Why is the warrior black?

Why is the warrior black, when his bio is white? Is this dei or a mistake?

He's black to specifically piss you off because the devs know how you feel about black people.

Does it not matter? It's like picking up a sword in game, and then when you're playing with it, it's a mace.

What do you mean his "bio is white"?

The warrior is Karui-born. If you've ever seen the Karui in PoE 1, it's probably not too big of a stretch to assume that his birth parents are dark-skinned like he is.

Are you serious? Look who is in the skill tree.

Oooh I hit a nerve.

I agree with OP, there's a mismatch between the character model and skill tree art. But he's clearly intended to be black. AFAIK all Karuis are black.

You mean the... giant picture of a black guy in the middle of the warrior skill tree, matching the black guy character model? Show a picture; what are you looking at, exactly?

Isn't he technically Karui, a pacific Islander type? The phrase "Tala Moana" was based on "Kia ora" which is a Maori greeting if memory serves.
