Neither of whom look nothing at all like big titted blonde blue-eyed anime girls. Same with the dudes in anime which are 2m tall.

Again missing my point faggot. I’m only talking about the face and the how hair doesn’t magically make anime girls white. Many different colors of hair is used, so apparently a girl with orange hair in anime is automatically Scottish to you.

They are factions commonly found amongst whites henceforth get fucked. And yeah, gingers would be irish/scottish predominantly so the normal thing is to assume that she's of irish/scottish descent if she's ginger. If you see a ginger you don't think "holy shit a congolese!" do you?

You see a black girl with dyed blonde hair: HOLY CRAP WHAT A SEXY WHITE GIRL
 
I've thought about this before, in addition to why Black people love Spongebob Squarepants. I have a few points.

1. Like most people said here, most millennials grew up with this stuff (myself included), Black people are far from exclusive. I've definitely seen plenty of white guys still sperg about DBZ.

2. DBZ was cool at the time because most other cartoons had "kid gloves". Most American action cartoons rarely showed people beating each other up and death. Black kids are particularly drawn to that, they don't want to be talked down to (as did most white kids). Spongebob Squarepants was similar in a way because it had no morals, no "very special episodes". While most post-Ren & Stimpy cartoons adopted its gross-out humor and comedic style, only a few maintained its irreverence, Spongebob being the most obvious. Ultimately, it comes down to the fact that Black kids probably saw Western cartoons with morals and overt sentimentality as "white authority figures preaching to you", which is of course anathema to black people. DBZ was about kicking ass, Spongebob was about having fun, period.

3. Probably the most simple explanation is that anime isn't made by white people. This one also ties into why Blacks of an earlier generation loved Kung-Fu movies. Pretty much everything that came out during that time was made by white people, so when they see someone "non-white" kicking ass, they love it. It doesn't matter that there is very little solidarity between the Asian and Black communities (as a few armed grocery store owners might show) or that native Asians don't give a shit about racial politics, all that matters is that Black people had someone to look up to that wasn't white. Bruce Lee and Goku were far more appealing than Warren Beatty and Batman.

4. Masculinity. This ties into point 3, Black men are hyper-masculine and love fighting, and the heroes in shonen anime, kung-fu movies, and fighting video games are a good outlet for that if they can't box. Also, most black men are fatherless and those non-white masculine figures can fill in the gap.

5. As many people have noticed here, most Black people are just into shonen anime that was shown on Cartoon Network. However, I have noticed that when a Black guy gets into some real weeb shit, they get into waifu culture hard. I think that partly has to do with the fact that anime is much more overtly sexual, with even non-hentai series having plenty of fanservice, which appeals to hyper-sexualized Black culture. Compare that to most Western media, where sexuality tends to much more toned down outside of pornography (partly because of religion in the past, now because of feminism). The Japanese aren't afraid to show off the boom anime babes that make you think about the wrong thing.

6. Reality sucks right now, doubly so for millennials, triply so for Black people. When reality sucks you tend to regress to your happy place, which is childhood.

Agreed on all those points, and as weird as this sounds, most of those same traits are also common among white hillbilly millennials save for the third trait, particularly in Appalachia (I'm sure Thomas Sowell would have a field day with that one) although hillbillies also lean a bit more into video games in addition to fighting anime and Spongebob.

Black guys love vidya too, but while the avergae black millennial likes DBZ and Naruto equally as Call of Duty and Resident Evil, the hillbilly likes DBZ and Naruto but also likes vidya a bit more, namely violent shooters and survival horror games while I've noticed black guys from the same age group lean more towards fighting games and hack & slash like Dynasty Warriors or Devil May Cry.

Spongebob is popular, and so is The Simpsons (well, maybe not Zombie Simpsons) since both of those were cartoons that were about having fun and in the case of Appalachian hillbillies, The Simpsons got a lot of flak from uptight conservative Boomer parents in the region so there was this rebellious feel to watching The Simpsons, playing violent video games, or watching anime on Toonami and Adult Swim.

Tellingly, you see a lot of "Bootleg Bart" T-shirts that had Bart either blackwashed or Bart with a Confederate flag. Black millennials and redneck millennials love Bart Simpson, especially since he's a fixture of childhood nostalgia just like Goku, Spongebob Squarepants, and Naruto Uzumaki.

Also, while the big anime among black millennials are Naruto and Dragon Ball Z, hillbillies will also tend to have InuYasha in there as well. A lot of hillbilly millennials also liked Inuyasha as well as DBZ and Naruto and that one had a lot of crossover appeal with boys and girls as well, I've noticed this both IRL and online.
 
Because Dragon Ball Z and Power Rangers were pumped into poor people syndicated television until the forced cable conversion of the mid 00's
the black fathers that didn't ditch their families kept that indoctrination of shity Wheeb pedo toons and passed it on to the next generation of gender fluid twitich vloggers.

Urkle was on a cereal box, Obama became president, and for the first time black babies could openly like gay nerd shit without being rapped in the street by gangs
it's not rocket surgery.
