Who do you play as?? (Race and Gender wise)

I am an elderly Japanese/English female and make only male sims with the exception of making three versions of my SS (YA, Adult and Elder) although my favourite is the elder version who is often added to the active household as live-in nanny. My sims are predominantly white because my eyesight is failing and I want to be able to see my sims' facial expressions. Although my males live as married couples and have children I don't see them as gay. For me it's a means to an end because I don't want to play female sims but want to play generational saves and love raising sims from birth to grave.
