Gonna assume you meant to reply to me since we have the same icon, but its because this is entertaining.
Iâm trying to delete it but it doesnât look like I can. My apologies for the mixup.
I hope that youâll also note that there were a lot of us that were on your side. While I donât really care about the ethnicities of the characters in the game I fully support your right to make requests about them for whatever reason you see fit. Keep on keepinâ on.

Hm Yeah good point. I think she is Afro-Latina. We donât have confirmation on that but she certainly looks like she might be.
If they confirmed her as such people might be happy about it, but until they do I guess people just arenât sure since she is an animation.
Lucio is Afro-Brazilian. Not all black people are from Africa you know.
I think Brigitte was added, not only because maybe they wanted a new support hero, but because sheâs not just some random character. Her story is connected to lots of other heroes, and Overwatch does care a lot about storytelling, even if itâs just a FPS game for some people.
I do agree that Iâd love to see Middle Eastern, Hawaiian, Asian or Latinx characters (as a Latina myself, Iâm a little biased lol)! But I donât think there should be a competition regarding âwhenâ these characters should be released. Everyone deserves to see themselves represented, but literally no one can deny that Black women are SERIOUSLY under represented.

Youâre so opposed to something that doesnât even effect you in the slightest. OP is right, black women in this game are underrepresented. When Overwatch literally caters, to every other race and gender in the world but black women, then you say âquit victimizing yourselfâ, when all OP wants is something that everyone else already has; youâre coming off as a bit of a racist. Look at how long we had to wait for Doomfist, and we still couldnât get an American.
I did yes, and yes, case of mistaken avatar.
What about females from the US? We have no American females. What about Chinese males? Or Korean males? Or Japanese females? What about Canada? Thereâs no hero from Canada!
There are so many different groups of people in this world and it would take ages for them to make EVERYONE happy. Let them introduce new heroes into the story naturally instead of trying to make them forced for the sake of âmuhh inclusionâ.

Ok,i was a little confused. No, Reaper doesnât look black at all to me, he looks latino.
@Jask When someone says black they arenât talking about the location someone is from. Lucio is black for sure.
Pharah an half Canadian/Native American
âLooks Latinoâ isnât a thing.
Obviously the notion of a Black Woman merely existing as a playable character is a bit much for some peopleâŚ

They all originate from Africa via the Atlantic slave trade. Some got shipped to South America, Mexico, North America, and the Caribbean.
no where does it say hes latino the only reason you think that is because he has a mariachi skin. hes from California
Actually, Pharah is half Egyptian / Canadian. But she is from Egypt, and thatâs where her base of operations is. As far as we know, sheâs never even been to Canada. I donât really consider her a Canadian character because she is not actually from Canada.
