And I noticed how he does that--Shadow, in American Gods for instance, clearly is not white, and while is never identified as AA, it's alluded too toward the end with references to his mother suffering from sickle cell disease. He also flipped the scrip and identified a charector as "a white woman" rather than making "white" any more default in that book than he had too.

And Anansi is a great character--a sympathetic trickster God NOT out of a Nordic or Greek pantheon
