Sorry, that was a reference sort of to Scott McCloud's "understanding comics", and the idea that when you have "blank slate" faces in comics, the audience projects what they expect to see onto them. So I do sort of buy that... not "aracial", but the "blank slate" idea that Hussie was trying to explain. Sure, they're light-skinned and colored #FFFFFF, and definitely we live in a white-privilege society, but I don't think the claim that they were intended to be coded without a specific race is far-fetched or dishonest. I think it's just naive.
