Your reflection clearly depicts the evolver software’s lack of racial variety outside of Caucasian. Rather than describing every single issue you had, you generally summed up that there were not enough Asian options. Not being particularly familiar with the nuances of Asian facial structure, I could have used more discussion as to what you would look for in Asian options, and what it was about the available options that made them unsuitable for you. I would hazard a guess that after many attempts at producing what you really wanted in a self-avatar, you realized it was not going to live up to your standards and settled into looking for what looked ‘most Asian’ and went from there.

Your outside source is unsatisfactory. It fails in ground your reflection in anything beyond personal opinion, and the only thing it achieves is to tell us what some clothing for your fantasy avatar reminded you of. An article on racial identity and avatar creation could have been a solid (and easy) anchor point for your piece.

I enjoyed your walkthrough on the creation of Disco Buddha. I find it interesting that, rather than creating a fantasy character of yourself, you created a character with no real connection to yourself beyond the fact that you imagined it.
