Imagine trying to argue that a character is 'tan' as opposed to brown, as if tanned people don't appear as a shade of brown.

Anyways, let's see how it turns out when patch drops and if it is indeed been 'whitewashed' then it is what it is. Up to this point '2P' has been nothing but a 2B colour variant, so if the designers want to take that inspiration and change a few things around then that's their choice.
