Jason has appended a list of reader-submitted blacks to his original article. The Rock's character in The Scorpion King made it, but Vin Diesel's character in The Chronicles of Riddick did not, finally settling the debate over which actor deserves more credit for making it in the other one's world. Meanwhile, an influx of readers from Internet Historical Site wired.com have flooded the comments section with their typically thoughtful criticism:

While I thought the article was generally rather silly, the picture offered as ‘OMG, black!’ is even sillier. I haven’t played ‘Beyond Good and Evil’, I imagine most people saying ‘OMG! Notblack!’ haven’t either. That was my first inclination as well, looking at the box art offered. However, it becomes pretty obvious from looking at an in-game screenshot thanks to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Beyond_Good_and_Evil_-_Jade_-_05.jpg
Rather high chance for either African or Middle-eastern descent, anything else is unlikely from facial structure, et cetera.


According to this screenshot of a letterboxed game running on a widescreen television, Jade's unusually broad nose clearly indicates African descent.
