[QUOTE="Guest 7031328, post: 9413761"] I suppose my problem with the solution coming from this is it's saying that it's not the source or the writer being the problem, but it's the existence of mixed-heritage. Now please don't think what I'm about to say is what you're saying, it very much is not, but it is far too similar with ideas of "mixed race" kids being something to be pitied or even should not be existing. I even used to have a friend decades ago (we stopped being friends not too long after this) who came back to our area after a few years being gone saying that it "was wrong" for races to mix, and that it was an awful thing to do to a child, completely ignoring "hey, I've supposedly been your friend since we were kids, and you're saying my existence is a problem?" You don't fix problematic depictions of mixed heritage by turning the game into one of racial purity, to put an ugly word to it. That's simply the wrong direction in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
