I could never really put my finger on why this bugs me so much, but this is it. There's already enough of the real world arguing what 'counts' as POC and it's depressing to see that dragged into fiction like this. It feels incredibly racist to say someone's skin isn't enough for them to be part of their heritage.

There's definitely a problem canonically considering these characters (most media does not cast anyone actually Jewish to play Magento and his kids, never have they cast someone Roma to play the twins, the comics are inconsistency about what skin tone and features the twins are allowed to have) but I don't think this is the way to go, particularly when it comes to Magento.
