I don't think there's any Vocaloid with an official race. People tend to make assumptions based on their design, how they sound, and the language they sing in. People hold stereotypes about voice too, which is why there's lots of talk about sounding "white". But that still doesn't mean you can deduce a person's race just by hearing them and not looking at them.

I regret saying that PFX intentionally whitewashed Ruby. I didn't have all the facts at the time. It looks like to me that it really was just an accident.
