Really? I always thought he was African American.

Well he looks Latino to me, and his real name is Diego Armando, so... *shrug*

Meh, I always thought she was just a light-skinned African American woman: I've met folks who look similar. In any case, who were you thinking of then?

Godot.

He's Latino, though.

What about Gant?

Oh, frick. Completely forgot about him.

Well, we can say that all of the non white people in Ace Attorney have been murderers instead.

CAPCOM YOU SO RACIST.

Mia, Maya, and Pearl are Asian, aren't they?

They all look pretty white to me. ._.

I think AJ Phoenix is the closest to a non-murdering not white guy due to that serious tan he got while working in a freezing cold Russian restaurant.

Honestly, I really think that Mia, Maya and Pearl are Asian because their last name is Fey.  Fey sounds like an Asian last name, on top of which they come from a village called "Kurain"which also sounds Asian.  To top it all off, the rooms you investigate when you're in their village have a LOT of Japanese stuff in it.

Right, I agree, they're almost certainly Japanese in decent, but their skin color is more white than anything else.

It's the same way that Jinxie is white but lives in a village influenced by Japanese culture.

Asians can have white skin color, though.  Also, I think that the localization process is what made it seem like the Kurain village is white people with Japanese influence, but it is much more that in the original that it's a traditional village within Japan.  Maybe the same way with the example you used.  Of course, because of the way they look, you can start questioning on what even "white" means, because there isn't really such thing as distinct different "races" for humans anyway.  At least not biologically.

True, but in the Japanese versions everyone's from Japan to begin with. Japanese media makes everyone white for some reason.

At any rate, it was just a little side joke. I'm sure Capcom's not racist.

 



I played the DLC and I liked it. I loved how the judge was almost begging for the orca to be a witness cause that's how a lot of Phoenix's cases go and it was to be expected.
