For example, it is common for characters in anime to die and be reincarnated in another universe and in that universe everyone is light-skinned. No explanation for this (I'm not saying there should be, I'm saying there isn't) they are simply light-skinned people. What I find interesting is that the same doesn't happen if the characters are dark-skinned, as it seems like they need to give explanations that others don't need to give. While the characters were reincarnated in another world and in this entire world they have light skin and are like that by pure coincidence and nothing else, the same does not seem to happen if they are dark-skinned characters. If they are dark-skinned, it is necessary to give a scientific explanation, a biological explanation, etc., something that does not happen when the characters are light-skinned. If they are dark it is necessary to give a thousand explanations, if they are light it is pure coincidence or the author simply wanted to.
I'm talking about creating something new from scratch, I'm not talking about replacing something that already exists.

It is to leftists people like yourself, who want to create laws to stop black people from existing and are tryimg to pin it on the Right.
Is it racist towards white people to create films, series and stories without white people?
Did you read my entire question? It seems not...
I did. And its problematic to people like you, who wrote "That's it, my friend. Let's destroy black people! Join me! No more black protagonist characters, black characters must be secondary or villains in all films while white characters are heroes!" to my answer in the question I linked to. You want to destroy black people, so of course even just randomly being black is problematic to you.
Did you think this was serious? It wasn't, I just threw a bait.
If you don't think a story where all the characters are black is wrong, then you're not a problem.
Not really.. It happens in Anime because most of the characters are Japanese, and even sometimes "White"..
The point is not that they don't need to explain why they are white or Asian in another universe they simply are Asian or white, but dark-skinned characters need to give a thousand explanations about why everyone is dark-skinned in another universe. I'm not discussing why it happens, because I think you can just make your characters however you want. I just find it strange that in a story where the characters are all light-skinned, it's necessary to give explanations that stories with only light-skinned characters don't need.
The point is that they don't need to explain why the characters or Asians, they just are.*
I'm not a native English speaker, so sometimes I can make mistakes.
I'm sure on your story you wouldn't need to explain either.. They don't need to explain because we expect the characters to resemble their population.. Especially since Japan is very homogeneous.. But you don't need to explain yours either..
No. Just do what fits best your story.
