You'll certainly find Chinese men in China learning Spanish using Duolingo ahead of a trip to Mexico. Should they only look at traditional depictions of Spanish speaking people while they learn? Or should they, the user of the app, occasionally see someone who they may personally associate with, speaking the language they are currently trying to learn. The learner could literally be a Chinese man wanting to speak Spanish in Mexico. People of all skin colors and backgrounds regularly learn new languages, and the characters attempt to reflect that.
That's the theory. I'm not sure I get the anger expressed up-thread.
