The Verge - Elden Ring’s character creator fails Black players.
Thanks Max. "This isn’t just an Elden Ring problem; it’s a video game problem. For
many years, players of color have had to mod in things like kinky hairstyles
and better, more authentic-looking skin tones in order to have the kind of
representation that white players get by default. Games with a customizable
protagonist are nearly always represented with a white-passing avatar. And
when games do include Black hairstyles, it’s almost always only a fade and
an afro, which are the go-to styles whenever a character creator wants to
give the appearance of inclusivity while not actually being all that
inclusive. (Looking at you, Mass Effect.)"

C'mon man, he's so reactionary that answer is obvious.
He's happy with white people having unearned advantages, and therefore you should shut up about anything related to changing that status quo. It's all your problem, he doesn't want to hear about it because it's working out fine for him.
