I'd have to say you win the nerd award for knowing what thing each ranger morphs into.

To your credit, I did laugh my butt off.

I have two darker characters! :P My monk is pastey white tho. Well, actually she looks sort of asian. So hey, I <3 minorites

I agree with ya tho. Not a lot of diversity hehe. I do see different skin tone often enough though.

i'll freely admit what a nerd i am. the subsequent beating of the dead horse with the 281,000 spin-offs of the show ruined it of course, but i was 12 when the original original show first hit and it was bad-ass. voltron live-action, come on! robots martial arts and dinosaurs! what else could young boys want in a show?

I have what appears to be/close to a black female e/me
I played an erudite enchanter (also female) in EQ on TZ for 2+ years so it seemed to fit

Didn't really notice a shortage myself /shrug

i've seen plenty of black characters in GW. one time i saw this one black female ranger with blonde hair, that person must've been color blind or something. it was pretty hilarious.

Got a black ranger, a tan ranger, an uberpale ele, and a white warrior. Ph33r my colorfulness.

Not exactly sure what the OP is trying to incite by making this topic, but my answer isn't "well don't accuse me of being racist, I made such-and-such black character."

Instead, I'll just say the truth. I enjoy playing the white characters more. To me they are projections of what I would prefer to play AS given the choices presented to me. Would I party with black characters? Yeah, it's not like I'm a white power advocate. I'm not going to jab at someone because THEY chose a black character. That's their choice.

The reason the OPTION to change skin color is to match the personal preference. The appearance of fewer dark-skinned characters versus light-skinned characters should be quite apparent--people prefer playing as the latter more. It's kind of silly to ask why a person in real life is white or black and not the other, and then complain that there are so few of one type, isn't it ?
