I actually really enjoy Chris in 'ZAGS'. I was such a social butterfly in YAGS, and seeing him a quiet and demure is.. refreshing? Also, it sorta seems right that Chris seems to be bi-racial, though I can't rightly state why. It's like the whole 'Samus is a GIRL?!?!?' thing. I suppose you'd expect a CS major to have a geeky appearance, predominantly white, maybe slight in appearance, with glasses, though good-looking enough to draw the attention of multiple guys.
Having him depicted in ZAGS as a very handsome man of color is refreshing.
