Minorities in Final Fantasy

Have you realized that in not too many FFs do they include minorities, such as I mean all of those that are considered to be the minority in the US excluding the Asians. Final Fantasy mostly has Caucasians or Asians in their games, for example Yuffie, Rinoa, and Yuna all look to be asian even Tifa and Aeris in Advent Children, but they mostly put in Caucasians. The only black person that I've seen in any FF is in VII and that's Barret, where are the others?
I know that Wakka is one but I don't know which one. I've heard people say that he's hispanic, he sounds slightly like one in his accent, but I doubt that he really is. So do you too think about the lack of reaching out to other people in FFs is lacking?

Final fantasy has nothic to do with ethnic minorities. Therefore the lack of it doesnt bother me. In fact i never even considered it till just now

Raijin Buddy
Kiros Dona
General Leo Lucil
Blank? Maroda
Lani Mindu/Minwu
Baralai?
I'll list the rest laterhttp://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...tton/point.jpg

Who is General Leo? and I think she was referring to ones that you can actually be and blank is definetly white.

How many black people visit Japan do you think? Which nationality do you think they're trying most to deliver for? I think if they had it their way everyone would look asian or non-descript. Tidus totally looked caucasian while you were playing, but during cut-scenes you could clearly tell he was meant to be asian. That doesn't mean they have something against caucasians too, it's just they're asian, their characters are going to be asian or mystical. You want black people in a video game, black people need to help create a video game. If I wrote a story, most of the characters would be white, 'cause I'm white. I think it'd be a little presumptuous to try to cater to a culture or group that I can't really relate to, because I'm not them.

Hmph, you're clouded but even in some of my stories that I write the main characters are Caucasian eventhough I try to add blacks, asians, and hispanics in them too or that's being racist.

A lack of ethnic diversity is not racism

He doesn't look black at all. Hell, he looks like Bruce Willis.

He doesn't look black, but he's brown. Why are "black people" called black, when their not even black?, their brown . Although white people are called white, when their not white either. But thats because there is no colour the same shade as "white people". Bruce Willis!:laugh:

I really don't see how anyone could consider that black/brown or whatever else that implies a African ancestry (ok, there's is no Africa on the FFVI world but you know what I mean...). If square really intended to make him black, they would have made it obvious (eg Barrett).

Blackmage might be black, you can never tell :p

But blackbelt and thief from FFI seem to have skin abit darker than figter and whitemage or redmage but that could just be a tan though...
