This is an odd topic, so i'll respond with an equally odd "why are you just ogling the females?" surely there are some other men-lovers in the audience.

As for the whole 'asian' thing, there hav been many asian 'themed' characters without being too specific. i think that was the original intention.

We have:

Kitana: white
Mileena: white, I guess
Jade: Who the heck knows
Tanya: black
Sindel: white
Kira: white
Sareena: white
Sonya: white as the driven snow
Skarlet: white
Sheeva: Uhhh... ? Not asian whatever she is.
Frost: white
Nitara: white
Ashrah: white
Li Mei: possibly asian, given that name, though she doesn't look it.

I think MK needs a real asian female. I wish they would have made Jade more noticeably asian, as that would both accomplish the goal and clear up the ambiguity of her race once and for all, but I'd settle for a new DLC character.

Um are you serious?

Kitana is edenian
Mileena is tarkatan/edenian
Jade is edenian
Tanya is edenian
Sindel is edenian
Sareena is from the netherealm
Skarlet is from outworld
Sheeva is from outworld/shokan
Nitara is from Outworld
Ashrah is from the netherealm

I hope everyone who's been replying in this thread realizes that this was a thread that was made one month after the game's release, and that the OP barely comes on this site anymore...

Im not sure, but wasnt Jade played by an Asian(capital a to show respect) in MKA the movie? Kahn was played by a British dude, correct?

I think that that is diversity.

I just thought that this was an interesting topic, so I brought it back up.

Yes. She was played by Irina Pantaeva, a Buryat actress. Buryats are considered to be North Asian, which is definitely a change from the typical East Asian from countries like China, Japan, and Korea.
