    ^^^ That is literally part of your opening paragraph to the thread.

    There's #2.

    Not EXACTLY saying, but hey, you're kind of hinting that you're using your own ethnicity to fuel this crusade. so, #2.5

Like in real life, if I put a foundation on that matches my skin color, but has the wrong undertone, it looks funny. There too many duplicates of the same color and undertone.
    #3, only stressing this one because it coincides with your statement in the opening paragraph.

As for the highlanders, I don’t want to look like a weight lifter, and many other black girls don’t either. What if a black or brown boy wants be toned and slim and not massive and aggressive looking, but doesn’t want to be an Elezen or Miqo’te (which doesn’t have his features anyway)?
    #4, not stated explicitly, but using the other quotes as a reference, we get the picture.

    But, I mean, there's everything plain in writing mostly.
