>>3901858>brown/black would be considered offensiveBut wouldn't being Asian also be considered impure by purebloods, if we're being realistic and making them racist too? Especially given that this was the 90s, when the Western mainstream was less used to Asian stuff that wasn't goofy kung fu or samurai shit or cyberpunk Tokyo

I'd also say it works with Indians, if you've ever seen really moneyed Indians.
The exception seems to be Southeast Asians, Indigenous Americans, Africans, Siberians, mestizo Americans, and absolutely mixed race folk: it's not that they can't come off royal or elite or even snobby, I've been around rich Southeast Asians, it's just that I don't see them as the kind that are creepy aristocrats in a spooky country manor with strong incest vibes
