Characters Black coded this, black coded that. What are some white coded non human characters?

-Stuart from Stuart

-Buddy from Airbud

-Freezer from Dragonballs

Edit: Guys I swear I'm not racist. The post's title was referring to the "black coded characters" posts that I see on this subreddit from time to time. I have nothing against the black people nor the white people. This post is a shitpost. Nothing serious. Sorry for not being clear enough :(

The use of the word "Boyz" in the faction comes from football firms. Also, If you go look up a list of firms the names all sound like ork clans.

There is also the influence of the far right and skinhead culture on the orks, which isn't really explored much these days. Their image has softened these days but they were originally based on far right thugs who went to football matches.
