Could it be said that this is a pattern or that someone who comes to this conclusion is exaggerating?
For example, in many animes the characters are Asian and right-wingers don’t seem to mind. Maybe because most of the characters appear to be white, or because many Japanese animes have an actual cast of white characters. They don’t seem to mind if in a fictional world all the characters are white or Asian, but on the other hand they would mind if in the fictional world all the characters were black or had dark skin. Is this really a fact or an exaggeration?
We can quibble about whether or not a second character merits the title lead or not, however it’s still inaccurate to use it as an example of a counter to the raised point. The show’s main lead was a white male character. That’s inarguable.
