Please, there are two other perfectly fine black male characters that can be in- Cyrax & Kai.
Jax is not necessary for diversity. He needs to go away forever.

Cyrax is a cyborg. Kai is Hispanic.

Kai is black, Ed Boon stated it in his Armageddon trading card video. And Hispanic is technically not a race. Neither is Cyborg.
@Mobster, He has great designs, I admit, but he is absolutely boring.

Regardless of Cyrax being a cyborg....he's STILL black!

Then why's it an ethnicity opinion on government forms?

Because it practically is. I consider it to be a race, but there's a ton of people out there who will argue you down that it's not. There's actually on going debates about rather or not it should be listed as an option on census records.

Cyrax looks Jamaican or something.
Kai might be black but he has white stripes on his skin.
Jax is the only one pure African-American character. And mark my words, he'll be back just to prove NRS is not a racist company. It's the only reason they keep bringing him back. He's useless.
Time for a new black hero IMO.

How would having no black people mean they're racist? They have Jade who is dark skinned, they have Chinese fighters, even the "white" fighters have other ethnicities in them. They don't need to add a black character, but the way you're putting it is racist. Just think about what you're talking about. I'm Palestinian and i'm not upset if they don't add an Arab to the game. So why the fuck would you bring Jax's race into play? Because he's black? Are black people the only people that can feel racism? Should black people be added to everything to you? And if they don't they're racist, and if they do it's only because they need them? Fuck your topic, dude.

Cyrax is Carribean and Kai is African.
I could be wrong, but people do tend to refer those as black.

Yes, MKX needs a black female. Never seen one in MK.
Jade is hispanic, right?

But she's darker than Kitana, Mileena, and Sindel.
So, there are different human races in Edenia.

Look, let's not start this Jade shit again.
The only IMPORTANT part of that argument is that her skin is SUPPOSED to be DARK brown colored.
Some MK9 renders (and her UMK3 alt costume) fucked it up, but she looked right in actual gameplay.

How can there be human races when they're not human?

Cyrax is Motswana (i.e. from Botswana.)
Kai is African American (unless (if he's coming back) they retcon it.) I think in the whole MK4 lore, Liu Kang recruited Kai in America.

Cyrax's homeland is given in MK9 as Botswana, which is in Africa.
And Kai's never been given a canon one but an MK4 strategy guide said Detroit, making him African-American.
