Character Creation Has A Race Problem

[Anatha]

I know it have nothing to do with lights spectrum and I did know what people mean by "people of color". Though I did not have any idea on where it originated from, so that's good to know.

My point is that this fancy little term uses very clearly defined terms, then twists them into something nearly completely irrelevant to the origins of the word, THEN makes exclusions to that, fancy themselves prideful in being that (as part of a majority), while accusing the minority (if we consider the "people of color" as a group, that group constitutes ~67% of the world population) of them being discriminatory.

The whole concept there, the premises, are wrong. What's wrong with using non-white, non-Caucasian etc?! Seriously. Fighting fire with fire works, but fighting a bomb with a bomb does not.

If you can't tell what's wrong with what you just said, you're a lost cause. You're demonstrating the core underlying foundation of racism.

"I'm most important. Everything revolves around me, and everyone who doesn't look like me should he defined as being *not" like me."

Hm?! I'm racist because I said that giving fancy terms (incorrect in the use of the words it's made from) to certain groups of people just because they feel oppressed (don't get me wrong, many are oppressed, but many white people are oppressed too) is bad?! Huh?!

Do you even know what "language" is? Each word have a definition. Using existing words with definitions to form a term that relates to but completely twists these meanings, then using it for some ideological reason when the words are neutral, is bad.

Someone feeling or even being oppressed doesn't give them the right to destroy parts of culture, be it their own or that of another.

"I'm most important. Everything revolves around me, and everyone who doesn't look like me should he defined as being *not" like me."

Buy a dictionary, or at least use one of the online ones. This would fall under the definition of "egoism" (for the "I'm most important") and "narcissism" (for the "defined as being 'not' like me"). Neither have anything to do with racism. And on a local scale, the first part isn't even that. To an individual, they are the most important (with rare exceptions) and that is perfectly normal. Humanity is coded to pass their DNA above everyone else. The question is whether the "I'm most important" comes at the price of "so let's ruin those others people lives to make mine better" or "but everyone else have the right to lead a good life too".


I personally couldn't care less whether a game allows any particular skin color or facial features, so long as it have acceptable (aka realistic) proportions. I'll play whatever the developer decides to serve. Ironically, if I have a choice of human-like character, I'll pick Asiatic (I'm European) female (I'm male)...so a huge miss on that front from you.
