    how can you have a half asian, half Caucasian cast? I mean, shouldn't they stick with one or the other?

    No it really isn't...

    There are Earthlings (one nationality), Saiyajins (so far the only one casted is Goku), and a Namekian as the main characters. The only two people they have casted who I would let by as a different race would be Goku and Piccolo at this point, and I am not even pointing out that Goku looks basically exactly like the Earthlings.

    When it comes to DB/DBZ and questioning my facts, you are automatically wrong. Here's why!

    By bi-racial, I meant multi-cultured. Even though the show is Japanese there isn't a set culture in which the main characters characters come from. You can make general assumptions, but as long as the cast looks similar to their character I could care less about race. And your own post proved my point also, so gg.

    Uub: India-Area
    Native Americans: That one tall guy from way back when.
    Aliens: Goku, Piccolo, etc.
    Japanese: Yamcha/Yajirobi/Chichi/etc
    Caucasian (or appears so): Bulma, that dude who hosts the World Martial Arts Tournies, Mr. Satan, and various other minor characters
    Chinese: The guy with "Kill You" on the back of his shirt.
    Red Ribbon Army: Russia!
    African/African Descent: Various minor characters.
    Tien (???)

    Plus many others I can't remember. Point is, you have to try to fuck up on the casting.

    Where do you get these "facts"?

    Ubb - Is a traveling fighter...

    Caucasian: Are you sure they are Caucasian? Most of them have the same skin tone as some of the characters on your Japanese list.

    Japanese: Yamcha/Yajirobi/Chichi - the only one I can agree with here is Yajirobi, and that is because his skin tone is a little different than your "Caucasian" group, but the rest, Chichi and Yamcha, both have the same skin tone as your Caucasian group. So again I would consider most of this group and the Caucasian group the same.

    Red Ribbon Army - An army... Armies are in other countries all the time, and Russians are considered under the Caucasian race.

    I agree with you there is a multi-cultural civilization going on, but like in all multi-cultural civilizations there is going to be a majority race (a race where most of the population comes from) such as the U.S.. In the U.S. Caucasians make up just under 75% of the population and in Canada Caucasians make up over 85% of the population. I'm not saying you are wrong with the multi-cultural civilization in DB/DBZ, I'm just stating that first of all, because of the type of art it is hard to tell the difference If a character is an Asian and Caucasian, and Second of all, even if you could tell they would most likely be one race, or most of them one race.

    I really just want to know the sources of your information...
