So... What's up with the dark-skinned Twilights in fan art and the whole "Why is Twilight a nigger" meme?

Simply put, the Derpibooru comments section of any given picture involving ponies or humanizations that are religious and/or anything but whiter than chalk is a terrible place to go when you need to reaffirm your faith in humanity. Especially if anywhere above zero characters is Muslim and/or Arab and/or wearing a hijab.

At least I don't like humanization because I prefer them as ponies, it has nothing to do with race or religion. :P

Dafuq, bronies.

To be fair, though, I'm a little confused as to the whole humanization/skin color thing.

Is Twilight supposed to be... a Pony-Equestrian zebra? :blink:

Zecora is obviously supposed to be some kinda African, so, obviously, her humanization would have to be black.

Are there... African-Equestrians in Equestria?

The land where Zecora's species hails from. She mentioned she came to Equestria from a land far away in Bridle Gossip. There are more countries than Equestria. There could be a griffon country, a dragon country, a changeling country, a donkey country, and a zebra country.

Zebras are endemic to Africa.

There may be a far-away land full of zebras, but Africa is a continent in our universe. Therefore, unless Africa also exists in the MLP universe, where Earth's zebras come from is irrelevant.

Well, for one, there's no indication she is.

Are any of the other ponies black? Why not?

Are Zebroids the African-American of Equestria?

If that's the case, then Ponyville is seriously white-washed. :lol:

I mean, for every Twilight's First Day, there's Cupcakes, or some HiE rerun or humanized pony nonsense. Or Foalcon.
