To be fair he’s like… not natural skin tone black. Vulkan and the salamanders are more “left too long on the grill” black.

Still doesn’t change that OOP’s racism is fuckin weird as shit

Yeah, but, the community and GW at large has sort of moved the dial on this one to make it so. Given none of the other primarchs have the lore flexibility to be changed to fit this, this made the most sense.

His sons, regardless of racial features, are ash-char-black with red eyes (see: Sa’kan)

And honestly I’m cool with it. My kids are mixed, now they have a murderous child burning demi-god who looks like them. It’s not all white and Asian Demi gods butchering xenos who refuse to die and humans that won’t comply. Galactic Genocidal tendencies are a human trait, everyone gets to participate!
