Blacks.

Media in the west currently overexpose blacks past the point of natural revulsion and are made out to be more desirable than they actually are. This combined with black grievances against whites plus the tendency to turn shows into addressing some kind of political agenda, especially something that one may not agree with, puts people off of western media. It doesn't help that these shows look to add more diversity (immigrants, muslim women, gays, trans, etc.).

Anime and all that stuff you mentioned is not constrained by "diversity quotas", doesn't use media as a political platform that westerners understand, and has few to no blacks in it. East asia especially has an eye for aesthetics, and there are many people who value European arts and culture ("Paris syndrome" probably being the most notorious of this mentality). asian media doesn't pander to anyone other than other asians.
