Alright you have a point.

Then again, why are we arguing about skin color?

Rin has blonde hair and her voice provider doesn't. Gakupo has blue eyes and his voice provider doesn't. These designs are racist because Japanese people don't have these qualities.

If you think about it, this is exactly how this argument sounds (no, I don't think that's actually racist). I really don't think many Vocaloid represent their vps very well so why is skin color a big deal? It's just what people want to draw. I don't draw black people much, purely because I draw in pencil and it would a) waste lead b) smudge everywhere c) be hard to drawl facial features.
