Hrmm... Dutch from Black Lagoon? Afro Samurai? Darker than Black?(no pun intended there, actually a few dark pigmented characters portrayed fairly) a few minors in Full Metal Panic and BECK... Some One Piece character? Lewis from Blood+ but nobody would get it. Yeah, Japanese are incredibly racist so not too many dark-skinned characters make it into anime except from the most liberal, daring, and off-mainstream broadcast productions. Except for comedic effect, like the afro guy in Bleach who is "in charge" of Karakura town.
Also noticed the same racist tendencies when I was living in Ecuador, during a study abroad program with 30 or so other students. The black guy in the program, by himself, couldn't get a bus to stop for him... f'd up sh't...

And here's an especially good one. Actually, it's kind of painful to watch in a way, but after you get over that, these kids are freeking great, just go out there and declare your otaku-ness! What do you care what other people think!! After watching this, you should know, you won't be the first black to cosplay!
I cringed at that expression......
