	Till, as I mentioned elsewhere, they find a way to make the white version work again. John Stewart--a glaring anomaly--aside, they're usually meant as placeholders. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 4 comments) (Show 4 comments)

	It's not race, but nostalgia. As with New Coke, Classic Coke will always win out. Your beef should be with the idea that a character was created as a 'replacement' in the first place, rather than an entirely new product/character.
