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

I'm a white male, but I tend to create all races pretty much equally...I just think it makes the game more interesting to have variety. My latest Sims are a young black couple. The wife is an aspiring artist, and she's doing quite well. I still haven't decided on the husband's vocation. I gave him all of the right traits to become financially successful, I just have to figure out which career to place him in
