    Actually, if you look at Reaper's default model in the Hero Gallery, his elbows do appear to be white.

    How that works when Gabriel Reyes is very obviously dark-skinned IDK. Maybe Section 31 put him through the same treatment as Khan.

    I know that Pharah is Egyptian. Historically Egyptian people are black. But nowadays they have ligh brown skin like arabs. And in the movies and music videos egyptians are always white. So what is Pharah?
    And is Mei really chinese? I thought she was an Eskimo.

    Aside from the Chinese name, she also speaks it.

    And as someone both said Caucasian has different common meanings. Once referring to the Caucasoid race and one just meaning white europeans

    Reaper is Mexican, You can tell by his Orgins edition skin.

    He also has Mariachi themed legendary skins.

    As for his arms, in the reveal trailer for Overwatch, his arms are actually skin tone white, leading me to believe that maybe originally he was planned to just be White, like Solider. In the Hero gallery its more like T-Shirt white, like Reaper is wearing some kind of undergarment.

    I made a post on the official forms about it trying to see if anyone had any insight but it never took off.

    It might have something to do with the method used to revive him.

    Hispanic isn't a race. It's geographical origin. You can be black, white or Asian Hispanic. US census reflects that (and since Reaper is from US, it makes sense to use their nomenclature). Most Hispanics are Caucasian. So are Egyptians.

    On the Overwatch trailer it certainly looks like is white and those are bits of skin inbetween his armour but ingame it looks more like cloth, maybe they hadnt decided Reaper was black when they did the announcement trailer and changed their minds after. Or the experiments changed him like they did Widow, he is actually white like a ghost rather than caucasian.

    historically, egyptians aren't black, but they aren't white either. they were something different from other races we have to today. they may have been something between caucazoid and congoid.

    pharah is a modern day egyptian, which is basically arab.

    Well, when the creators of the game says she is, she very likely is, dont'cha think? And just because Hollywood/producers cast -gasp- white people in roles of Egyptian characters doesn't all of a sudden mean that the entire nation is white, no?

    i doubt Symmetra in Hindu. She may have obsorbed her culture and philosophies but she comes off as an atheist who puts order and tech above all else.

    Asian: 7
    American: 4
    Australian: 2
    African: 1
    Moonape: 1
    Unknown: 1

    Lúcio Correia dos Santos grew up in Rio de Janeiro, in a poor and crowded favela that was hit hard by the financial upheaval following the Omnic Crisis. As Brazil began the long process of recovery, he wanted to find a way to lift the spirits of those around him. He found his answer in music and its power to bring people together and even help them forget their troubles, if only for a short time. He performed on street corners, in block parties, and as he got older, at a string of legendary underground shows.
