The correct term for dark skinned british citizens in the 90s was cosidered to be "British Black" and it is still used today.

I'm white myself, but I've always felt a little uneasy that despite the black singers setting a lot of singing standards white singers get more fame usually. This is why I have no quims with viewing Leon and Lola, both soul singers, as black vocalist. :-/

Also skin colour doesn't play any role in Voclaoids sound results. When you consider most Vocaloids have pale skin already and are voiced by Japanese providers, whose skin tone can vary quite a bit in some cases... In due respects, this is fine. Lola's black haired white girl avatar Crossfrown came up with a lot of people use? I have found this one particular odd as Lola's always been described as "Brittish Raggae" and has that raspy-harsh African vocal that a lot of black singers have. While Leon had that smoothe RnB vocal that even white singers can do. In fact only twice have I ever heard Leon singing where he sounded like a stereotypical black singer.

And in due respects, a white singer and black singer could produce a Vocaloid; but you wouldn't be able to nessecary tell who voiced which Vocaloid. You get those odd vocals who don't comply with the sxpectations... Elvis Presley himself was accused of having African descent in him because of his vocal. :-/
