Equestria is a utopia where the ponies live in peace and harmony with themselves and the environment.

Why would you expect blacks in it?

790 LOL

795 Which character? Could be more than one if you want. For the least convincing reasons possible: Twilight, cuz it's a given. Rarity, cuz white on black skin is the sex. Fluttershy, because it totally works. In all reality any of them could be translated into any race, and should be instead of making them into proto-Disney characters.

Zebras are white with black stripes. Except for Zecora and Marty. They're black with white stripes.

>someone draws ethnic human ponies
>RACIST!
>someone draws white human ponies
>RACIST!

god damn people, really? do you have do do this on EVERY human pony image?

this picture has wonderful diversity. They all have varied heights, body types, facial structure, and skintone. they're a realistically eclectic group of girls, just like a group of friends might be in real life. Just because the artist didn't make one of them black doesn't mean it's racist, for fucks sake...

There are no black people in this picture, it MUST be racist.

But seriously, you and your self-righteousness can go fuck yourselves. Implying that there NEEDS to be people of varying races depicted in any group image in order for it to be "correct" is ridiculous. There is literally no equivalent to human skin-color races among ponies, so that type of argument is irrelevant, and depicting humanized characters as different races is a matter of the artist's headcanon, not yours.

Clearly, the only way to draw humanized ponies without being racist is to give everyone plaid and/or paisley skin.

Also, it bothers me in some level that people insist that Twilight must be black. It's certainly not the idea that she's black; I guess I don't understand why some black women feel compelled to go through the effort of straightening their hair when there's honestly nothing wrong with it in the first place. :/

The show shows us there are many ways to be a girl. Taking that a step further, there are simply many ways to be. You are who you are; you are the only person you can be!

Also, what Van_Horsing said.

I really wish people would stop throwing the word 'racism' around in an attempt to gain absolute moral superiority.

If you don't think (for example) that Twilight Sparkle is not attractive as a white person, JUST SAY SO. It's NOT RACIST to say that you prefer the appearance of a certain race over another. It's a matter of personal taste.

If you actually prefer pictures of ethnically diverse groups of people, then go here:

But don't use the pretense of moral superiority in order to impose your personal taste on others.

How about to solve this problem we designate each pony type a race. Pegasus=white Unicorn=black and earth pony=asian/hispanic/native american

Yeah... same thing.

Your heart's in the right place though. Lauren Faust just coming out and telling us what race each pony would be would shut all of these assholes up.

Ponies are ponies, so a human depiction of them can be of any race.

Anyways, I don't think Fluttershy would wear such a short skirt and I think that Applejack would wear more sensible pants, but other then that I like this interpretation. I especially like Pinkie Pie.
