So, WotC debuted the new Harkon Lukas and there were the predictable, heart-rending cries of "You ruined my childhood by making him black!" Here's my problem: A manipulative, black minstrel who dresses like a pimp??? And is literally a monster inside? I'm not sure if this is just incredibly stereotyped, or actually racist.

They are probably trying to make the range more diverse, to appeal to a wider customer base.
