I only really have a couple things to say:

1. I can't say I've really seen that many white-looking Carlos pictures, but that could be because I simply don't follow people who've reblogged them, unless you're meaning that "Hispanic" can't qualify as "dark".

2. Carlos' description is honestly really freaking vague. Where I live, "dark" can be used to describe even people who are white - but tend to have olive skin and dark hair/eyes. So it's entirely possible that the people drawing those are going from that perspective since we literally have no guide lines for what he looks like beyond a vague "dark" and "perfect hair".

Before someone comes screaming at me about ~OMG! POC ERASURE!!~ That totally is an issue, and one that should be taken seriously. I'm just pointing out that there really *are* ways to interpret the description of 'dark' where it might not actually *be* erasure on the artist's part. We simply just don't know.

[And yes, for the record, I'd much rather Carlos be Hispanic and have been on the magic school bus
