Are Tekken players slightly racist?

[Iridius]

If we look at the character usage stats so far, almost every darker skinned or African character is at the bottom of the usage stats. Of the bottom five characters, three are of African or Middle Eastern decent (Shaheen, Leroy, Raven, Zafina). Panda does not count since she is effectively combined into Kuma's player count too.
If Eddy comes out and joins the bottom five I'd say it just proves my theory. Alongside the fact that half the people I run into online now run the customisation of a certain Austrian painter, I would accuse this community of being relatively rife with racism.

Maybe it's you who is the racist that actually pays attention to this nonsense, ever thought of that? People play who they like lol. Stupid a$$ bait topic. It's like that same "why dudes play female characters?" gt f outta here

Right so it is just a coincidence that Austrian painter cosmetics are everywhere and all the Darker skinned characters are in the bottom five in terms of player usage?

"If Eddy comes out and joins the bottom five I'd say it just proves my theory" - your theory is asinine

Well female models earn much more as male models.
White models earn much more as other-races models.

Is this racism? No, it's just personal preferences.

You should also check which kind of people play tekken.
E.g. let's say 40% of the gamers are white, 40% asian, 10% black, 10% others.
Some player prefer playing with characters of their own race.
That's not racism.
That's just statistics.

Leroy was overused af in T7 due to him being overpowered.
These characters are just low in usage thanks to being outclassed by other characters and/or feeling awkward/boring to play

Twofold
1. I am pointing out the level of racist customisations I come across (we need to be heard if things are to change).
2. I am pointing out that in conjuction with this, there seems to be a racist bias in characters in Tekken that I don't see in other diverse games like Overwatch.

A guy in another thread was making fun of someone for being Filipino, so I'm going to say absolutely.
