The three human female all have European racial features. And the three human male heads have two white people and a black one. Why there is no Asian-looking one? I had looked for the "skin color custom" button but there is no such thing. Is a yellow skin so hard to make?

I finally chosed the black human male. I think he looks cooler.

All the human heads are caucasoid. Being they are either white are brown people (same facial features, different skin colour), there are no black faces in custom. Its probably because raven didn't have the time or initiative to put them in. I think its kind of amusing that they put more emphasis on the different alien heads than on the human ones.

People aren't brown, they're black. It's politically correct to say black and white, brown blurs the boundaries.

Wade misread my post. I said the game has the head of a white guy and the head of a brown guy (i.e. east indian). Black would be african, which have different distinguishing facial features. I never siad the word black was offensive, I'm just saying there aren't even black custom characters in the game. Making a white guy's skin dark in colour doesn't make him suddenly a black person. Thats whats in the game.

Three main racial categories for humans are Caucasoids, Negroids, and Mongoloids (they may sound offensive to some but are the anthropological classifications). Negroids being those of African descent, Caucasoids being of European and Middle Eastern descent, and Mongoloid being of asian and native american descent.

Of course there are combinations and mixes of these three main races which wouldn't fall solely under any of the categories.

Maybe because one of the 2 male heads is of mixed descent.  Also--I don't recall seeing any characters of asian descent in any of the Star Wars movies either!!!   LOL---On a lighter note----WHO CARES?!?!?! I mean really??? Find something better to talk about!!!! Are you one of those people that likes to turn anything and everything into racism??????

I think he just feels more let down by the fact he can't customise his character enough, no doubt he was wanting a character similar to himself..as far as the game would allow. I know I like it if I can choose a pastey white player who looks more dead than alive  :p

I'm sorry. That brown guy has thick lips. So I think he's African.  I either don't think that Raven should put all real-world human races into a game. I just think that there are too few human features (such as facial type and skin color) to choose.

Even I have to agree to that and I'm not the type of person who will very easily say women are pretty :p Yeung Chin Wah springs to mind, great voice too.
