The two most obvious answers I would have come up with to the original question have already been presented. So I'll just echo them. :) Basically, V3 does have some limitations in the various "shapes" that can be gotten via the supplied morphs (and yes as also mentioned, ethnic varieties of any kind are affected by this fact, not just Asians). And also yes it's true that many people really DON'T know that Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, etc. are actually different races. ("Don't they all speak Asian or something? And they live in Asia, right? Huh...I don't get it!") And further, I also agree with the feeling that many "Asian" characters being sold are not very Asian looking at all. There was one in particular (and I may be thinking of the same character as previously mentioned in this thread), that was billed as an "Authentic Japanese" character but with VERY DARK skin, and IIRC no option for a lighter skin tone. I thought it was kinda bizarre myself. I'm also reminded of another thread I saw once wherein someone mentioned seeing an Asian character for sale, but asked why her skin tone was so light, and that it made her look un-Asian.
