Pokemon does get some black characters further along, however.

It's just a pet peeve of mine when people use "African-American" as interchangeable with "black". Like when Bill Clinton called Nelson Mandela the first African-American president of South Africa (derp).

It's one of those things when political correctness does get ahead of us, as we get trained to think of "black" as, not a slur like negro, but still less ideal than "African American", then you'll start calling other blacks that.

I was thinking more of Lenora and Iris from Pokemon Black and White.
