Yes, that is weird. Seems to happen a lot.

That is NOT true in the USA, with way more cars being stolen by white people.

"The highest number of those arrested were identified as White (36.60K), followed by Black or African American (11.17K), and American Indian or Alaska Native (1.02K)."

I don't know whether it is in Australia since I couldn't find that kind of break down of offences by ethnicity (it's more about whose vehicles get stolen and how to try and prevent it) but I don't think so.

Is there a difference between light skin blacks and white skin blacks? Not antagonizing. Would just love to know the difference.

Most light skins have a mixture with other races. The others bleaches skin.

And for some games, they might present those characters in light skin but allow them to be customized to white skin.

Colonisation happens in the Bible though. Like the Romans in Judea.
