It's difficult to pin actual ethnic origins on them, however, given that some are from the moon and they are frequently Dark Skinned Blondes. ∀ Gundam's Loran Cehak is definitely brown-skinned, as is Earthrace noble Guin Lineford, villain Agrippa Maintainer, and side characters Keith, Miashei, and Joseph (with varying shades), along with plenty of nameless background folks.G Gundam Chandra (Indian), Conta (Kenyan), Chico (Mexican), Frank (Cuban) are the fighters other than white or East Asian shown.Also, the origin of Shakti are up to debate, with her name suggesting Indian descent. Victory Gundam featured at least one female, Afro-American main cast member and a couple of other kids who were not white.Though it could be argued that they didn't have too much of a choice, considering that they spent most of the middle part of the series in Africa.

Other minor blackish characters also show during the course of the series, like Masai N'gava, a female Zeon's pilot looking to clean up the name of her dead mentor. Gundam ZZ features Rakan Dahkaran, a ruthless and rather dangerous ace pilot that heavily contrasted with the recurrent goofy Bunny Ears Lawyers that preceded him.(He might also have been black to fit the trope.) Apart from that most people looked a lot the same but were probably evenly distributed between Asians and white ones. Mobile Suit Gundam, had at an Afro-Argentine character, Ryou.Though it is at times a little hard to tell the 'white' people apart from the Asians since they used to make not such a big fuss about it. Gundam has evolved a lot since its beginnings.If a Bollywood movie set in a distant, alien-filled galaxy features an all-Indian cast with other races in minor roles, and there is no in-universe explanation for the imbalance, then it's an example of this trope. Note that Humans Are White doesn't have to be about white people exclusively. In older live-action works, this occurs because the great majority of actors were white, and The Hays Code prohibited mixed-race romantic pairings of characters and the actors who played them. Plus, if the story is based around a particular real world culture's legends and mythology (Greek, Norse, Japanese, Zulu, whatever), it is to be expected that most of the cast will belong to that ethnicity (indeed, exceptions run the risk of being Black Vikings). This trope can also appear in alternate dimensions or histories as well as in futuristic space stories.Īrguably a little more justified in Sword & Sorcery works, which are usually set in an iron age culture where travel is difficult, and you might have to travel a long distance to encounter significant ethnic diversity.
