Why did they change Sub-Zero ethnicity in MK3? Sub-Zero has gone from Asian, Caucasian, Cryomancer, now an Ice God. Why couldn't they have kept his storyline simple and stop changing his ethnicity?
Here is Sub-Zero unmasked in his MK2 ending for those who don't want to believe that Sub-Zero was Asian:

Because aside from that picture in his MK2 ending, Sub-Zero was always played by either Daniel Pesina or John Turk...neither of which are Asian.
So they explained in Mythologies that his mother was American.
That ending pic is stupid anyway. I mean come on...look at that and look at this:

CLEARLY not the same guy.

I heard about MKM talking about his mother being American. His mother is American, which means she could have been Asian American. American does not mean white. Actually his MK2 ending pics looks better than his bio pic you posted. His ending has Scorpion and the flame skull. All Sub is doing in his bio is crossing his arms. What is so cool about that?

What? I didn't post the picture because it was cool or not...I posted it because you can clearly see it's two different actors playing Sub-Zero.

Sorry but that is not me. I wasn't even on MKO last year. You won't bother responding anymore because you tried to put up an argument but lost.

Yes, but they made an effort to make Sub look asian on his ending. Why even go through the trouble? Sub in MKSM has asian eyes if you look close.

Sub-Zero is partially Asian. It's kind of strange with his ethnicity. I'm glad that at least an explanation was given to his more caucasian look.

True that! Actually I perfer his Shredder armor the best from MKD. By the way Sub-Zero is mixed with Asian and White.

Lui Kang and Kung Lao aren't caucasion, they're asian.
BTW, I'm fine with Subby turning into an Ice God.It makes perfect sense to me, I mean...he's the master of ummm ICE lol.

That was just a joke man. I just hope Sub keeps his armor.

this is another example of the MK logical paradoxes.
another is reptile. in MK1-mk4, reptiles face was more humanlike in shape.
Then im MKDA, his face became a giant iguana head, which couldnt have possibly fitted inside a human ninja mask for disguise. its clearly not even the same shape. So apparently, reptile changes his head structure just as subzero changes his race.
human smoke also changed, he went from flesh and blood to a hollowed out ninja with smoke inside his clear skin skeletonless structure. another weird paradox. compare human smoke from UMK3 and MKD

Reptile devolved. This was explained in MK:DA.
Smoke isn't human anymore. The "smoke" that makes up his body now is actually millions of nanobots. This was explained in Deception.

Given that the user has been banned, no need to keep this discussion open. And for the record...
Sub-Zero is Chinese, but has Caucasian blood in him, so whatever the white represents, he has it, but since Americans have so much European blood in them without knowing the origins, we'll never be able to say specifically what Sub-Zero is and are limited to Chinese-American.
Scorpion was Japanese, but keep in mind that now his origins mean dick, as he's not even human anymore; and just because his mask makes him look white means nothing, becasue that skin is a part of his mask.
Stryker's name is Danish in origin.
