He used to make comics with racist jokes and all, but he's very clearly learned since then. He's a human, he makes mistakes. OH NO, PRIVILEGED MAN MAKES MISTAKES, CALL THE FUCKING PRESSES.

At least he's trying. And I think he's doing great. Especially with his recent post on Calmasis.

This! So much this.

I don't think he handled the situation very well at all, but I honestly don't think he was trying to be racist at all. (And to be honest, while I can't see Rose and Dave/Roxy and Dirk as being anything other than white, I can definitely see John and Jade/Jake and Jane as being some other race.)

And it's obviously very possible for a non-white person to live in an upper-middle-class suburban home, so I don't really understand the argument that JOHN HAS TO BE WHITE BECAUSE HE LIVES IN AN UPPER-MIDDLE-CLASS SUBURBAN HOME! or whatever.

As for surnames, there's the whole thing about them being born in a laboratory, so that doesn't really matter. (Hell, it's canon that Jade's surname came about because her grandpa had a speech impediment as a baby and mispronounced the name of his dog, and that Egbert was not Nanna's maiden name, so...)

TL;DR: While I do agree that he handled things pretty poorly, I also think he's honestly working on it and that it's quite conceivable that some of the kids are not white.

IAWTC. I've only read Homestuck recently, but from his posts, Andrew Hussie seems like a pretty cool and reasonable dude, even if he does get sarcastic at time.
