I'm of Asian descent. If I were next to a person of European descent next to one of Native American descent, and we were all photographed in gray-scale, we'd still look quite distinct despite the fact that we all have gray skin.Having said this, the art doesn't really bother me, except that it breaks reality a little bit. There probably should be some additional morphological distinctions in the art simply because of geographical diversity. But putting that into a campaign world is a lot of work, and quite simply is not an easy task. If it can be done, great. If not, no biggie. Fiction and art are always centered at least in some respects to what you are and what you know, and that includes appearance identity. This should not be taken automatically as an indicator of deliberate misrepresentation - although sometimes it could be.And maybe we shouldn't be making judgments on others' *supposed* prejudices either way.</blockquote>
