Granted I only got into EA this year (2021) but from what I've seen, it's the opposite. There's only 1-2 faces that could pass for black or asian for humans, tieflings, and elves. Half-elves, dwarves, and halflings only have Caucasian faces. I don't count Githyanki since in general they're alien looking enough but it's still easy to see the caucasian base for the faces.

It makes no sense for a fantasy game to restrict visual representations of the various character races to predominantly Caucasian base features. There are PoC who play RPGs and some of us would like to at least be able to play characters that look somewhat like ourselves. A luxury PoC haven't had since the inception of CRPGs without significant work to either find and import fixed portraits or spend significant time with character creators that allow for minute customizations.

As Asian myself, I'm sorry to tell you that in fact it makes sense.

The place the BG3 takes place is mainly populated by ppl who look like Europeans, who live like medieval Europeans. Asian looking humans do exist, and most of them are in Kara Tur, very far to east.

The whole setting is supposed to be a reimagined fantasy Europe, I myself would prefer they keep it that way.
