Im asking nicely. Was it clearly stated that Monet's father is black. Just asking cos the artist may have mistakenly drew the father or the colorist made a mistake or the father just have a darker skin but not black.
Just like in the Philippines, there are filipinos who have white skin, others have fair complexion, others have different shades of brown. There are also dark skinned filipinos. But of course, if the colorist will use brown to color a character, people would think the character is black, unless clearly stated that the character is a Filipino
Her having a lighter complexion isn't an issue. It's when they outright white-wash her that people find annoying or angering. She could be black or mixed-black. Whichever people wanna use.
But in some instances, she's neither. Such as here.

She's Caucasian here, and quite different from how she started out.
It depends what genetics they got more of.
Tia & Tamera Mowry are mixed. Black Mother, White father. Tia identifies as black and that's accepted generally. But looking at them, they appear to have gotten more of the genetics from the black side of their family.
On the flip side, plenty of mix black white people look more white, and that's what they'll be classified as. A girl I am acquainted with has this issue. She's mixed, but looks like a Caucasian woman. She's very interested in her black African heritage, and tries identifying as black. But due to how she looks, she says many don't usually take her seriously when she identifies as black. They see her as Caucasian.
Ronda Rousey has a black grandfather, or great grandfather. I forget which.

Everyone who knows her, for the most part, considers her Caucasian.
That's the One-drop rule. Damn near everyone has other races in their lineage, and it can get confusing labeling yourself with every last thing in your lineage.
And the twins are Monet's family aren't they? I was talking about them. Should've worded it better. That's my fault. But I was saying we see them with Synch, another black character, and they all seem to go together is my point. Looking at them, they look like a black family. It's not a case of Synch being there & the twins are drastically different. They don't look non-black. Can be black, or mixed black if people see them that way.

What a sad state of events. Monet really deserves better than this mess. I pray she gets the respect and recognition she so rightfully earned.
I hate that this topic comes up every couple of months. People need to stop whitewashing her and trying to add color. She has never been clearly defined yet. She is of mixed races just leave it at that.
I always viewed M as being somewhere in the middle color wise, not white but not terribly dark either, a mix...which is fine, it just ends up with some of those that do the coloring in the comics don't keep her skin color consistent and that causes trouble...
