By the end of Medieval Europe, European human trafficked African to America. Argentina made the exception by decreeing all people born in the country are free. This policy reduces the incentive of human traffiicking. The result is that Argentina has less African population ratio than other South American countries.

Greeks from classical period learned that cohesion is the key of winning. So, they built one goal and one team, regardless of soldiers' background.
Shakespeare's Othello first came into mind. The author of Three Musketeer is African-French, but the Medieval Europe period is over.
Isekai novels are written by Japanese, so they are catering the interest of Japanese. Japan is a stressful society, and its suicide rate is among the highest. Japanese people who have to work hard and face stress daily. The foreign fantasy worlds of Isekai novels is one of the get away. The exception is one Iskeai novel focuses on the losing loved one. In the novel, the mother dreams her son is teleported to isekai and becomes yuusha.
Since Isekai novels are written by Japanese, Japanese elements are often introduced into Isekai. Cat ear girl ambassadors wearing kimono is not uncommon.
People in Isekai speaks Japanese. It is as common as Jesus looks like African in African countries. The exception of African look is Musk. Talking about Christmas time. In West, people celebrate Christmas by having family reunion. In Japan, couples celebrate Christmas by checking into love hotels.
