I don't care if RWBY has it's influences in anime, it's still an American show, and its creators are in Texas, no less. The fact there's not even one dark-skinned person sans the mysterious teal-haired woman (no, I don't really count Sun Wukong) is highly disappointing. I wouldn't say it has anything to do with the country or geography the characters are in because their fashion and names are vastly different - you can't say they belong to a country where everyone's race is "all hair colors, all types of names and fashion, yet everyone is white". I completely agree. The lack of dark-skinned people (I would call them native americans but it's not america so....) and asian people is quite racist. Especially since even all the white people are incredibly pale skinned.
