 * 1) No swearing, even in shortened form.
 * 2) Hello to you too.
 * 3) You don't know me, I'm neither biased nor racist.
 * 4) Moronic statements such as yours don't help anti-racism. In fact, they diminish the fight. And "I bet you're biased. Iberian... Known well for your racism." is kind of racism. Focusing on having a fictional group changed of pigmentation, contradictory to the published material, might hint an agenda.
 * 5) Which isn't adding the actual material from a comics into a wikia:
 * Try to remember this is fictional material. We don't have to care about Paleo-archeological evidence here, because there is no Stygia in Earth-1218.
 * Robert E. Howard could indeed have been a bit of a racist, though not at the same extent as his friend H.P. Lovecraft. I'm looking for serious essays on the subject, but I read that REH himself came to be aware of his bias and regretted to have written some of his tales. But I've never said he had no bias, so don't put words in my mouth
 * The pattern of lighter-skinned ruling over darker-skinned and "crossbreed" populations is sadly frequent in REH and many other authors' works. In this very case, it's possibly related to the belief (whom IIRC was partly confirmed recently) that some Pharaohs were light-skinned. That belief was seemingly reprised by REH, who explained in his story that fair-skinned red-haired Vanir conquered the Stygians and became the Pharaohs of the early Egyptians. Yet again, even if that was considered to be a racist view, it's still what is in the comics, and it is fictional.
 * Try to read the actual material first:
 * To avoid doing wrong edits
 * To avoid wrong assumptions

Bellow what is written in the entry for Stygia, in the :
 * "royalty and the most ancient nobles, relatively tall people with black hair and fair skin."
 * "the core of the population, a ruling elite of aristocrats and a powerful middle class, dusty-skinned, hawk-faced, and haughty of mien."
 * "The lowest classes consist of peasants, proletariat, and slaves of hybrid stock, a mixture of Kushite, Shemite, Hyborian, and Stygian ancestry."

And I'm Breton, another nation/people (R.E. Howard would had said "race") that has not a single side in this issue.
