The game is East Asian, so of course they're going to make the characters light-skinned. That's the beauty standard, and people want to ~~gamble for~~ buy pretty characters. Its basically just colorism with extra steps.

But characters don't have to be uniformly light-skinned to be pretty or make money. Fate has dark-skinned characters, and Fate is not exactly known for its moral standards. And miHoYo has generally not been afraid of breaking social taboos.

Anyway, I'm just disappointed that the region which should have darker characters has only one character darker than the palest biscuit. Maybe I should have seen this coming, oh well.
