poop meter feature creep
Months after playing Telltale's The Walking Dead with my friend, we were talking about great Clementine was and I referenced her rareness of being a black female character, to which he replied that he always saw her as a little Asian girl. A quick trip to the internet didn't turn up anything explicitly telling, and we still disagree on what race she is. Her features and hair strike me as black, possibly with some white in her background given her paleness. Also, a picture of her parents shows they are both black, and there's the fact that everybody in the game just assumes she's Lee's daughter. I heard a rumor
that Clementine was adopted, which if true could make her being half white more likely.
My friend is adamant that she is Asian, with her hair resembling that of someone from the China area, and any additional race being white at the most; no possibility of any black in her, he just doesn't see that at all. He also says the way he views the game is changed with the idea that she wasn't Asian.
What do you think, GAF? Is Clementine black//Asian/mixed race? Are there any other characters from games that have such a disputed racial background? Not ones that are just ambiguously brown, but in a setting were people have realistic racial and/or ethnic characteristics and are implied to be of a certain group of people. Also, if anything is explicitly revealed in Season 2 of the game, please spoiler tag that shit.
