Nothing displays this fact more than having to argue with people in rpg's about how shitty it is that you can create white humanoids and then lots of other types of "people" but not any type of BIPoC. Most games don't even have hair texture that matches my own. They'll have you being a black dude with Goku's hair, if you can get "black" skin at all.
It's always maddening when I see people say, "Keep politics out of the discussion." Politics are in everything. "Keep politics out of the discussion" is just another form of saying "We only allow you to reinforce the politics of the status quo."
