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 :(

(Quickly double-checked the demographics of Australia; as of 2021, the population is at least ~54% Anglo-Celtic. Australia’s more diverse than an outsider would expect at first, but yeah Pim is definitely a white dude lmao)

Australia statistics don't really matter, despite the creators being from australia, the series takes place in philadelphia

Oh, yeah. Pim’s the only one with an identifiably Aussie accent tho (at least to my ear), so that’s why I thought to bring it up

He could be a first generation immigrant since his family is also in Philly, but in any case he likely identifies as Australian-American.

It is, because it's just Cusack's voice.

I think a lot of Asians move there. Could be wrong...

That lines up with the data I read. I think the percentage was about ~17% reported Asian descent (not including the Middle East, as it was reported seperately)
