I’m not joking and I’m not trying to be racist in the slightest (I’m mixed lol), and if you don’t believe me search the reactions on YouTube from the latest game Sparking Zero, 95 percent are black YouTubers, even the smallest channels. Why is that? I’m not from USA, if that changes anything.

      Dragon ball is huge in latin america because they were the first to get dubs in their language, in a time where spanish dubs for any cartoon were very underserved. Usa airwaves were saturated with animation for kids. Latin america had to buy rights because there was very little home grown production.

      They also got the dubs way way sooner than viewers in the united states.

      Right time and right place, and it snowballed from there.
