If someone has european and african ancestory they are black? Even tho they are more close to their european ancestor?
Is where the white âraceâ came from, Also the real americans are red, the asians are yellow, the polinesyans are also red. THE WHITE AMERICANS CAME FROM EUROPE, just so you can remenber.
Yes, but people have this strange âneedâ of labelling people by their color, and its worse when they treat for example black blood as a curse, âif your family has, you are black even when you dont lookâ. Its not shame to have black blood, but people seem to include all those people who dont consider themselves as black people anyways, and they cant relate to those characters that should be ârepresentingâ them. Thats the real problem, those people are more represented by Sombra than LĂșcio.
Well at least for me all the representation Blizzard did so far was great, they didnt add a âToken gay heroâ or a âToken black heroâ, for me, they are taking their time with the black female because they dont want her to just be black.
OK bye, is morning here already

what i donât get is why âblack and femaleâ?
Whatâs with this combination that has to be in the game RIGHT. NOW.
I mean, itâs not like the game lacks variety, thereâs at least one hero for every ethnicity. Weâve got american, irish, african, egyptian, native, chinese, korean, japanese, etc. Every continent has at least two representatives.
Stop acting as if blizzard is racist and this game is uninclusive because they havenât added specifically a black girl.
ps: i donât consider having a black girl forced or stupid arguments like that. Itâs not like a black girl has to have a justification.
Iâm just curious why of all things, this specific thing is asked SO MUCH.

It starts becoming a lot more rational when you look at it as a way to consolidate power and resources, and an easy way for the elites people to divide the common people to maintain that power, rather than as something that is a legitimate attempt at classification.
White Latinos are probably the next group to get folded into the banner of whitness that arenât currently there, just like the Irish were not too long ago.

This is untrue. Media can educate, even fictional work that is not attempting to educate. People pickup messages from that media all the time. And education can and does change the mind of ignorant people.
Representation has benefits not only for the people being represented but also how others perceive them.

Absolutely. All in the Family was very much about the viewersâ journey as much as it was about Archie Bunkerâs journey.
The problem is now if hero 30 is a black female everybody is going to say they released a black female hero because Apex Legends did.
Geographically Egypt is in Africa, but egyptians donât identify themselves as black, they identify as middle-eastern people.
Also how dare you say old Ana its not a queen

But for example in overwatch. What would the message be if there was simply a black female hero? There wouldnât be a message for people to take in, itâs simply another hero but this one is a different skin color.
Yes, education. And I seriously do not see how simply having a black female in a game would suddenly make an ignorant racist/sexist think âoh I guess theyâre okâ.
There is already so much evidence and examples in real life of different races being practically the same yet ignorant people ignore it, you know, because theyâre ignorant. So if common sense and logic wonât convince them I highly doubt a fictional game character will.
Itâs only real benefit is now a black female can say âhey Iâm in this gameâ which doesnât really do anything or change anything itâs just a personal preference.
Maerz, if this is the sort of contrived issue at the forefront of your mind you are pitiful.
Literally no one would say that considering how long modelling and commissioning the art for the trailer takes
I donât know because this community is full of surprises. Asks for one thing then complain about it later when they get it.
Pretty positive theyâre wearing weave but okay lmao go off. Sincerely a black female.
People take in media messages passively, and are informed by the number of them. An individual media piece is unlikely to change anyoneâs mind, but a lot of them will. People learn through repetition. Including a black woman in Overwatch might inspire some individual people to change their mind but most likely it wonât. What it would do is contribute to the lack of images of positive black women, black women as the heroes. Which is not an image a lot of people see, and their view of black women is shaped accordingly. If more things like Overwatch included black women, if there wasnât always a reason they needed to be included or just negative, but it was just a normal part of media then that would help educate people.
Just because they are from Africa does not make them black

is not even bait at this point
Yeah⊠theyâre not black.
Theyâre Arabic. Theyâre Middle Eastern. They arenât black.
There ARE black arabs, black folk from the Middle East, but they are much darker skinned than Pharah and Ana, who are⊠just⊠Egyptian Arabs.
