Thanks for the answer.
Please, don't see this as offending, because that's not what I mean.

something like that. al I know is that she is gorgeous so I don't question it.
Read this about creating Clementine www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2012/12/26/creating-clementine.aspx
These threads never end well so it will probably be locked soon.
Her mom does look slightly mixed, though.
I personally think that she's (mostly) white.
But yeah, it's come up about million times as far as I can see. I personally think she's mixed.
Clem was based off Derek Sakai's daughter, so she was actually given asian features.
As people have speculated, Derek Sakai (our art director) is Asian. He may have been looking at his daughter for inspiration. So, if Clementine has some Asian features, that is a possible reason. But neither of her parents are 100% asian (we've seen both of them), so at best, if we're retconning in some asian lineage, it would at most make her a quarter asian.
But to my knowledge, that has not ever been officially retconned in. Not sure why it matters so much. Clementine is Clementine.
We typically do special gestures for moments that the writers call out that I know our general gestures don't cover. So you have the writers to thank as much as me, for writing in those gestures.
Actually, this source (take out spaces) claims that American blacks are 17-18% European on average. It's actually higher than I thought. So, African-Americans are pretty much all mixed. The source is listed at the bottom of the page. I just thought I'd give a source before someone asks for one. You can just Google it if you're interested. It is an interesting topic. The Americas, the Caribbean are all melting-pots.
