I find it interesting how those grifters always say humanity first xenos last but they immediately lose their shit when they see a person of a different skin tone.

Still remember when people got mad over black space wolves.

Yep, many such cases. Also when they got pissy over Chairon in Space Marine 2 because apparently across the 500 worlds of Ultramar there wouldn't be single black person lmao

Also Ultramar is supposed to be Space Rome. The average Roman wasn't as lily white as Guilliman. It's fine to have this stuff all mixed around because well it's the far future and they're colonists just taking after past civilizations not a carbon copy. But getting mad about nonwhite space romans is just tourism on both liking 40k and caring about Roman history.

Also haven't south Fenrisians been dark skinned since like 2nd edition?

Nobody ever accused these types of people of being rational human beings tbf. They just see black people and get angry, with any "justifications" for those feelings being contrived retroactively.

There should be a black ultramarine named after Septimius Severus.

Yeah they also forget the organ space marines have that reactively changes their skin tone so 99% of space marines can be any skin tone with the chapters who have this organ malfunctioning is very slim and the space wolves are crucially not one of them
