So... After 4 ME games I still can't romance an African-American woman?

*sighs* Nope, what would be nice is if they created a non stereotypical WoC. I understand why that would be a problem for you.

Hmm, I understand your confusion. You don't see them as stereotypes because you think this is the way PoC really are. So, you don't see what the big deal is. Great to know.

It's nice to see a classic observed but updated with a more modern touch and not executed in the fashion of a hammer like so many trolls do: you present bait in the form of allegations of racism and present a pretense of seeking discussions by way of vague replies yet will re-draw from actual engaging in a discussion where you'd have to provide actual arguments. Rather than simple silence, you proclaim that the very fact that the poster seeks a discussion with you at all is evidence that said poster will be incapable of understanding your points.

Or am I mistaken by how similar your behavior is to this style of trolling and you actually do have points to present in favor of your statements? For one who seems so terribly interested in participating in threads about or related to race and who seems so certain of their views, you seem to so shy away from ever actually presenting what thoughts gives you that certainty of mind.

On the one hand I agree but on the other hand, I'm kind of glad because of the meltdown some parts of fandom would have over it and how they'd trash the poor woman. 

That said, the original Cora kind of reminds me of Dutch from Killjoys. So awesome.

Watch Archer.

I'm sorry but I'm of mixed white/black heritage, so are several of my relatives and none of us look remotely like this. That woman looks very white with maybe, *maybe* a low percentage of black heritage in her. I don't think this is what the OP meant by a black or mixed heritage black woman...


I totally agree. We should stop using the term African American when referring to black people in general. I'm of African descent but I'm definitely not American. This is a strange generalization that I'm really not comfortable with, personally.

I seem to vaguely recall a (possibly apocryphal) story about something like this happening during the 2012 Olympics.

An American reporter became slightly confused when an athlete answered they had no idea about what it was like to be "African-American". When questioned why that was, the athlete had to respond that A; they considered themselves Black  and B; were part of the British Olympic team.

A lesson that sometimes "political correctness" does not equal to actual correctness.

I thought Ashley was black? Or at least a Quarter?

That reminds me, once while browsing the IMDB forums(when those were a thing) I saw a Black-British actor being referred to as "African-American". 

Another similar face palming occurence was on gamefaqs when in reference to a certain black character some users couldn't wrap their minds around the notion that "black" and "hispanic" weren't mutually exclusive terms(as if all those black colombians and other such hispanophone blacks don't exist).

I agree. She reminded me of Hannah John-Kamen.
