    He means African Canadian, and Canadian is a subtype of ethnicity

    Unless they are native I guess. But then maybe say "Native American" (in this case, American referring to the continent, not country)

    Is Jake Asian? I was never sure. I thought he might be Latino. They could use a Native American survivor.

    Because some people like lore based stuff

    I feel pretty confident in saying that is not the answer, you stretching if you think that is true

    I think they meant "Why would the color of their skin matter?"

    Definitely Asian American. Not only the last name and backstory (The backstory doesn't specifically say, but it hints), he's also modeled after Alex Lin from BHVR.

    Ace was raised in Argentina, but he's also Italian, so at the very least Agentine-Italian. Some of these are indeed a confusion between ethnicity and nationality.

    To have a complete set of horror movie archetypes (because I believe DBD is tied up to that genre), we'll probably need a slavic fellow some day. That being said, I'd like to have more different characters with pros and cons, which might fit into the genre, such as the "Child" survivor which might run slightly slower, but could fit in tighter spaces (extra closets/lockers ?).
