As a Korean myself, I would like to see more Koreans being portrayed in anime shows, being it a stereotype or not.
About stereotypes, I only have a grip against black stereotypes in anime. It's not like Americans shows are helping either is this department.

and James in Blood+ was positively portrayed. In the early 1900s, Japanese propaganda posters showed Japanese soldiers as tall, white skinned, and looked very 'western' - whereas they had posters portraying Chinese, Koreans, and even Russians as darker skinned and 'squint eyed.' |

I personally think that black people are relatively treated well. There are many good black characters in Anime. It is Hispanic whom I regard as less highly treated. They are not portrayed as negative people. But I have seldom seen them in Anime, though Japan is really known for friendly relation with Argentina, Brazil, Peru and so on.

The category of "Hispanic" is an American thing isn't it? Meaning that in other parts of the world, people from Latin American aren't seen as this separate race called "Hispanics" but just different geographically... Correct me if I'm wrong but that would explain why they're not portrayed specifically as a separate "kind" in anime

Russians like Maria (Sakura Taisen) and Balalaika (Black Lagoon) are generally portrayed as courteous, cold, apathetic, calculating and militaristic/military-conscious. Quote:
But then Japan-China relations were somewhat sour as well over Japanese government's denial of its war crimes against Chinese. But I once thought the reason many Chinese characters such as Li Syaoran (Card Captor Sakura), Hei/Li Shengshen (Darker Than Black), Lee Bailong (Shaman King), and Tao Ren (Shaman King) were portrayed as angry, impulsive, hot-tempered, apathetic and bitter persons was because the Chinese's bitter resentment and arrogance left a big impression on the Japanese.

Well we can agree to disagree, but many good black characters is definitely pushing it. While they're are a select few, they are FAR from the actual normal that exist within the Anime spectrum. After seeing the fodder killer bee on Naruto, I officially gave up on diversity in manga/anime. For that, I read American comics. |

Going by this thread, Monster has to be the best anime ever. XD
and does anybody have examples of hot black anime girls? I don't remember seeing a sweet chocolate portrayed, ever. No I don't want a black girl with an afro talking in jive, even if she was hot. |

Nope, none come to my mind. The only non stereotypical black girl I've seen from along that lines is the girl from RE5. She is based off of an biracial lady from Australia I believe, but the character herself looks full African. She's pretty hot in an artistic, 3-D style way I guess. |

ARIA mixed a fair bit of races but gave them an "aria-esque" personality rather than anything related to real world.
Going by the names, the ARIA cast could be comprised of: Japanese (Akari, Ai, Postman, Grandma, Akatsuki) Italian (Alicia) Chinese-Italian (Aika) Japanese-Italian (Akira) African-British/American (Athena) English? (Alice)

No it wasn't. In the manga, it was just some random book. In the anime, they changed it into the Koran but why a BRITISH vampire passing the time reading it briefly without any real reaction somehow=terrorist book is beyond me.
