Did you read the first part of Monte's post, where, for
years the only characters that could be depicted on the front of a TSR module was a white male?
Did you read the middle part, where he ticked off the reasons why this was a stupid policy?
Did you read the end part, where he said that there was an agreement that this nonsense was dead and gone, and marketing -- because they believe that white dudes will only pick up products featuring white dudes, which raises some interesting questions about rap music's popularity in the suburbs -- forced it on them?
This isn't political correctness: This is fighting against a wrong-headed and stupid marketing-driven decision about what appears in your D&D books.
