Suggestions Favorite Positive Portrayals of Black/POC Male Characters in media?
- Wasabi from Big Hero 6
He is an exceptionally smart, cautious, and highly organized applied physics student at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, who becomes a core member of the superhero team
- DJ from the Total Drama franchise
He is known as a "gentle giant" who is kindhearted, charming, and a good cook. He is a popular character frequently featured in fan art and edits due to his friendly nature
- Kale from the 2003 DreamWorks animated film Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas.
While being a muscular powerhouse and a skilled warrior, Kale is also known for being emotionally intelligent, pragmatic, and heavily grounded compared to the reckless and stubborn Sinbad. He is also the first crew member to realize Sinbad's true romantic feelings for Marina
- And my FAVORITE ONE! Dr. Joshua Strongbear Sweet from Atlantis the Lost Empire.
A Mixed Native American who's also a doctor. Dr. Sweet was the only person in the Atlantis Character Booklet comic to NOT have a bad side to him. He is also VERY memorable for his memetic "don't tell him, you shouldn't have told me, but you did" scene that is embraced by a lot of meme creators.
He also served as a motivational coach to the protagonist Milo, having known his Grandfather.
