@JWChibi ur comment reminds me of a r/facepalm post where some tumblr user accused an artist for whitewashing after the artist recommended people to draw black people's palms in a lighter tone and then the tumblr user was spammed with stock images of black people's hands.
I'm glad that they don't look like caricatures and that it was acknowledged that Leslie had a kneejerk fear of their darker skin until she realized there was no reason to be afraid. Tepentel is cute as hell.
