We have not started nominations yet, but I wanted to anyways clarify the characters I want to nominate: -Serge Battour from Kaze to Ki no Uta is a Roma pianist; since he's a manga character, his ethnicity is not reflected in the way he is drawn -Dick Grayson from Batman comics is canonically of Roma heritage, although he wasn't brought up in the culture -Damian Wayne from Batman comics and some cartoons is a boy of mixed Jewish, Arab, Chinese and WASP heritage; he isn't usually drawn to reflect that -Cassandra Cain from Batman comics is, depending on canon, either mixed WASP-Asian girl or an Asian girl; while it is usually aknowledged in the stories, it may not be obvious from the art -In most instances of Voltron, Allura is (more or less ambigously) white, Hunk is either Japanese, Latino or white, and Haggar and Lotor are purple space aliens. However, in Legendary Defender Allura is a Black elf, Hunk is a mixed Afro-Pasifikan teen, Haggar/Honerva is a dark skinned elf, and Lotor, being her son, also seems to be a man of color, especially since the narration codes his experiences as such. Takashi 'Shiro' Shirogane is a Japanese man who has not made an appearance since the original Golion. The ethnicity of a few other characters is left ambiguous, and given the show was animated in Korea in anime style and even normal humans have strange eye and hair colors, they may easily be interpreted as characters of color.
