My point is if they want to reach out to blacks, rather than talk about how great they are because they fought the marketing department to keep too many white faces on the cover, it would be more productive to do something where the racial disparity is real: wealth. Everyone has a different situation. But we didn't have enough money for me to buy a 20$ book when I was growing up (I think that is how much PHB for 2E cost). I had to go to the library and take it out, until someone stole it. Eventually I did get the players handbook for Christmas. With books priced as they are now, they are out of reach for many inner city kids (where most of the non-white population is).

Not dumber language, but lets be honest black inner city kids use different language than white suburban kids. The books as written apeal more to upper middle class whites than the former.
