There’s a scene in the netflix show, Daybreak, where RZA as a narrator explains how eastern warrior culture became popular in the black community. Which is what i thought of reading your question. I couldn’t find a clip but here’s an article about it, and the relevant quote:
“It’s not your fault you want to be a samurai,” says RZA. “See, that’s the economical pressure being expressed as warrior code. It started when young black men couldn’t afford to go to the movies, so we watched kung fu reruns. We found beauty in things that had been neglected.” He explains the socioeconomic forces that raised a whole generation of “blerds,” spinning out into everything from Jim Kelly to The Last Dragon to Kendrick Lamar’s “Kung Fu Kenny” to The Boondocks to Wu-Tang Clan itself.
For a serious answer, as someone who grew up in a family that couldn’t afford cable television. DBZ, Sailor Moon, and Pokémon all aired on network, antenna, televison in the morning before school or after school throughout the 90’s.
So it’s probably a function of income more than race. All the poor white kids I grew up with worshiped those three shows too.
Your comment is too far down this list

He’s absolutely free to say that. The advertisers are also absolutely free to decide they don’t want to do business with him anymore. That’s not censorship, it’s the market and freedom of association.
He’s been trying to get that speaker spot for years, you have no idea what you’re talking about.
I’m not saying this article is bullshit, but most anthony it of the New York Post is bullshit
