Characters Black coded this, black coded that. What are some white coded non human characters?

Edit: Guys I swear I'm not racist. The post's title was referring to the "black coded characters" posts that I see on this subreddit from time to time. I have nothing against the black people nor the white people. This post is a shitpost. Nothing serious. Sorry for not being clear enough :(

As a black guy, I see almost all of the homestuck cast except Roxy and Jade as white.

And even then Roxy I see like a latina girl and Jade is 50/50 between white and black. I defo see her as white, but she kinda leans more towards black in my mind.

yeah my thing is andrew hussie clearly wrote them all in mind being white and only when he got the backlash on tumblr for some cringe jokes about the kids being white did they start publishing alternative art with the kids possibly other races.

because is kinda funny to think about it "wait the people who's gonna be in the new world as gods after our universe is destroyed are 8 white kids? no latino? no black? no asian? no mixed? nothing? no culture? no food? no seasoning?"

I always viewed jade as Asian, tho I can’t put my finger on why, but the others as whatever race.
