This should seem like racial politics 101, and yet this pattern still continues. Another recent example is Hyrule Warriors' characters Lana and Cia. Both are more or less the same person, yet the evil Cia is given notably darker skin for no apparent reason.
This isn't to somehow say people with dark skin can't be portrayed as villains. But it's damn noticeable when your shortcut to show "this is evil version of ____" is to give them a tan.
In short: Yo, stop with this basic-ass shit. You should know better by now.
