I definitely see it, too. Diablo 2's Paladin was black, and more recently Last Epoch (diablo-like game) also has a black Paladin. I'm sure if I sat down and tried I could think of more, but those two sprung out at me immediately since I love the Paladin archetype, and get mad when I'm stuck playing someone I don't want to be.
Black character named "Rook." Did they just see the word "crook" and erase the C?
The law-abiding empathetic paladins always end up being black dudes. It’s a subversion of our observable reality.

If we're talking Diablo, then don't forget that Tyrael's human appearance in Diablo 3 was a black man. The literal archangel of Justice.
