May I applaud how civilized this discussion has been? As a black poser user, I appreciate that people want a variety of skin tones and ethnic features for their models. I like Will for example from Daz3d as well as Shandy and their International Beauties as well as many of the Handspring Studio textures. As for the semantics, personally, I am not so fond of the descriptives such as tan (varies for me depending on whether I've been in the sun or not), golden or chocolate (i'm not a watchband or a candy bar, thank you); I personally like African American and Black as long as people remember that we are talking about a complex ethnic and cultural complex. I work with someone who is Irish who describes himself as "green''; frankly, he looks pink to me...
