It wasn’t a bad question, don’t worry so much.

It’s my fault, I probably shouldn’t have asked the question, purpousely derailing the thread. I’m sorry to you, the others and especially to Tavi.

She’s playing the world’s saddest song on the world’s smallest violincello because some people just cannot keep their goddamn I’M NOT RACIST BUT bullshit out of completely unrelated and inappropriate threads, and it’s crapping up what should have been a unanimous standing ovation for this heartbreaking work of staggering genius.

Yeah. I tend to imagine Luna as an ivory-pale European princess and Celestia as looking rather Indian in skin tone and dress.

Zecora was kicked out of her Zebra homeland because she constantly spoke in rhyme and it annoyed the living bejeezus out of all the other zebras. the end.

I was only asking an honest question, I wasn’t trying to start shit. Though it would’ve been better in a dedicated thread, I just wanted a discussion.
 
I’m of the opinion that I look for cosplay accuracy aside from skin color. I’m also of the opinion that none of the Mane 6’s personalities are dependent on an ethnic culture based on real life; that gives them flexibility if you choose to.

You know I’m really concerned now that writers will explore the other kingdoms without ever having fully explored Equestria. I mean hell it’s gonna be incredible to see Zebrica/Zavros, The Griffin Kingdoms and Cervidas, but damn it what about Los Pegasus, Baltimare, and Filly Delphia!

In the end,the show need more zebras IMO because i really want to see some Zecora backstory :-P  
(crossing fingers for a s5 episode taking place in the Zebra Country/Kingdom/Independant Republic/Whatever you like
 
Concerning the part about black people dying their hair with bright colors,dont take it too seriously it’s just my opinion that very pastel bright color/pastel color clash a little bit with dark skin but if its what you like i have no right to stop you

No no no, Rar’s British, AJ’s at least part German, Pinks’s is Amish (with a possible bit of German, course most Amish ARE German), Rainbow and Flutter are either Italian or Greek, and GOD DAMN IT IF STILL HAVN’T FIGURED OUT TWI! (I’m guessing part Polish, I don’t know Lauren’s half Polish) aaand Spike’s with Twi, don’t know. BAM
 
Aaalso Lyra’s Irish, Bon Bon’s French, Dr. Whooves need not be mentioned, Tavi’s Italian, Vinyl’s ethnically British but born raised american YEEEAAAH!, and Derpy no idea, yeeet.

Also I see Background Pone #6D70’s point it just looks stranger when a black woman colors her hair read, pink, green, etc. Perhaps it’s just american culture. In Japan a kid would be severely bullied for not having black or brown(colored) hair.

Yes.
 
If cosplayers have the wrong colour skin then it’s gonna look bad. But there’s almost no decent anime with good black characters, so I know they have nothing to work with. There are also very few Asian characters. Most anime characters look more accurate done by a westerner, regardless of their canon ethnicity.  
Almost all of the ponies are clearly white Canadian women. Few other looks go with their voice.
 
It aint racist. You better not try to start shit.

@drumpowa  
Think about Japanese cosplayers. Why do so many of them often look so stunningly good? Because many anime characters are japanese. Imagine a black dude cosplaying Inuyasha, wouldn’t look right, right? Well how’bout a pasty white guy playing Chad (Sado) from Bleach?
 
Most Bronies (myself included) think of the mane six as ethnically white. In my opinion it’s not about racism or ethnicity bias. But rather following show cannon or broadly accepted fan cannon.
 
OOOR . . . good’ol fashion reasoning, what personally irks me is when someone shows human Luna with dark skin and Celestia with light. Makes absolutly no sense given their jobs.
drumpowa

@Background Pony #6D70  
Well, here’s an honest question. Would this mean that actual dark skinned Pinkie (or any character that’s not Zecora) cosplayers would be less aesthetically pleasing compared to a lighter skined one?
Background Pony #5572
@Lawful Girly  
I’m all for diverse ethnies humanization but however sometimes we must admit some combination doesnt mix from an esthetic point of view,for example a very dark skinned Pinkie Pie clash horribly with bright pink hair IMHO however i found some pictures of Middle Eastern Twilight that work
