yeah..have you noticed, though, that the current designation is women and minorities? I've seen basic character types of all ethnicities even in basic Poser (have used several..though in Bryce you can't tell..?..;)
I wonder what Shade (the Japanese 'Poser'..sorta..;) has for it's settings? One of the most popular recent models has been Maya..(also Asian)..I remember the Brown Sugar debacle..I just thought they meant the song..;)
There's a school of analysis that says that media (programs, whatever) reflect the environment that they're created in. I would not class your average computer programming staff as a representative sample of the population at large (I support them, among others, at work..;). There's nothing stopping any of us from using any ethnic characters, so as long as they're used responsibly..shouldn't be a big deal.

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
