I do have to say, I see Crowley in the early 90s in England, as white. I figure it's an issue of blending in and the majority of the English population is white. Sad to say, but he'd draw a lot of unwanted attention as a person of color in a designer suit. Especially if crimes tended to happen around him. He'd just have more clout as a white guy.

I do love these artworks, though. And can totally see him being various shades of color throughout history when and where appropriate. I was planning to do that with Six Millennia 'til it died. :p If the artists are interesting in making Crowley a character of color, though, why does he always have Caucasian features? In a couple of those pictures, he just looks like a white dude with a tan.

Another pattern I noticed - it's an art historian thing - but Aziraphale is blond in all those images. I've always wondered about that...

At any rate, I think you're right that it would be impossible to have a decent discussion about race at LT. That's one of the reasons I stopped following it a while back.
