Someone made the argument that all of the kids in the story - due to their last names, a (ETA: early 1900's in a wealthy white American household) Southern upbringing in two, blond hair in the other two, and a mention of one of their direct relatives being white - are coded as white, even if it's not mentioned specifically.

Several people - who were then later backed by the creator of the work - called them out as being the true racists since the characters are supposedly able to be of any race (i.e. a blank slate). Which isn't what the original person (and several people after that) were talking about.

Yes, the characters potentially could be any race, but surrounding details in the text - at the best - cast doubt on the feasibility of them being so, and - at the worst - paint "white" as default while giving a vague last-minute nod to PoC for liberalism's sake.

I don't think they are supposed to necessarily be blond actually. I think their hair is might literally be white. We know the lot of them have weird eyes.

If we give them colors though, I always figured dave's hair was actually just albino crow feathers. :P

LOL this is very possible.
