neji and tenten are chinese, too. rock lee would bee bruce lee.

God ur stupid, the reason for that is in real life thats how it is.

people only focus on the one black dude. what about the one chinese dude? (Rock Lee)

Why would it be racist, it's made in Japan and there aren't many black people there. Besides, there are PLENTY of shows with only black characters, even a whole tv channel (BET)

I would say yes if he got womped because then you would know that they were making fun of black people, but having him kick the * out of the *** Hawk gang makes you think that black people are pwning ninja.

It's racist to notice but nobody can help noticing a person's race.

no

Not really.

Yeah, and all the asian characters just do karate. that's so stereotypical.

There are actually two... maybe more... but I see your point.

I don't think the artist thought cautiously about it, but hey... a white man could do it too.

I wouldn't think of it as racist...

yeh maybe because naruto has blonde hair and blue eyes? i dont know lol but Shino has black people's hair so w/e

ehh! Maybe! It could be that Japanese just don't know black characters! They jjanpanese they know nothing!! "I'm sawshaki! And i don't know what TV is because i like making art!!! WHORWAW!!!!! POW!" Japanese guy says. Seriously Japanese know NOTHING so think of it like that.
