@Watermelon1204 - as @Necator7 mentioned and as stated on this page, the 1001 app is written by a Chinese company for a Chinese audience in China (where in 2010, 91.51% of the population was Han Chinese, and 8.49% were minorities). Like a lot of anime or anime-art styles, the art idolizes "white skin"; it has been a cultural paradigm in a lot of asian societies since the end of World War 2. If your distaste for the 1001 app is directed at the company for producing such an app, they produce one that the Chinese government will approve and one that will sell and make them money. So, in my opinion, if you want change, the only way you will achieve it is for Communist China to do away with communism and become a democracy. The groups fighting for the freedom to be seen in public may have an easier time getting Japan or South Korea to change than China or North Korea.

I don't believe we are "praising" it or saying it is "necessary" in the way that you believe is discriminatory. Tencent -the company- has to make what Communist China will allow them to sell, and that is a product that propagates white skin and heterosexuality. The company does what it thinks is necessary for it to be successful in the Chinese market. Tencent isn't making the application for a world-wide audience; they aren't making it for an audience in the United States (where Whites comprise approximately 60% of the population, Latinos 18%, Blacks 13%, Asian 6%, etc); they're making it for a Chinese audience who aren't arguing why the characters look white instead of Chinese.
