Second I (as well as others) would like to thank Darth Ric for starting the Ashley Williams Support Group. Many thanks Darth Ric, many thanks.
Number of posts so far:
As The 'official' Ashley Williams support thread was shutdown.
It ended with 34932 reply's in 1398 pages
I would like to thank TeenZombie for this find about our favorite Chief in the Alliance.
So to all the haters out there just try and deny the word of the Ashley Williams Lore/Cannon writer. You will lose.

I've been meaning to drop this quote off in this thread for a while, so here is a quote that (hopefully) will put the "Ashley hates aliens" myth to rest. This is Chris L'Etoile, former Bioware writer, who wrote Ashley, and posts around the web as Stormwaltz, on the Penny Arcade forum Mass Effect thread:I find it interesting that so many people have stereotyped her as "the racist." At a couple of points she blasts the Terra Firma party as being "bigots," and she openly admires the power of the Destiny Ascension in the Citadel approach cutscene - not quite what you'd expect from a xenophobe.
In her first conversation she spells out her thinking pretty explicitly (the bear and dog metaphor), and it's nothing more than a short paraphrase of the most memorable passage in Charles Pelligrino and George Zebrowski's novel "The Killing Star":When we put our heads together and tried to list everything we could say with certainty about other civilizations, without having actually met them, all that we knew boiled down to three simple laws of alien behavior:
1. THEIR SURVIVAL WILL BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN OUR SURVIVAL.
If an alien species has to choose between them and us, they won't choose us. It is difficult to imagine a contrary case; species don't survive by being self-sacrificing.
2. WIMPS DON'T BECOME TOP DOGS.
No species makes it to the top by being passive. The species in charge of any given planet will be highly intelligent, alert, aggressive, and ruthless when necessary.
3. THEY WILL ASSUME THAT THE FIRST TWO LAWS APPLY TO US.
And it's hard to dispute this. At the least, you could say the krogan live by these rules. It's certainly a more suspicious and pessimistic point of view than most of us are comfortable with. But is it racism, or realism?
Anyway. I fully expected some people write her off as a bigot. What surprises me is that no one's pointed out that her position does have some sense. Evidently, I did something very wrong here.
To answer a question from... I don't know, tens of pages ago, if you romance her and have persuade, you can convince her to be a bit less extreme in her opinions.

And there you have the man who wrote the character, telling us what she meant by the bear and dog comment, and her view on aliens. Realism, not racism.
So there!!!

Here are some Ash quotes, thanks again to Funkcase for posting them:
''Get up to the bridge skipper, I've got other weapons to check out...Hey skipper
before you go I just wanna say.....you know what? I'm not telling.... you
wanna hear this your just gonna have to come back to me.''
''Why is it that whenever someone says with all due respect, they really mean kiss my ass?"
Ashley: I didn't know you speak corporate.
Shepard: All you do is shove a stick up your ass and care more about money than people.
Ashley: That would be a waste of a fine ass, sir.
Ashley Williams: Huh. Nobody died.
Kaidan Alenko: I could shoot someone if it would make you feel better.
Ashley Williams: Nah, I'm good.
''Huh if the Geth are trying to find god I will be happy to speed them up on there way.''
''Subtle as a boot to the face.''
''Just because I can drill you between the head from a hundred meters, dose not mean I cannot like sensitive stuff!. Just don't spread it around''
''Nothing like a nice stroll on the beach Blasting Bad guys with ma Boomstick"
"Dammed if you do, dammed if you don't"
"Sir do you think you shot him enough?'
Shepard: "It's good to know where I stand with the galaxy, where do I stand with YOU?"
Ashley: "About a meter away........sorry, I'll be serious."
"Commander Shepard.Captain of the Normandy. The first human Spectre. Savior of the
Citadel, You're in the presence of a god Delan. Back from the dead."
Shepard: What if I ordered you to kiss someone else?
Ash: Well if you ordered me to kiss a superior officer that would be in violation of the regs.
So I would be forced to decline and relieve you of duty....... sir.
Shepard: "We've got oceans, beautiful women, this emotion called love,
according to the old vids we have everything they want.
Ashley: "If you expect to get me in a tin foil mini skirt and thigh-high boots, I'm
gonna need dinner first... Uh... sir... "
Kaidan: "That'll be enough, Chief."
Shepard: "At ease lieutenant, cant see her in a skirt anyway."
Ashley: "Damn straight, you cant!"
Shepard: "The Geth are perfect ambushers, Williams. They don't make noise, they don't move, they don't even breathe!"
Ashley: "Sir, they have flashlight heads"
"I'm a hellcat off the battlefield too....Sleep tight Shepard."
Shepard: Shut up and get over here.
Ash: *playfully* Make me.
Ashley Williams: That puts a whole new spin on the phrase "drop on the floor and give me twenty".
Commander Shepard: You still sassing' me soldier? I think you need more physical training.
Ashley Williams: Tsk. Now, skipper, what will it take to prove I'm in prime condition?
"Bold words Shepard, I like bold"
Shepard: Think I should go talk to Wrex?
Ash: Well it couldn't hurt...well... maybe a little.
"Wait...you survived because you're *lazy*?!"
Kaidan Alenko: When you put it that way, there's no reason they wouldn't like you. I mean, us! Humans! Ma'am.
Ashley Williams: You don't take much shore leave, do you, L-T?
Kaidan Alenko: I can see why this place is so popular, it's got quite the..uh....view.
Ashley Williams: Hey LT, put your tongue back in your mouth before you trip on it.
Ashley Williams: So you still interested in me, baggage and all..
Commander Shepard: Everyone has baggage Ash, the trick is to have a matching set.
Ashley Williams: *slight giggle* That's awful, please tell me you got that out of a fortune cookie.
''You are totally shameless, you need your own line of greetings cards *giggles*''
Ashley: *snarky* it's a noble goal, to bad most of your members are just racists!
''Where you at Shanxi?! If not then shut your pie hole!
Shepard: What do you want Chief?..
Ashley: Wouldn't mind a foot massage sir....sorry, I will be serious.
''I don't need money, a knight in shining armor or a man to make me happy, this is who I am....I like her *with a smile* and you best too''
''A Williams has to be better than the best, if only to avoid suspicion''
Ashley: That's when it struck me ''I'm the first person to ever of stood her'' then my drill instructor kicked me in the ass, he spent the next 20 minutes chewing me out for goldbricking.
Shepard: Don't tell me you had Gunnery Ellison *laughs* he's the only person I know who uses that term to describe shirking duty.
Ashley: *giggles* Ow lord, you went to the Macapá boot camp too?
Ashley Williams: So all we have to do is find this Thorian thing and... woah.
Commander Shepard: We're gonna need bigger guns.
