        Ryu and Akuma are Japanese.

        Ryu is Japanese, Ken is half Japanese, M.Bison has Asian features possibly Thai .

        The nips make them look white, therefor, they are.

        >Magneto is israeli not white

        Based as hell.

        Correct, thank you anon.

      SF is on easy mode for diversity because its roster has always focused on a global participation. MK on the other hand only has a handful of characters from Earth and has to share most of its roster with inter-dimensional wizards and faceless ninja.

      Their white people still represent multiple cultures, having a Brit, Russian, Canadian, Cajun, and Southern girl. Quit using your own narrow views of race to discredit other forms of diversity.

    Darkstalkers only has one human character, and she's white. Is that problematic?

    Akuma is a demonic okinawan, not black. How fricking moronic would you have to be to see him as African? He has soft, flowing hair.

                Black Americans seriously think they're the only minority group in the world.

                It's what some idiot said recently, yes. I forget what the context was, however.

    Didn't MK11 solve racism? I remember there being a brave moment involving Jax when the game released.

    >racism
    Video games are not for you. Find another hobby. Try to get laid. Do some self reflection and work to better yourself. If you can only think about racism then your life is far too privileged and chances are you are the worst of the worst kind of human being. Have a nice day. Namaste.
