No i'm not 'trolling' and btw i'm not from US, i dont know if my comment about the accent is considered offensive? i've meet a lot of differ… moreent people from the US and they all had different accents, they didn't sound the same to me. Ohh... and what about Diana's hair? maybe she got a new haircut, never considered that? anyway i'm not sure why is this a big deal, does it matter her race?
For someone that is so confident she is black your responses say otherwise. That still doesn't mean her race matters and why you have to prove shes black so much. The people arguing with you about it are saying shes Asian because of Clem's mother and her voice actor.
i'm not proving anything to myself. i know what she is. and i'll stand by that unless the developers say otherwise.
i feel like everyone that saying to not care about her race is white and doesn't get it. no offensive to white people.

yeah the comment of the accent is offensive. there's no african american accent. it doesn't exist.
asian people don't have hair like that… more. i'm not talking about the length, i'm talking about the texture of it. the way it looks.
you're not from the states, so maybe you can't see why her race is a big deal. but it matters. a lot.
I have a cousin that looks like Al Roker. We're from Bangladesh - a country that used to be a part of the state of Bengal, which was divided in half and the western half is now a part of India. My cousin has no African in him whatsoever, but he looks kind of like a black man, or at least mixed.
I was at this talk about race and how you can't always correctly assign race to people... and the speaker (this very mixed race man) thought I was a boy. Being mistaken for a boy was a bit embarrassing, but not surprising. I had a very boyish face/figure for a girl. Things aren't always that easy to label.
Like I said, I think, I had assumed Clem was mixed race - partly black, partly Asian.
As a person who immigrated to America as a child... I find it confusing why we still refer to people whose ancestors have been in the country for centuries as African-American. I'm Bangladeshi-American because that reflects my experience of where I've been. My child, if I have one, is going to be Bangladeshi-American too. And yet, people who are second or third generation from Europe are just Americans...
I get being frustrated not being represented in the media. For all of my teens I never saw anyone South Asian... now there's a bunch. It's nice. I wish the books we teach kids in public schools did a better job representing talent from non-White people better.
I'm not doing that. Clem is light-skin and I'm saying she's black. There are lots of races that are dark and not black.
Yeah, If that's w… moreorks for you.
It's stupid to argue with people online over something that's already made. I don't own the character and whatever I say she is doesn't matter if that creators say she's something else. It's better to just make your own stuff.

Her race matters. Whether and how we (people of color) are depicted matters. If nothing else, it matters to us. Do you follow politics in America at all? Does it sit right with you the way Trump described Mexican-American people? My family is Muslim. I am tired of all the depictions of Muslims as terrorists. I realize that a LOT of the terrorists have been Muslim lately, but that isn't my family and I don't want us to be lumped in with them. And I'm an atheist. Do you remember how Reagan depicted welfare recipients in the 80s? As welfare queens; lazy black women living large on government handouts. Do you want to talk about the whole slew of black men getting shot by cops? Or innocent black men getting convicted of rape because they happened to be at the same park as a girl that was raped? Of course depictions matter. You are privileged (and possibly blind or ignorant) for thinking otherwise.

I was joking. I love Obama, too, and miss him every day I read a newspaper story or watch Colbert or the Daily Show. So, pretty much every day. I just wish he'd been able to do immigration reform during his second term. That is a man who I think has a good heart and a strong moral compass, neither of which I'd say for our current president.

Racial diversity in gaming is still majorly in its infancy, and such a topic tends to be so easily brushed over, but I always assumed it was well established that Clementine is neither white, nor biasian, despite what Melissa Hutchison has said. Upon recent speculation we have reason to believe that Clementine has yet to meet her “real” father. However, I must remind you that there has been no such indication throughout the course of three seasons. It is similar to that of Dave Fennoy mistakenly saying Lee killed his wife as well as the senator.

Well, there is a minor resemblance, so I can see why she'd make that mistake from a distance. Plus, he could have the same type of voice for all we know.

The fact she was unable to discern whether that was her father from afar only proves that her father is indeed black. If however it was revealed that her father was in fact Asian I wouldn't have an issue with it as such.. but why feel the need to execute such a story arc within a matter of episodes? It makes virtually no sense for it to be done now.

Yeah, I feel like her mom would've told her. Like she would've seen him once or twice. Unless he was out of the picture completely. And if they just have her "real" dad show up out of the blue in the next season, how would he even know that was her? I feel like they should've mentioned this is like season 1. This feel like back-tracking. I don't understand why they're doing it now.

My thoughts exactly! Unless this "father" of hers is attempting to flatter her, coax her into joining whatever dark forces may be at stake, I don't know. I feel like that's something Telltale would attempt to do...

Perhaps? I can definitely see that being the case if ever that were to happen, but I feel it would be an immense challenge to take on within a matter of episodes.

Can you maybe, not care what color she is? Pretty sad you are so concerned in the need to prove she's black to others and yourself.
yeah the comment of the accent is offensive. there's no african american accent. it doesn't exist.

I guess my responses do? idk. I'm just trying to get people to hear what i'm saying.
Clem's mom isn't asian.
I didn't knew it is considered offensive, sorry about that, not my intention.
yeah, you didn't know. it's fine.
Apparently Clementine is the Obama of Walking Dead, people just got an issue when wondering about her race.
lol
well people know what Obama is.
Squint-y eyes
Yellow skin on photo compared to the others in it
Not Asian
oy vey
so you're saying her mom is completely 100% asian.
asian people don't usually have hair like clem's mom.
and you described asian people as yellow. good job.
please tell me where she looks asian. i'd give you like half asian. maybe. but not 100%.

yep. you get it. representation is extrememly important.
the reason why white people are called americans instead of like european-american is so deep. all of this is honestly.
i have a sister who looks a bit like Clem and people ask if she's mixed all the time. i never get that because i'm much darker than she is.

A Muslim Kenyan; a socialist hell bent on destroying America. That's what you meant. Right?
yep.
if all people see of PoC in media is negative then they're gonna start thinking we're all like that. We're not.
Oh God no. I like Obama.
I was joking. I love Obama, too, and miss him every day I read a newspaper story or watch Colbert or the Daily Show. So, pretty much every day.

lol yeah i know.
yeah i miss him too.
I think someone said that model might be custom/fake, but I don't remember who.
Edit:Here it is.
yeah i thought it might be, but i used it anyway.
Everything is black & white to you isn't it?
No gray areas (meaning; maybe <100% skin color).

oh yeah that's true.
it does feel weird for them to mention that this late into the series.
She even mistook Lee for her father... so I highly doubt that if Ed were not her biological father she would even be aware this far in the apocalypse?
yeah exactly. I'm not sure why they're doing this now. Maybe it was a mistake like you said.
Well, there is a minor resemblance, so I can see why she'd make that mistake from a distance. Plus, he could have the same type of voice for all we know.
Ed was bigger than Lee, but they kinda look the same. Kinda.

To be fair, Ed might indeed be a stepdad that she more or less accepted as being her daddy.
Some of the bigger storytelling problems in a nutshell.
Yeah could be. That happens all the time. But it just feels forced. Like it's too late for that.
God I hope they don't, but you know telltale
Do they do that a lot?
I mean I'm well aware that telltale fucks up a lot in the storytelling department, but I think I've ever seen the back-track.
Perhaps? I can definitely see that being the case if ever that were to happen, but I feel it would be an immense challenge to take on within a matter of episodes.
True.
