Fan outcry stems from what many feel is a failure to accurately represent the cultures each character pulls from, including the fact that Mavukia, Kinich, and Ororon — who seem to be inspired by real-life deities like the Maori’s Mahuika — are all white. It continues a trend in Genshin Impact that has seen players begging for proper representation.
Now some of the actors behind Genshin Impact’s faces have begun to chime in. Albedo actor, Khoi Dao, published a statement on X/Twitter calling for change in Genshin Impact.
How exactly is “not seeing past the color of their skin” racism? Please, this is a genuine question.
Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
Your are saying Black actors cannot be cast in roles because their skintone is not “correct” for the role.
So… this means that a black person can be cast for the role of Hitler? And a white person can be cast for Nelson Mandela?
Yep
I think it depends on context and execution and culture. Key and peele did a black Hitler I think, and nobody cared
Someone should write them a strongly worded letter for infringing on white representation and ruining the man’s good reputation.
