Animal Crossing: New Leaf Still Racist, Even After Update
On November 2nd, Animal Crossing: New Leaf released a major downloadable update, freshening up the popular slice-of-life sim four years after its initial release. As the subtitle suggests, the Welcome Amiibo update means New Leaf now supports amiibo cards and figures. This brings in a swarm of new features along with it including furniture from previous game Happy Home Designer, 50 previously discontinued villagers, an entirely new RV campsite area, and a whole lot more. One thing it didn't touch? Racial diversity. Despite darker skin tones already being optional in Happy Home Designer, New Leaf's human residents only come in one flavor: creamy, homogeneous vanilla.
