Frankly, I like that Jacqui is a definitively African-American Woman. If I'm not mistaken, she's technically the first in the series.

Wrong. We don't know shit about Jade's or Tanya's parents, so u can't say if they're mixed race or not.

I always took it that Edenians were a mixture of tons of different fictional races some of which resembled ours.
Also Earthrealm in MK could have culturally diffused with Edenia and Outworld in the past. I know they finally made that a thing with Kotal Kahn's backstory. It would explain a hell of a lot, like the similar languages, some similar customs/designs to Asian traditions (I know that's mainly because the series is a riff on Kung Fu movies but I mean story wise).

No need to be racist as all fuck. Honestly I think both black girls and white girls can be attractive.

Yeah but who cares what other people think when it comes to women? Most guys have preferences sure but very rarely will they turn a woman down because of race if we're going to be completely honest.
I generally prefer dark skinned women but Jacqi's x-ray and the fact that she's Jax's daughter are what are influencing me to like her as a character, not her appearance. She's not even real.
Jacqi's race really doesn't have that much to do with it. She's related to less kombatants than Cassie and Takeda/Kung Jin are talked about a bit more because they were name dropped on casting sheets, one's in a comic, and they got a bit more showcased in the trailer.

You're reading into my post way too friggin' literally.
My point was that fans have heavily debated which "Earth-based" race Jade is supposed to represent visually, and the results of the arguements are inconclusive.
As far as the canon is concerned... they're Edenian. Thus endeth any discussion of their race.
Whether that equates to "Black" "White" "Middle-Eastern" or "Mixed-Race" to our eyes as fans, is entirely subjective, is my point. I KNOW damn well, we don't know anything about their parents. Duh. That... wasn't really what I was getting at. Of course we don't know if their parents had two different skintones, but my point was THEIR skintones, are deliberately ambiguous.
Jacqui is the first Mortal Kombat female we can definitively call Black and/or African-American. And I like that about her. That was my point. Way to completely miss it.
@TigerStyle Yeah but u can just make Jacqui's mum an Olympian like she is a Junior Olympian.
@Gillbob316 Stop bringing Jade and Tanya to this conversation. They're not from Earth, they're from Edenia so I don't give a flying fuck if they have a dick, let alone what they're race is.

If they did have dicks, would you say they'd be more popular if they didn't have them?

Lmao wow forgot all about that. *Facepalm*
Anyway I don't think that would make her more popular, she more exposure she gets the more popular she will get.

You don't know who Jacqui's mother is, so Jacqui can very well be mixed as well.

She's certainly mixed when it comes to reception, Christ. There are people who hate on her and call her ugly and shit for no reason and not even consider things like gameplay.

If she wasn't a normal human who NRS took more than 5 seconds to name she'd be more popular

So if she was bi racial and not fully black she would be more popular? And its funny cause lot of people on fb been saying bi racial are much better *shrugs*

Maybe if she was a ninja and had magic powers she'd fare better. That shit still sells like hotcakes.

Boon is not going to give a shit about people's opinion on a character's race.
He's not gonna suddenly start going out of his way to make sure people know there are mixed race characters when most of the people from Earthrealm are probably pretty mixed anyway like a lot of people in real life.
