Another shit arguemnt technique - ad hominem. You suggesting that unless you're succesful and professional you can't possibly have any valid input? Why come to the suggestions forum at all? Why bother giving your own dumb opinion in the first place?

You don't have to have a degree to observe that winking at obnoxious racist jokes on your message board is unprofessional behaviour. Or to notice that every game gives you a choice of skin tone and work out one of the many reasons why that pleases players.

Not half as much as you obnoxious gamer geeks need a good checking of your privilige.

I am curious; what "privilege" is it that needs checking?

As a general rule, I agree that more character customization is better, almost no matter what. As the for specific question of skin tone, it is still true that the game is supposed to be set in Europe and that the only black/brown people in Europe before the age of easy migrations were imported slaves or, more rarely, foreign dignitaries, so it would fit the theme about as well as would blood elves. But more importantly, the obvious implication that black skin should be added for the sake of political correctness and egalitarianism is what makes my stomach turn at the thought of it. If it weren't for that, I'd almost have considered it.

I think I was confused by the part where it says, "fictional world loosely inspired by..."
