[many white guys]
And many black guys think it is ok for black men to get with any kind of woman, but not ok for black women to get with men of a different race. And many arab men feel that arab men can get with any kind of woman, but not ok for arab women to get with men of a different race. And many asian men feel that asian men can get with any kind of woman, but not ok for asian women to get with men of a different race.
Isn't the problem really men, not just men of any kind of specific race, but men in general.

How about uhmm...
A Black "MAN" ...
I remember when I first saw that black man spellcaster in dungeon, my exact words were "Whoa!" I called my brother and told him he responds "Seriously, a black man? Are you sure? Not Arabic or East indian? Wow, those must have slipped that in past Wotc."I challange Paizo.
If you really want to say something about diversity use a Black male lead. What we talked about in sociology class yesterday was (get this) "Hancock" and the non-existant kiss between Charlize Thereon and Will Smith, which subsequently lead to one of those class sessions where lots of people are shouting.
Now,a fter reading this thread leads me to a shocking conclusion, we don't use "Black" males. There's no black male leads...
One of the guys in class discussed how it takes no courage to use the black female, because we live in a white patriarchal society (still), and she poses no threat to white supremacy, and thus this is why you'll see people using a black female to achieve thier affimitive action roles but never a black male.
So I went to my space and Im'd some folks to make sure I wasn't buying into some crack pot conspiricy mess, and I was right that there's not really black male leads or iconics....
"Except for the guy with the metal Arm?"
I said "Huh?"
my friend (Who is hispanic) says "They in comics and in video games use the black guy with the metal arm all the time. You never noticed? LOL"
I've started counting.
Jax. from MK.
Barret.
Chad from Bleach.
Cyborg from Teen Titans.
Gauntlet from The Initiative.
...And the dungeon sorceror.
I'm not sure what to make of that except....Paizo, use a ,Black Male ICONIC, for great justice.
*sigh* but its too late isn't it.edit: It'd be more brave to give him a sword and let him be the dashing swordsman.
Paladin or fighter. I'd suggest barbarian, but I'm sure that'd be uhm... misconstrued somehow.
So what you really want is Roy from Order of the Stick, eh? I think maybe Sheriff Hemlock was a nod to him...

I think it's just a problem with reality. In my fantasy world, I am the only man. I'm a god. Other gods may exist, but they can't mess with me or my world. I'm the king. My entire populace is composed of hot females who never age, get fat, or otherwise become unattractive. They find me irresistable. They don't have sex with each other, they don't masturbate, they don't lust after anyone but me and they only have sex with me.
Many guys may have similar fantasies, and would choose that type of world, or something similar, over reality. It's less of a race thing and more of a "I want to poke all those holes, but you can't...especially you of a different race" type of thing.
