You should also mention there are two counterpart mods called "black only" and "yellow only"

Released at least two years after the original WhiteOnly mod: "Edit 26-mar-2020: finally, the injustice has been corrected: all races are welcome! You can choose the range of skin colors you want in mod settings." https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=15187...
