Something else to consider....a lot of the Black characters in the stores are billed as "exotic" in the advertising blurbs. My partner is Black, and she gets really tired of White guys thinking she is exotic just because she's Black. Of course, most character makers would like to think their characters are exotic (I don't see "Humdrum Vicky" or "Ordinary Vicky" in the stores), but please let it be for more of a reason than just that she's Black. lynn
