[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 5836889, member: 177"] In theory, on can have any skin color, and belong to almost any culture. But theory isn't a place most of us live, and we are, at least nominally, still discussing RPG products. Ultimately, your product has to be made for your customers. If your customers have associations between skin tone and culture, and you ignore that in your product, you are apt to confuse some of your customers, and anger others. No, it doesn't leave them out. It just doesn't give them a separate category all their own. They are "White - non-Hispanic", just like I am. But then, Brazilians get lumped into "White-Hispanic", when they often don't wish to be. The reasons why some groups get separate categories, and others don't, is based in current socio-economics and politics that are not suitable for discussion on EN World, I'm sorry to say. [/QUOTE]
