I bought mine at a university book store a few years ago. They appear to be Indian (as in South Asian). Yet, all the ones I’ve seen in pictures are white. I didn’t see anywhere on the box what race they were, so how would anyone who had a particular preference get to choose?
My kids are already figuring out that the elves “move” during the night due to my efforts. I’m hoping that this will be the last year they hang out at our house. (I was going to leave them packed away this year, but the kids started asking when they were going to return, so I decided that Pearl Harbor Day was an appropriate day for them to come back.)
The customer wanted a black one, because...racism.
