Character Creation Has A Race Problem

[Lunaxia]

Western media is consumed on a global scale. 1 in 5 people in the US are non-white. Up to half the population of major cities like London and New York are non-white, and in some cases white is no longer even the majority. Multi-culturalism is growing rapidly. "But there's more white people" is an incredibly old and weak excuse used to cover the heavy bias towards white people that still exists, despite there being no shortage of other races in the industry or in the audience.

No, it's not a case of apathy "because everything is racist/ sexist" lol. It's because while people are fine saying that slurs and harassment are wrong, they don't like having it pointed out to them that they have benefited from a system that excludes or discriminates against other ethnicities and become incredibly defensive. This thread is a perfect example.

The hypocrisy is strong in this one as usual.

So says the only other person with an even bigger chip on their shoulder.

What "references to real world religions" are you meaning exactly? I can't think of any.

Taoism, from the glamour. Angels and devils, Christianity.

I used the shown nationalities as an example that Hyurs are very much humans, since one of the main arguments against OP's customisation request is that they're not and that "IRL has no place in FF" when it's already rampant. We have European and Asian Hyur options available, so why not black or other races? There's just no adequate reason not to.
