OOC: Colors are races?

Vecerians are of the Vecerian species, usually pale white for the northern Vecerians, brownish- white or pale white for middle- Vecerians and darker skin or also yellowish- white color for southern Vecerians.

Oriental is a color?

OOC: Sorry that you couldn't follow the broader points expressed by the text; whereby, we tried to connect colors with races, without creating some stupid and/or racist remarks...as so often occurs with similar topics.

For your understanding.....oriental nowadays replaces the former racial profile that once was referred to as "yellow". ( yellow was not used...for obvious reasons; as past posts have not reflected too positive of a view.....as has the use of other colors; however, distinctions had to be made....which is why we presented a disclaimer to that effect. )

His Royal Highness was born in Darkaan, so he's Darkaanian, and Her Royal Highness was born in Estakuri, so she's Estakurian.

As a nation, we generally see skin color as just that, a difference of pigment. We don't really recognize race here. However, to answer the question, there are "all shades of the human rainbow" elected and serving our nation.

Our leader would be seen as...a Pale Grey, thus categorized as "black". And while we're speaking of it race is categorized through skin colour and lineage. Keeps things simple.

Uh, the current National leader is a Dragon, we do not really go off of colours to emphasise race or species, but regardless, her scale colour is cyan.
It doesn't mean anything, though.

by **Chuporosa** » Thu May 12, 2011 11:59 am

White, we exterminate any other colours.

by **Swilatia** » Thu May 12, 2011 12:49 pm

The current president of Swilatia belongs to the (native) Swilatian race.

She's also white, but that's her colour, not her race. Two completely different things here.
