Yeah.. uhm :/ incorporating other cultures is tricky, it has to be done with care & sensitivity, as recent as Snowy Escape EP, wasn't there some controversy over a symbolism? that involved Korean & Japanese cultures? I think if there is a pack specifically set to a certain culture, there should be great care, & most importantly someone on the Sims team from that culture, who is aware & knows what would be great to showcase their culture & also be good for fans too, but maybe it's good that EA doesn't go too deep into cultural themes anyway, it's very easy to upset people, especially if you're not from that culture, I could rock with it if they can pull something like what the creators of Avatar the Last Airbender did, two guys of non-Asian origin who showcased art in such an iconic, respectful & memorable way, then yeah sure.

This is a great point @AvatarBoy

Not only the Sims teams but EA as a whole strive to be a trailblazer and beacon for all forms of acceptance whether it's culturally, ethnically, or sexual orientation related; it's not something that should be taken lightly, and we don't. It can definitely be a fine line for sure to ensure that what we're attempting is a celebration of cultures and not enforcing or adding to a detrimental stereotype. We welcome feedback like this so that we can better know what you enjoy, what you don't and identify areas for improvement.

And yes, strive to be the person Uncle Iroh knows you are.
