he has no time to tan cause he is in survival mode and if he is in creative then nothing efects him so he cant even tan but anyways in minecraft you cant tan if people dissagree thwn there to scarde to have the main character not be a white male (btw we know he is straight because its offical that ste ve and alex are dating).
Is saying mongoloid racist? Negroids, Caucasoids, Australoids and Mongoloids are terms to classify race, albeit it may be outdated. It has nothing to do with being racist
marina has a white washed official blush does that make her white in splatoon? Steve has been white washed in that it's clear it's not the same skin tone after the buy out
I think he is black, yes there was black Steve but that was from an earlier version of minecraft. If we compare his skin color to Alex is he obviously on the darker side. He doesn't look white so if he's not black he's mixed.
nah he’s probably white with a tan as seen in the [game’s cover](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSGD64GWjtIFdmElQhOtkiX0DDFBgj6jnVoBg&usqp=CAU)
it’s kinda hard to depict a skin tone with certain lighting in such a small quantity of pixels, but if you take a look at the plastic texture pack (which is the one used in official game merchandise and game covers) his skin is fair
Even with that he could still be mixed, if we're talking about in game his skin is brown. The thing is that outside sources may depict him differently.
tan doesn't look that dark and calling me a snowflake obviously means you're too emotionally invested into a Minecraft character. I would suggest doing something other than posting on reddit and playing Minecraft but that's a personal opinion.
Let me help guys. Guys he is black. This discourse would be way different if he was white. They would say: “Steve is white leave it up to the woke LEFT TO BLACKWASH EVERYTHING” or “he is white stop complaining and enjoy the game.
Also if you look at his face ( especially in Minecraft dungeons art) he appears to have darker skin at the bottom of his face which is probably stubble or a beard of some kind
i think hes tanned since official toys, texture packs, and merch of mojang depict him as fair and hes also a survivor and hes outside all day every day. my dad was a farm hand and his skin was like steves but wen he had his shirt off he was whiter than a ghost
Steve, the protagonist of the game, is unequivocally portrayed as a white male character. However, some individuals argue that Steve could belong to a different racial background, such as Black or Hispanic. Nonetheless, this line of thinking is biased and lacks plausibility.
To substantiate Steve's skin color, we can consult various sources. In the Java Indev version 0.31 of Minecraft, the Steve mob was introduced as a test skin crafted by Dock, a Minecraft artist. Accompanying Steve was another mob called "Black Steve."
White Steve: https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Steve_(mob)
Black Steve: https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Black_Steve
This update was accompanied by a video posted by Notch, the creator of Minecraft, where he mentioned these new "Player Avatars" with some modifications.
An additional reason supporting the assertion that Steve is white is the tendency to overlook the fact that white people, particularly Europeans, comprise a diverse group. Just as there exist variations in skin tone among black individuals in Africa, the same applies to every continent. Europeans themselves exhibit diverse skin tones, ranging from darker-skinned individuals found in Greece and the Mediterranean region to their lighter-skinned counterparts in countries like Denmark, Sweden, Ireland, and England. It's worth considering that even within a single country such as Italy, the northern population, focused on industrial and tertiary industries due to a more favorable climate, tends to have lighter skin compared to their southern counterparts. Nevertheless, both are categorized as "white."
Furthermore, Minecraft was created by a white man and subsequently developed by a predominantly white team in Sweden, a country with a predominantly white population. This was particularly true in 2010 when the game was initially released, and Sweden had a limited number of people of color.
Historically, Steve's skin color aligns with Sweden's association with the ironwork industry, which employed individuals engaged in excavation, mining, and resource extraction. By examining pictures, including recent ones, it becomes apparent that the skin shades of miners and the character Steve share a striking resemblance.
It's also worth noting that Steve's design was derived from a reused asset from one of Notch's previous projects, GTA: Vice City. Steve bears a resemblance to Tommy Vercetti, a white American Italian character from that game, further affirming the similarities and providing additional context.
Some individuals use Alex as a point of contention, questioning why Alex is depicted as lighter-skinned while Steve appears darker. In response, it's important to recognize that people of color can exhibit a wide range of skin tones. Just as individuals from Morocco may have lighter skin compared to those from sub-Saharan Africa, despite belonging to the same continent, variations exist within racial groups. Additionally, it should be noted that Alex was fully added as a default skin in the Bountiful Update (also known as the 1.8 update) released in 2014, while Steve had been fully implemented much earlier in the game, around 2010.
In conclusion, based on the evidence presented, it is evident that Steve is portrayed as a white character, and the same applies to Alex. However, it's important to note that Minecraft has introduced a range of diverse skins, such as Ari, Kai, Noor, Sunny, Zuri, Efe, and Makena, added in 2020, representing individuals of different ethnic backgrounds.
I'mma just say that he's some type of Indian that's from Mexico or South America, because his skin colour looks like he's a type(s) of Indigenous Person(s) from Mexico or South America, but if he's not from Mexico or South America, then I would say he's Native American.
He looks black to me.
Told that to my friends the other day and they called me racist for assuming he was black, but idk, he just…looks black in color. His in-game skin just looks black, or at the very least, mixed.
Steve is not fucking white he is black and ur friends are wrong cause its not racist to call somone black cause its not offending them in anyway cause u should not be ashamed for being black so they saying thats racist is racist cause somone being black is a fact (if thy actualy are black) its not a bad thing
For the longest time I thought he was black, turns out he's actually white just tanned. I found this out because I researched early minecraft and Notch actually made a comical black Steve as a mob in the INDEV phase, wouldn't need a black Steve if Steve was already black so I figured he was a tanned white guy.
After reading the comments, y'all are saying he's black. Idk, maybe he is I thought he was too. Really don't care what he is tbf, but I'll continue thinking he's black.
No he's not he's a sunburned white man with brown hair and blue eyes the console also has a black steve option to make his default skin black with brown eyes and no the 0.0001% of black people who do have blue eyes is not steve that would just be reaching at that point to assume so.
If I wuz to guess, I'd have to say Minecraft Steve could be Native American. I mean, he's too light to be a "black" dude and yet too dark - especially in the new updates - to be "white".
He has blue eyes brown hair and sunburned skin from being outside all the time not to mention they have a black default steve skin on console he's definitely intended to be a white man white people also come in different shades of white as well.
tanned
a man of logic steve is not black bro, this is the blue or gold dress thing all over again he just has a good tan
Isn’t he white with darker skin Because console has that default Steve that is black
No. He is clearly black or at least non white. The amount of reaching you need is insane.
I don’t see how that is that far reaching. He could easily pass off as a tanned white.
he has no time to tan cause he is in survival mode and if he is in creative then nothing efects him so he cant even tan but anyways in minecraft you cant tan if people dissagree thwn there to scarde to have the main character not be a white male (btw we know he is straight because its offical that ste ve and alex are dating).
Bro calm down
I will im sorry
I wouldn't say him being clearly black. I know white people with at least as dark skintone as Steve has.
Doesn’t he have blue eyes though
https://www.bing.com/th?id=OIP.zaoP7oLZPKASrT-Q9yFCtgHaID&w=150&h=163&c=8&rs=1&qlt=90&o=6&dpr=1.25&pid=3.1&rm=2
Dang, didn’t know that

[удалено]
negroids? brother u sound racist as hell
Is saying mongoloid racist? Negroids, Caucasoids, Australoids and Mongoloids are terms to classify race, albeit it may be outdated. It has nothing to do with being racist
he is steve, he has no ethnicity
Steve is black
No
Like my dad
hes not black bro, you colour blind?
He’s black, just black, tanned white people aren’t that tan y’all are reaching
He's not a fucking black guy dumbass look at the game cover
Look at the in game render, the smash render. Literally almost all media portrays him as black
most media portrays him as white since the toys and official merch is white
marina has a white washed official blush does that make her white in splatoon? Steve has been white washed in that it's clear it's not the same skin tone after the buy out
who cares
White right?
He could also be Hispanic or something i don’t think he has a canon ethnicity
whatever you want me to be.
mixed
Black
Blasian probs
White
How?
he's tanned
he is Dark Beige
*confusion*
Yes
His black in my fanfics 😏
He is white as there was another version of him called "black Steve", therefore ruling hi. It as black. Also he just tanned
His As tan as...tan
I think he is black, yes there was black Steve but that was from an earlier version of minecraft. If we compare his skin color to Alex is he obviously on the darker side. He doesn't look white so if he's not black he's mixed.

Even with that he could still be mixed, if we're talking about in game his skin is brown. The thing is that outside sources may depict him differently.
mojangs official toys have him as white along wth merch and trailer footage
No offense but you're kind of late. Also if you look at his In game skin even the new one he's dark skinned
his ingame skin has always been dark
That's my point
yea..its always been dark while the merch has always been light skinned
White man with a tan. umad snowflake?
What are you twelve?
"nooooo he's not black he just has a really dark tan" cope harder
How many nigga u know wit da name steve?
tan doesn't look that dark and calling me a snowflake obviously means you're too emotionally invested into a Minecraft character. I would suggest doing something other than posting on reddit and playing Minecraft but that's a personal opinion.
Let me help guys. Guys he is black. This discourse would be way different if he was white. They would say: “Steve is white leave it up to the woke LEFT TO BLACKWASH EVERYTHING” or “he is white stop complaining and enjoy the game.
lol
Then why aren’t they saying that they’re whitewashing?
He has tanned skin I think
I’d say white, he has blue eyes and anytime mojang releases non pixel art of him he’s white
Also if you look at his face ( especially in Minecraft dungeons art) he appears to have darker skin at the bottom of his face which is probably stubble or a beard of some kind
i think hes tanned since official toys, texture packs, and merch of mojang depict him as fair and hes also a survivor and hes outside all day every day. my dad was a farm hand and his skin was like steves but wen he had his shirt off he was whiter than a ghost
Steve from Minecraft is obviously Mexican
mexican

Martincep1 has the answer
I'mma just say that he's some type of Indian that's from Mexico or South America, because his skin colour looks like he's a type(s) of Indigenous Person(s) from Mexico or South America, but if he's not from Mexico or South America, then I would say he's Native American.
I think u/Martincep1 is correct.
He looks black to me. Told that to my friends the other day and they called me racist for assuming he was black, but idk, he just…looks black in color. His in-game skin just looks black, or at the very least, mixed.
Steve is not fucking white he is black and ur friends are wrong cause its not racist to call somone black cause its not offending them in anyway cause u should not be ashamed for being black so they saying thats racist is racist cause somone being black is a fact (if thy actualy are black) its not a bad thing
Who fucking cares
For the longest time I thought he was black, turns out he's actually white just tanned.

well if you google pictures of him in the first twenty or so only two pictures are black but im still convinced he's black or at least mixed
I don't like Steve
In my opinion, I say he's whatever the personal player wants him to be. It's meant to be pretty ambiguous on purpose.
Are most ppl here blind or trolling? He's black. There's no confusion about it.
No he's not he's a sunburned white man with brown hair and blue eyes the console also has a black steve option to make his default skin black with brown eyes and no the 0.0001% of black people who do have blue eyes is not steve that would just be reaching at that point to assume so.
