Okay, so if the author gives them light skin, it'll be 'not inclusive enough'.

Asian features? 'Racist'.

Dark skin? As the people writing this said, it's apperently also 'racist'.

So now what? Give them blue skin?

Shannon wasn't writing this series to prove how inclusive or thoughtful she was; she wrote it because she wanted to.

One star KOTLC reviewers = nitpickers. Oh and I know this was a long time ago, but I just noticed this comment and I want to respond.

The fact that black people were oppressed, segregrated, dehumanized and forced int slavery is a huge part of our history, and a reason why treating the dark skinned creatures as slaves is not the best way to go. And actually, blue skin would be a good idea.

And you said, "Shannon wasn't writing this series to prove how inclusive or thoughtful she was; she wrote it because she wanted to. "

Again, inclusion is not a choice, it is a given. With no valid reason to not include other races or sexualities or anything, it should happen in this series.
