It's funny how people get attached to this topic even when it's just about fictional drawn characters. But yeah, for the sake of data: Just put a color filter on the images, tone the skin down and put them back into the training set. Is that a "falsely equivalent set of data" to represent those groups? Who knows. Probably, if you really want to believe in that. But before we go any deeper into this completely out-of-context racial representation argument, keep in mind that the process I just described is the exact same thing actual artists of said fictional drawn characters use to achieve the results in question. |

If we understand the ancestor comments as asking for more diverse representation, then no, because ganguro and many other anime archetypes and their clothing and accessories are ultimately Japonicentric, in the same way that you might consider angels and demons contrasted against each other post-antiquity Eurocentric.
My opinion on the matter is that it's not necessarily a worthy goal, but there is a more distinct difference to representing people of different races even in anime faces than just skin tone.
