Yeah, while I understand some are tired of “forced-diversity” by the overly-P.C., guilty-white Tumblr crowd, (some go as far as insisting on making one, or two of the Mane 6 “transexual” to be even more P.C. sometimes) or how “cliche’” darker-skin Twilight is getting, I agree with you.
 
People can draw the pony humanizations however they want. I’ve seen both good & bad Twilight humanizations regardless what skin-color they are.  
(Also, people forget there are “black nerds/bookworms” out there to. Your race doesn’t signify what your personality is.)
 
You might be right, considering her VA is. ;) I recall, even some “Jewish” pony pics raise a li’l drama sometimes though, as some hate mixing IRL religion with pony. (As it’s a touchy subject, and most bronies seem to be atheist.) I will say the “Hanukkah Rarity” pics are cute regardless, I don’t care what anyone says.
 
Also, “darker-skinned” humanizations aren’t the only thing that generate drama. I’ve seen people complain over Pinkie Pie being drawn “chubby,” and such before.

Zecora’s “hair”, if anything, is straighter than Twilight’s, and as she was Twilight’s mentor it can be assumed she did a good deal of studying too. So, yeah, I don’t really see that as a reason to bar someone from drawing Twilight black. The point about facial structure is largely valid, though some people stylize or simplify their humanizations enough that it’s no longer an issue; and, as Beau Skunky points out, it’s tricky to depict those differences and keep it from looking like a racist caricature.
 
In all honesty, I don’t care what race someone decides to use when “humanizing” a pony (partly because I don’t really care for humanization to begin with, I’m sure), and I largely don’t care what their motivation is, even if it’s as base as wanting to feel superior to people whose humanizations aren’t sufficiently diverse. (If they want to display for all the world that they’re a stuck-up jerk, let ‘em.) I just don’t like it when people say that character so-and-so must/mustn’t be a certain race. We’re talking about making human beings out of multicolored, magical fantasy ponies, after all. This ain’t an exact science.
 
Besides, if you really wanna get down to brass tacks… Twilight’s Jewish. ;)

While that kinda has a point about facial structures, sometimes it’s kinda hard to do that without making said characters look kinda stereotypical. Some “diverse” MLP humanizations end up looking somewhat “racist” ironically, because of some artists going overboard with certain “ethnical” details on characters. >>675585

I honestly could find arguments about whitewashing and PC diversity or the fact that maybe just MAYBE out of all the hundreds of thousands pieces of fan art done by numerous of artists that does an all-white humanized version and yet the shitstorm that when someone does some characters as with dark skin is mind boggling. From an artist perspective, unless the artist is being paid, they don’t owe you shit. They could make a full black cast of the Mane Six if they want, make it Disney quality and with care of facial features, skin tone, and hair reflecting that and yet there will that asshole going “Not to sound racist…” yet still power through the statement.
 
There’s an artist who does a very nice Tumblr focus on Vegeta and Bulma’s domestic life from DBZ. For some reason, the choice of the Sayian Prince tanned skin tone caused idiots to question the artist’s choice of skin tone. The response of perfect:
 
“Dude, I have converted Vegeta to Judaism and allergic to peanuts… and the thing you’re most worried about is his skin tone.”
 
Most times, if the skin tone is bothersome, it’s sometimes the viewer than the artist’s choice of a color palette.

OK, yeah, it all comes down to opinion and personal preference and stuff, but oy vey, I’m beginning to doubt we’d agree on any humanized drawings. Aside from just not being fond of that category as a general rule; that we agree on.
 
@The Frowning Pony  
I love you so much right now. I’m confused as to why you’re using such a cute and cheerful icon in order to perform your admin duties, but still, I love you so much right now.

Yeah, no, because I’m not a dick or take it (too) seriously.
 
What people miss a lot from the complaints about humanized images is that a lot of people aren’t complaining that a character isn’t this or that way because they’re racist, but because that character is their waifu/tulpa/fictionkin and representations of them that differ noticeably from their idealized headmate version triggers them.
 
(not saying that there aren’t a load of racists floating about, nevermind generic trolls)

@ILoveAWhitePony  
Wow, no.
 
Swearing’s always been OK.
 
“This image is fucking awesome!”, always ok. “You’re all batshit crazy”, also OK. “You’re a faggot, eat shit”, not OK.
 
It’s real simple.
 
But herp-derp admin power abuse.
ILoveAWhitePony

Wow and I’ve seen site admins delete comments because they had swearing in them but… Wow. I guess Site admins get to swear and we don’t, that’s all there is to it.

I hope you’re not saying having personal preferences over certain body part features in regards to attraction is “racist”.
 
Because, like, I don’t find huge boobs attractive. Or hooked noses. Or joined earlobes. Or sky-blue irises.
 
Sparging over it or dropping “all animals are actually white!”, on the other hand… well, if that’s not racist it’s at the very least really damn dumb.
 
Whatever.
