?? No that would be hispanic people

No. Hispanic people are Hispanic people.

I meant if you had to assign a color thats what most would call them, or at least thats how it is my area.

I am pretty sure african americans have many tones.
Some tones were indeed in the CC.

I'd disagree...I can't remember who, but someone aptly described them as really bad sunburns. They don't look right.

I have seen pure african americans who look almost white in skin tone.

then they weren't pure african. Truth be told no African American is pure. We all are mixed to some degree. Most don't know that though.

 You my friend speaks truth. It is unfortunate that so many have no clue about their background and history. We are truly not pure African. However, we come in some amazing colors

Yes its amazing what you can learn out there. And what I said doesn't just go for blacks but every race out there. None of them are pure even though they may look it.  With that said this thread is getting off topic. I would suggest a lock.

 Agreed these type of things stretches across every race. I also agree about this thread being locked. Anytime devs

People are throwing around the word "african" as a synonym for black. Such people have either never seen anyone from north africa or been there.

Perhaps they mean sub-Saharan?

They mean both. And yes thats why I don't like the term African American. Because most blacks have never been there nor do they know anything about the land. Its like white people saying british american.... Yeah it sounds kinda weird doesn't it.

I actually do check the 'other' box and write in "European American" on papers/documents/whatever.

I write "American".

Well, to briefly comment on why African American is used, certain influential people found the word "black" offensive, since they don't consider it an accurate description and that certain people even go so far as to make jokes about how "black" other people are (i.e. Person A tells Person B that Person B is "dark as the night"). There's also the "racially insensitive" use of the word "darky." That said, I personally am not concerned with mere words, but am simply used to saying "African American."

All besides the main point here. I say Bioware should give players the ability to have a (big) black hawke.. This stuff about being historically accurate is rubbish as there are dragons, warlockes, elves and sh_t. For pete's sake, Bethany has purple hair. Of course, I can't say that I have "gotten over it" and I was never under it per se. Just a convenience is all.

We have to draw a line somewhere.

I submit here and now that Black people are now Brown people and that Hispanic people are . . . still Hispanic people.

I tick Other and write Human, as anything else is just backward tribal affiliation bull**** without progressive thought.

Your thinking to close to the present. Do a little digging and track their ancestors migratory paths and you will see what I mean.

Well if you follow the lore, the only place black skinned humans seem to come from is Rivain. So, it would make no sense that Hawke would be black.

So how is referring to your ancestoral origins progressive, regressing to past designations is surely the antithesis of progession? 

[Arttis]

Considering much of history is uncertain and lost I would not see any of it as absolute.

Be open minded...

If I remember correctly Rivain is analogous to spain not Africa. When they dark skinned I think they meant tan.

No, because you are still referring to your past. If you *really* wanted to be progressive you'd write something like "homosuperior"

history is uncertain but gentics is not. We can read the genes and track paths. There's nothing uncertain about that.

No, I would do so if I had some interest in eugenics & selective breeding, which I do not

There is no longer a black skin color. Black is no longer a color.

White is no longer a color either. They are now known as Pale Americans.
