In the God of War series, Kratos is depicted as a Spartan warrior in Greek mythology. The character design of Kratos, as created by the game developers, does indeed portray him as having white or Caucasian features. He has fair skin, light-colored hair, and blue eyes, which are commonly associated with the depiction of white characters in popular media.

It is important to note that the concept of race in mythology can be somewhat different from how it is understood in the real world. In Greek mythology, gods and goddesses are often depicted in human-like forms, but they possess supernatural abilities and can take on various appearances. They are not limited by biological or physical characteristics, including race.

However, when it comes to the visual representation of characters in popular media, cultural and societal norms often play a significant role. In the case of God of War, the creators made a conscious choice to present Kratos as a white character, as seen in his physical appearance and character design.

It’s worth mentioning that there has been ongoing discussion and debate about representation and diversity in video games and other forms of media. Some argue that characters from various backgrounds should be included to ensure more inclusive and diverse representations. Others argue that certain characters are rooted in specific mythologies and should remain true to their original depictions.

Ultimately, the decision to depict Kratos as a white character in God of War was made by the game developers, and it is important to acknowledge and understand the cultural and historical context in which these choices are made.
