FF 7 Rude's Race

[Anthony13]

My brother thinks that Rude is white, and when I show him he's not he doesnt believe me. I showed him the movie and pics from the game and he still believe's he's white.

I seriously doubt it but could I be wrong? what do you think?

[Psychotic Ninja]

i think your brother is color blind. that or he's joking

[Almighty_gir]

haha, well watching the movie made me think of "the rock". which would make him simoan? which technically, isn't white.

[Anthony13]

hahaha thank you people, I'll enjoy rubbing this in    

PS: He wasnt joking

[bluesummers182]

wait wait.

You guys seriously think he isn't white?

well what is he then?

he could be asian.

I don't think anything else though.

Either white or asian. and he isn't THAT tan or anything.

here's something that will throw the debate right off, Rude's portrait from Before Crisis



Looks white in that, so my assumption is that he looks as he does in VII/AC due to tanning....

[Almighty_gir]

the only reason i pointed out his similarity to the rock, is that when deviding racial classes, he isn't white.

IC1 = White
IC2 = Black
IC3 = Asian (like, indian)
IC4 = Meditteranian (or anyone with an olive skin) - this would be rudes catigory
IC5 = Oriental
IC6 = Mixed race
IC7 = Other (i've never come across an "other" before...)

Tetsuya Nomura, FFVII Character's creator, said that when he was creating Rude he thought in South-American persons. O___o

[EmperorSteele]

Lots of people i know thought Rude was white.  Even though he has darker skin than everyone except Barret.

south american = Caucasian, and as we all know, Caucasian = white

[Almighty_gir]

Are you freaking kidding me?

South americans usually = Hispanic/Latino or, in other words, IC4 (olive skinned).

Technically, you're both right

The Caucasian race, sometimes the Caucasoid race,[1][2] is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as "relating to a broad division of humankind covering peoples from Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Central Asia, and South Asia" or "white-skinned; of European origin" or "relating to the region of the Caucasus in SE Europe".[3] The concept's existence is based on the now disputed typological method of racial classification.[4][5]
