I don't think there's anything wrong with Hussie changing the word. However, "I FEEL SO CAUCASIAN" doesn't really seem like even saying white is a good thing. You could even be saying the whiteness is making it creepier, like a cheesy after school special. Everyone's white and happy and brightly colored and nobody has real problems that aren't solved within an hour.

The idea of Dave the somewhat embarrassing white rapper is funny. There, I said it. White rap is often embarrassing.

Also--the issue is that this is a serial story that's taken several years to get through. Any acknowledgment and endorsement of fancanon is going to look cagey in that timeframe. It isn't a book he's eventually publishing.

I mean, it makes sense to be angry that none of the kids are nonwhite but that seems like tokenism; like some kind of Captain Planet team model of diversity. Isn't it better to say that the kids don't have a canon race and then include a variety of races in the official publications? If he went and retroactively gave the kids races or did that with the new ones he'd likely be criticized for getting it wrong. "How dare you make the kid with glasses asian" or "how dare you make the african kids recolors of the normal body type" when this is how he draws everyone including greyskinned aliens.

Leaving the fandom over shitty fans isn't exactly Hussie's fault. Are shitty bronies the fault of season one MLP writers?
