EDIT: My mistake. He's never been dark skinned and leather faced. I was mixing him up with someone else. He's always been bones (except in black where he was white and wore a mask made of his friend's skull) and in the few instances that suggested him with flesh, he was white.

Then it's quite understandable why some fans would be pissed.

They changed a characters ethnicity with no explanation, 7 games into the series? 

This up coming twisted metal is a complete reboot starting from scratch when it comes to story, though. Similar to how TM:Black in 2001 just sorta ignored the past games. (It was the only game where Mr. Grimm was human before this upcoming TM, and something tells me not many people complained back then when TM was much more familiar.) Mr. Grimm is nothing like the Grimm of old. He's not the grim reaper anymore or an ex-soldier turned cannible.  He's got a completely new story and motive. He's pretty much a new character. I guess it's all debatable though.

Jaffe does say that he can understand that some fans would be disappointed that Grim isn't the ex-Soldier wearing a skull mask character that he was in Twisted Metal: Black, though. So he's not really talking to the people that have that legitamite reason to be disappointed. He's talking strictly to the ones that are just being racist about it.
