If they colored her differently, she would be indistinguishable from a white woman. To the point that I like white women more than black, it's for the kind of features that Amber more or less has. By conventional, I mostly mean, hair affected normally by gravity.

So why bother with this girl who has no apparent upside, and the show has to go out of its way to find ways to make her "awesome" and brilliant and worth the trouble Mark goes to. That there is an obvious planned love interest is one of the things I hate on shows or other ongoing media, because either the plot wastes time with other relationships that aren't going anywhere, or the other relationships work better and it gets annoying that they end purely for authorial mandate.

I have never understood the problem people had with that. Like, I get racism, and I don't have a problem with people drawing a hard line saying they would never do someone of a particular race (or having a fetish for a particular race) and I can see picking on a racial issue as a grievance for losing your chance at someone who picked a partner of a different race, like say, in Othello. But I don't understand why people care about interracial stuff. And it's on both sides of the political and racial spectrum. A black coworker, trying to get a rise out of me once jokingly got in my face and said "I LOVE white women." I was just like, "yeah, me too," which seemed to throw him. Later on, when he had a daughter by his white wife and people made the usual jokes about how cute she was and "you're gonna need to keep the guns handy when she's old enough to date" his reaction was "she just better not bring home any niggers." Or a practicing religious family member, who was scandalized when, on a TV show we both watched, a white woman who had previously been seen exclusively kissing or sleeping with women, kissed a black man. Like, that was the first religiously acceptable kiss she HAD on the show! But it was the thing that shocked a woman whose favorite SCOTUS justice is Clarence Thomas.

I think that's what gets them past the cartoonishness of it all. And it's kind of refreshing to see superhuman speed and force actually having the realistic impact on human anatomy. On "The Boys" it looks like they're going for the shock, but it kind of fits better with the cartoon.
