More ethnic/diverse characters!

Hi! Firstly I love this game and I think supercell are a blessing to humanity. Also I think it's great that Supercell added a new female farm helper, Rose.

However I was wondering if we could get some more diverse/ethnic characters in the game to give some more representation for players of different backgrounds. I know we have some town visitors (teacher and mechanic??) that are not white, which is fantastic for representation of course, but these are only very small characters in the game that we don't come into contact with on a regular basis.

Hay Day is a worldwide success, so I think it would be great to reflect that in the game. Maybe if Supercell plan to introduce a new farm helper in the future they could be more diverse.

Thanks a lot!

I just had a giggle!

I really don't see many "white" farmer's helpers around my neck of the woods. I think Hay Day does everything just right ;)

I find it hard to "label" the existing characters... they could be from anywhere!

I think today many would find the character of Hop Sing a cultural cliche that should not be perpetrated.

Please elaborate on what ethnicities and diversities you would like to see for which characters. Because I am quite sure that if you tried to describe why you would want Tom to be a (blank blank blank) you would end up offending or upsetting more people than leaving him as the little twerking boy he is. And the same goes for other characters in the game.

I surely do not need my daily dose of diversity in a game I play for enjoyment.

What Momscar said........x10.

I'm just casually mentioning for more diverse representation... isn't that a good thing?

Of course we have to be careful of cultural appropriation, but if Supercell is planning on introducing a new character, why would there be a problem with me suggesting that he/she if more diverse?

I'm sorry if I offended anybody, I'm just suggesting this. Not accusing.

A million fold. On both counts. No, just no. It's fine as it is.

I agree with GallifreyFalls. I wouldn't suggest changing any of the existing characters, but if more were to be added, they don't need to be white. There are so many other beautiful colors and ethnicities. I also agree that part of the charm of the game is being able to play with people all over the world, and it would be great to see that reflected in the game characters.

I've only just seen this thread, and I agree that more diverse characters would only be a good thing. It makes me sad to see people pushing back on something that, at worst, would make no difference to their gameplay.

Well, you know, they do have an "old" Asian guy walking around with a cane in the town. (Are you talking about the town area?) But I do know what you mean.

Personally, I'd like to see different characters and different ages in the town. Like a young man and young woman that walks around with a backpack (I'm thinking about college-aged people), or smaller kids playing around (a young child following a butterfly, a little girl jumping rope, etc).

Of course, if there are children in town, there should be a child-related stuff there, too, like a toy store (with a toy maker on the farm), or an ice cream parlor or a Sweet Candy Shoppe (spelled Shoppe, not Shop), which can include ice cream.
