Not your screen monkey (he/him)
When I was in high school, a rural Wisconsin high school about a half hour outside of Madison, two of the most enthusiastic D&D players I knew were black. But since the black:white ratio in the school was something like 1:80, they were largely isolated from black peer pressure. And while I don't really know the family situation of one of them (he moved away relatively early), I played a lot of D&D (and other RPGs) with the other one. He came from a multiracial household. His father was black and largely just tolerated us, but his white mother (who came from an even smaller rural town in Wisconsin) was happy to play host. She was disabled and, I think, just really liked having the company and her son having a social outlet even if it was of the geekiest sort.
So, yeah, kind of outliers because of their circumstances - and thus allowed to be more comfortably outside the conformist norm.
