Also, I like how golden tigers get to have a golden tan, white tigers get to be nearly-albino, but the black tiger wasn't mentioned as having dark skin, nor was the red one mentioned as having skin that was ruddy, coppery, or anything to suggest something the slightest bit different from ordinary Euro-Caucasian peach (not that white people can't also have those skin tones, though Anita seems unaware of that). Much like Richard's tan versus the ~creamy goodness~! of the vampire harem members, Anita's lovers can be tan or pale so long as they're still white guys.
The golden tigers are basically white Asians. She gives them yellow/golden skin...but not too yellow and notices how she compares it to a tan rather than actual Asian skin colors (though the only Asians who appear in the series are bone-white, LKH doesn't seem to understand that not all Asians literally look like china dolls). The tigers also retain Caucasian features...so white Asians, white enough that Anita can bang them with just a hint of exotic 'flavoring' so she can pat herself on the back for being progressive.
The man with straight hair and blue hazel eyes says his name is Mephistopheles.
I cannot take this name seriously. Every time I hear it, I think:
