Just because she had a noticeable tan and accented lips doesn't mean you get to turn the melanin dial up to 11, Netflix. Jeez!
Although I'm not surprised, as they made Luffy brownish based off of Oda saying the character would be Brazilian in the real world, completely forgetting there's many different skin tones for Brazilians.
I double-checked and there seems to be no consistency among the different media. Sometimes she's "white" (pinkish skin tone, especially when she was a child in the anime and when colored in Oda's manga drawings). In the anime as an adult, she seems to be a very light brown with a shade of pink, sort of a Mediterranean skin tone. (Granted, some characters look a bit different when showing them again in the anime after years of not appearing)
I was going off the anime version of her, but as Luffy is somewhat yellowish, she looks pinker or "whiter" in comparison, so I see what you mean.
The thing with anime is that when there is a black character, they are UNAMBIGUOUSLY BLACK. Just look at Mr. Popo from Dragon Ball, or Dutch from Black Lagoon. No way would you be able to argue they were anything else.
Usopp has darker skin tone plus fat lips and kinky hair, and his dad is clearly black. Nojiko could be arab or indian if you really wanted her to, but never african.
Plus, barf. That actress is nasty. There are some good looking mulatto chicks out there, why are they pushing these bone-nosed zebra bitches?
Yeah, I was trying to figure out how they saw her and thought, "BLACK". She has a little bit of an exotic look which they exploited.

Netflix and some Hollyweird types are intentionally celebrating ugliness when they can, it's some fetish of theirs. And for black females they usually try to pick the most unappealing ones. Nojiko here is a perfect case. "Oh an exotic female that's sexy/appealing who plays a notable role in this arc? Let's make her uggo-African!"

She's not even tan, she's whiter than luffy
