I propose that Monochrome Casting gets left as it is (i.e. no remarks about "white" as is being taken in a racial way rather than a has-no-color way), or removed. These polarizing edits some folks are insisting on making are bordering on becoming disruptive, from what I see. No human being in real life is the color of a white sheet of computer paper (or as colorless as a computer monitor can possibly display) unless dead and drained of all blood, and not even then. "White people" the race are not -actually white-, hate to break it to folks. So, how else would an author denote a "blank" individual whose race is unknown and up to the reader? Should all the characters be blazing blue?

If people have a problem with this, I think they should take it up with Hussie, not try to start trouble by editing in opinions on the tropes' page.

This is just my two cents.

Considering that this is the author's intent in the first place, I agree.

Donate money to Skullgirls, get a sweet poster.
