But I thought Lee was white?
What made you think this? It was not described in any of the books
before the movies went out what the skin colour of any of the
characters was. This of course does not automatically mean that these
people are white (or rather caucasian shade of pink), but many people
create the mental image of "whiteness" if nothing else is mentioned
and a persons name does not suggest anything else (as is the case with
Cho Chang or the Patils for example).
It is notable that after the movies got out, OotP included some
appearance details on some of the characters, most notably some skin
color issues. Also some people have told that the U.S. edition of the
books has all the time been describing some of the people as
non-caucasian, but I'm not sure if this is true.
One further thing to notice that I usually read the finnish versions
where these things are not mentioned to my knowledge, but I can't
remember anything from the original ones that suggests any
differently. Of course I could be totally wrong on the issue - would
definetly be not the best idea.
sorry i'm not being P.C....
Personal Computer? :)
