I feel you, and I'm not saying everyone couldn't relate. I'm really happy people loved Lee. I'm just saying the implications of a colored character is more far reaching and positive than you might think, mate.
You know, I grew up in Asia in the 80's ... I was a lot more black (while actually being white and blond ) than you have probably ever been... I really feel you, while at the same time I just can't relate. There is no black, white, red, yellow, green, blue, purple people for me... there is just people.

When I play a game I can't decide on their ethinicity, I gladly go with the developer's choice.
