What If Diana(Clementine's mother) Cheated on Ed(Clem's Father) way back when? he forgave her, but clementine is now 70-75% white?
(this is a joke. haha. funny. not serious. don't be all like "Diana would never do that don't be such a whore.")
You know better muhab. You either are mentally retarded, troll, marked by the fact that your mother had sex with a dog and you can't stand mixing races, or you are just plain stupid.
Clementine is written as being full african american, but I think the decision was made to soften her features to make her more palatable to a wider audience. She wouldn't be as offensive to caucasian gamers and it allows them to make a better emotional connection to the character that way.
I work in marketing, and believe me, white middle americans (which represent an astounding 70-80% of video game consumers in the US) are just turned off when minorities are presented in unexpected ways that are uncomfortable to them. Having to make an emotional attachment to a little black girl is a long stretch for most of us, no matter how liberal we pretend to be. Telltale probably just didn't want to deal with the headache, and I don't blame them. If she was a minor character, it probably wouldn't matter.

Kind of sad, but entirely believable. There's too much potential for cultural baggage getting in the way of attachment if her ethnicity is too well defined. Full African-American seems like a stretch anyway. My skin-tone is similar to that of S2 Clem and I'm White/Southern European.

i agree with the majority,she is African American/asian ,i think shes beautifully created and reminds me a little bit of the Rocks (Dwayne Johnson)'s mom and dad,Clem's mom might have asian relations just like Rocks mom,while her Dad is african american just like Clem's dad,take a look..
She is obviously not a complete african american, and anyone that says suggests so needs to get their eyes checked.
Many so called "african americans" nowadays have caucasian/white traits in their DNA without even knowing it, even though they look fully "black" they actually have some white/asian/whatever ancestors
And Clementine is much more lighter than them, which suggests that she is a very "biracial" offspring but mostly black and asian.

Ok does Samoan count as Asian in this context? I mean, isn't it part of the Australian continent? Also, don't Samoans look different from what most people mean when they say Asian? Man, this is so confusing...

Right and as you said "many African Americans have white and other in them". However dark or light skinned aka clementine mother. They still are African American. So whats wrong with acknowledging Clementine as African American..............
We come in more then one color, we have different features. However clementine is African American, her parents are both African American. Yes there can be African and African American with no white mixture and still come out light skinned.
Comments
Shes African-American. People constantly asked Lee if she was his daughter.
Christa was the only one to notice that she obviously was not.
Damn it! It was Clem's "I don't know." gif.
No matter how people or telltales explain about her appearance, she looks like Asian/African/White 30:30:30 and 10% of mysterious race. to me.
Another one of these threads? Mods need to lock this before some people get banned.

This one actually hasn't had much flaming yet. Just a little bit, but nothing major.
HISPANIC IM SURE D!!!! !!! !!!

that's why people should not mix race
She is one of the most beautiful characters I've seen in games. What's wrong with your eyes?
What if she's Spanish
she looks like ass monkey
Elf... just kidding probably African American, she also seems to have something Asian so I agree with the most of the comments around here.
African American.
African-american as suggested from the picture in season 1 episode 1.
Even tho I'd say she's caucasian.
You know better muhab. You either are mentally retarded, troll, marked by the fact that your mother had sex with a dog and you can't stand mixing races, or you are just plain stupid.
she is obviously a part of the citrus family.
budum tis

He's a troll... Don't bother with him, he'll go back to his cave in no time.

Clementine is so adorable, how can you even say that you horrible waste of space.
It takes one to know one

I'm standing by the dog-mom theory
African Americans come in more then one color. Clementine mother is more then likely a light skinned African American women.

I'd say she definitely looks Samoan.
In Mario Kart
and she got a skinny ass
Ok here's a stupid question, but what the hell does it matter what her race is?.
People are rasist?
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh its just game (relaxe) fuck face hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i like trees more than cave dirty ass hairy hhhhhhhhh
And thats because she probably had a caucasian ancestor down the line in her genetic pool, which was my whole point..
how its silly to talk about your mom in (game) hhhhhhhhh grow up
