Is the origin of his name Afrikaner, Australian maybe? Does he descend from Oceania? I don't want to troll jang since he's a nice dude, but his name is pretty exotic for a white guy

He is half black half white, he says so in one of his videos. Where did his real name come up?

Does Jang have the most comfy voice on /toy/ YouTube? I feel so zen throwing his videos on in the background while I build or pose.

He always uses cherry picked pictures of himself where he can pass as white. But usually it's obvious he is a negro

Oh absolutely. Honestly the guy's voice is just perfect. He's just so relaxing to listen to and I can tell he's being completely genuine when he talks about legos.

The only time Lego definitely depicted non-white ethnicities before Lando were the Indians from the Wild West and Ninja lines. With Ninjas you can argue that the yellow skin is a whole other can of worms; but native americans generally have darker skin but were the same yellow as any other minifig. Their ethnic features came from having prominent noses.

Look up some of the NBA sets from 2002 or 2003, I don't mean the ones based on real players, but the ones you got in the playsets. There are couple of really obvious afroamerican faces.
Personally I think those were great.

You’re right, that slipped my mind. I think doing facial features on yellow skin, like they did with those and the Indians, works out nicely, though it’s a tricky borderline to pull off.

It's actually a bit if a debate in the lego fandom. See lego claims that yellow is a default "neutral" colour and doesn't equate to white, yet at the same time, whenever they make a figure of a distinctive "black" character they make a brown flesh tone not the yellow.

I can sort of see both sides of the argument desu.

The whole Lando thing was a big issue for a long time in the community. For years before we actually got one people debated whether or not they should give him dark skin. Traditionally, Star wars MOCers were just doing yellow Landos.

Don't they only have black characters in the same lines where all the minifigs are flesh colored (ie licensed properties like Star Wars)? AFAIK in the normal in-house system lines (City, Ninjago, etc.) everyone is yellow.

The NBA fleshies were released after Lando.

Correct. The Lego Movie is the exception because fleshies and yellowfigs coexist in that setting, but Lego moved away from having both yellow and "realistic" colors shortly after Lando.

Weird that it wasn't 2003 until this became an issue. Lego can't claim that lego is "neutral" while making Han Solo yellow but not Lando.

I didn't like to use the indians because they had noses. It was so strange. They'd be great without noses.

Kind of interested in seeing how he made the leap from plant biology to software engineering.
