On rare occasions, if something catches my attention I may rent a game or movie, and rarer go to the movies. If I like what I see or play, I buy it. But mainly I rewatch and replay the same games, movies and tv series on dvd. I repeat this process to find glitches flaws and any other quercks. And this has boggled be for the duration of MK. Jade in UMK3 and MKT she appeared to be black, in the film annihilation, she appeared chinese, but in MKD and MKA we learned that she is from Edenia. she appeared white with a tan or possibly either type of Indian (for clarification native american or from India) but since she is from Edenia and not from earth kinda rules out the last one. I'm saying their could be multiple races on Edenia. In outworld Lei Mei appeared chinese, then you have the tarkata and the shokan.NOT that it makes any difference, and it's just a game. but she is the only character that has changed except reptile (I forgot). But the big question why started this tread "What race is she officially?" Like I stated before, Idon't care what race she is I just want clarification. just a thing that made me say hmmmm?

P.S. You might want to check out my thread on the intro diss under the subject Line hello my fellow mkgamers. I might be of some help to some one I've replied to myself to add more info. I'm not looking for hits or whatever, just to help.smile

Well, for starters, the movies are bullshit. So don't even think about them.

Now as for Jade, since she is not of Earth, her "official" race is a darker skinned Edenian. Now if she were from Earth, would she be considered black, white, or some other race?

Personally, I think she looks Hispanic. I never really thought she looked black. In the old games, she just looked really tanned....even orange at times. Now with the newer games, yeah, I would say she looks Hispanic.

I corrected myself plasmor. And thank you King_Raiden!!wow
Her appearing with a darker skintone was more than likely just to differentiate her from the other 2 female pallette swaps.

While not "black" by Earth's racial mindset, she certainly could've passed as "black" irl.

For Deception, I got the impression she was an Amazon. Which kinda fits, as the bulk of the Edenian characters are women folk.

It's kinda hard to determine a character's physical features when they've been played by 2 different people, then a CG model. Still, she is simply a dark skinned Edenian.

Yea, I agree with the ladies. Jade is either Middle Eastern or Indian, by our standards.

The Three Edenian Chick Chart

Kitana - White.
Jade - Hispanic and/or Egyptian.
Mileena - White or Arabic.

That is my hypothesis.

How can Mileena be Arabic if she's a clone of Kitana? Unless Tarkatans are Arabic, that doesn't make much sense.

There are white and black humans. Why wouldn't there be white and black edenians ?

Mileena is Kitana with Tarkatan blood. If you were cloned, would your clone be different race ?

If you're Hispanic/Arabian/whatever, it means you're from Earth. None of them are from Earth.

Mileena's outworldian, Kitana and Jade are Edenian.

I've always thought of Jade as the "dark-skinned ninja girl who could possibly be black. " It's really tough to try to determine because she is a pallet swap.

But i never determined positively that's what "race" she was. Never seemed that important.
