Shadowlands will be introducing new customization options, including human races (as opposed to European humans with darker skin) and black blood elves. Is there a lore explanation for the human races? I know that the idea that humans have a variety of skin tones isn't new to the game, but these new updates have brought it to my attention. I have seen no in-game explanation for where they come from or why they exist.
Is this purely a self-insert mechanic for black and asian players? Because this really pisses me off.
Human races can be explained. Dark High Elves can't.

Yes they are, they stood to close to the sun well and got burnt as fuck.

>Is this purely a self-insert mechanic for black and asian players? Bingo. And Chinese players will pick the European one anyway.

There's barely any reasoning. One could surmise that humans in this universe were never conflicted with skin color. Generations of humans born near the equator generally had darker skin.
The best explanation is that Warcraft was initially written as a basic fucking "knights vs orcs" themed strategy game, and over the years of success, the writers had to come up with a lot of relatable marketing shit along the way until something clicks in the tiny minds of you sensitive fucks to finally buy their stupid shit.
