It is a good point.
They could just make all the characters green...then we dont have to worry about race.
Oh and im black and as long as people dont use any term related to my ethnicity as a derogatory remark im fine. I AM Black, I AM an African American. Its not that big of a deal.
But i personally gave a thought to a black female character as i am a male so i couldn't care less
Most if not all of the avatars are from a 3D program I use called DAZ Studio. I figured it out cause the models look like the avatars lol.
DAZ isn't really big on black characters but they do have some. Guess Evony just hasn't updated in...forever.
I think the bolded part is the key. It all depends on what way you say it and what context it's in. Like you said, it only becomes an issue when someone uses the word in a derogatory way.
In relation to the OP, I'm in support of varying images to represent a wide range of ethnicities. In fact, the idea to add more in-game avatar options is under construction over at evony.feedback.com.

Evony is supposed to take place around medieval Europe. During that time, Europe was predominately populated by whites.
While, despite that, they still have non-white avatars and no apparent gender inequality, I'm guessing they made a few exceptions but didn't cover every contingency.
Think what if a black pic was attacked by a white one, or the other way around. I think that there would be a lot of spam reports saying this guy is racist.
