Character Creation Has A Race Problem

[Bahd_Monkey]

Under the nose options, there's are no truly wider options (I'm not saying the nose has to take up the entire face). There are no larger fuller lips. On brown skin tones, this makes the character appear ashy and in severe need of lotion. Skin tone alone is not diversity. Sure you can make your character Sudanese black, but if the nose and lips are slim and thin, is it really a black person? No.

Your premise that all black people have wide noses and full lips is an offensive stereotype.

I get that we're now all just here to be outraged, however, different ethnicities & races do have distinct facial features that tend to be more prominent within the group. Obviously there will be variety, and there can be a good amount of it, but trying to claim that this is now all just an offensive stereotype is something else.

Anyhoo, check out these three chicks. Three different races for sure, right? How can you tell? People who have more experience at discerning features may even be able to take a guess at ethnicity.

Nope. Definitely all human.

The truth

Nope. Definitely all human.

Well, if I asked for species you'd be correct.

I am not a species. That's for ANIMALS.

I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.

Humans, or rather Homo Sapiens, are a species.

Human is a race as well. Race is a group of related individuals. It can mean anything from the Human race to your immediate family.

Uh... it's not though. Most black people do have those distinct features. Especially Africans. I'm not being stereotypical. I live around a lot of black people and am black. We have those features though obviously there will be exceptions.
