and hoping AT LEAST SOMETHING. Would change. And it won't. And it hasn't. And so I'm venting to appease my insanity. Cuz ya know acknowledging something that's there gives meaning to there actually being something there to address even though no one WILL address it if it has nothing to with them and so I had to be the unlucky fellow to willingly OUST myself for the tight ass that I am who is unfortunately black and pissed at the world for it's LITERAL OBSESSION OF BORING UNORIGINAL PALE SKINNED JERKS WHO TAKE PRIDE IN OPPRESSING PEOPLE OF ANY COLOR JUST SO THEY COULD GET A HEAD INNA RACE LITERALLY NO ONE ASKED FOR OR EVEN REALLY PARTICIPATING IN JUST SO THEY FEEL A LITTLE BIT LESS INFERIOR.
So yeah I'm just insane just ignore me.

Yeah, no worries.
I understand it’s frustrating that in like basically 90% of manhwas, Americans are white. Most of these comics are made by East Asians, who have a long history of obsessing over a light complexion. In the Asian community, it’s known that there’s also quite a bit of racist behavior from EAs to other Asians because of superiority complexes (also the skin color) So it doesn’t surprise me when they always go for the same trope.
Unfortunately, you’ll see many stories with the same looking characters. Maybe when the newer generations grow up, there’ll be more diversity when it comes to characters from other countries.
i know i am late but i really do be upset too. I am american black and native so even when i see a lot of black authors i wish we would get the regular tropes that i love like this one. Having to know that they really only like lighter skin. Go for some lightskins it's not that hard for them to make dark skin characters i have seen enough to know they just refuse to make them good mc. Cause they have to either look a certain way Barbarian, elf, child, or exaggerated facial features. It's sad. But i fully support your thoughts.
What is with these Korean creators constantly depicting America as blondes with blue eyes?!?!?! DO THEY NOT KNOW THAT OUR GREATEST OLYMPIANS ARE AFRICANS AMERICANS OR WHAT?!?!
I'm dropping this for that reason mainly and the spoilers. ( ⩌⤚⩌)
