Currently, the Brazilian census has 5 different racial categories. One of them being "black". Another one being "brown" but that seems to be for all intents and purposes, "black" based on colloquial grouping (from what I'm reading. I don't live in Brazil). So, to say someone is "Brazilian" is as helpful in a race conversation as saying someone is "American".
And based on the American usage of the term "Black"...
...Lisa is black. She is. There's no getting around it. Just accept it. Somebody can try to say "But, Hispanic and Lucha Libre and Spanish names and..." Doesn't matter. Being Hispanic doesn't stop you from being black. Lisa's black. Even if she was made slightly lighter (though I would say just less cartoonish looking) than in DOA4. And you know why? Because racial classification was BS from its inception. Completely. It's all just based upon how you kind of look compared to other people. Same with Halle Berry. Same with Beyoncé Knowles. Same with Barack Obama. The list goes on. No one really cares about your actual ethnic makeup when they're referring to your "race". Which is sad, but like I said, it's all BS.

Thank you. Good night, everybody...
I mean, we COULD go into how the differences in black/hispanic/white/asian is not just skin colors, but also including things like facial structure, general height, hair colors, etc, but that would be including logic in a discussion, and we can't have that.
Let's just go with this. Lisa's a mutt.
And for the record, when people say "brazilian", they are generally referring to the well known body type of "hispanic, tan and curvy"
All I can think of when I see that is "little oriental decals aside, that outfit would look better on mila."
Not for the "sexiness" (even though mila has a much better ass than LeiFang), but mostly because that outfit just looks sporty.
Not that i want leifangs classic outfit for mila, nononono, just that i want some pants and a top cropped like that for Mila.
...supposed I should actually finish that blue and white costume sketch, which HAS those design elements...
didnt doa4 clearly display lisa as being "American"? or was i just seeing shit?
Then again, Mila is also listed as from "Spain", and yet is clearly american as all getout. Doesn't even have a spanish accent, which doesn't SOUND like it means anything, but the other europeans do (Christie, Helena).
Same with Hitomi, now that I think about it. The asians get a pass because lord knows they'd never put an asian accent on an asian character in an asian game.
