Well considering there is no America and there is no Africa in the dragon age universe......

Wow, so your friends with the writers, aye.   
Qet real, Africa is next door to Europe, and Asia is on the same continent of Europe. 
We have only ever seen Fereldon, people.

I see you completely missed the point of the post you quoted.

Except for Rivain. Which has dark-skinned people and is in Thedas.

Those are tanned, not black.

Source? The only one we've seen in game is Duncan, and he's half. I believe in the books his Rivaini mother is described as being quite dark.

Black is a cultural identity as well as a color. Rivaini are dark skinned but not "black". Unless you live in a country where "black" has no other meaning besides skin color.

From what I gathered.

Anderfels: White, based on Rome.
Antiva: white / tanned, based on Italy.
Free Marshes: A general location for everybody with no central government.
Ferelden: White, based on England.
Orlais: White, based on France.
Rivain: Tanned (Duncan's mother was from Rivain), based on Spain.
Nevarra: White, based on Germany.
Tevinter: Heavily hinted to be white and gothic.
Seheron: Qunari.
Par Vollen: Qunari.

Visual and cultural diversity is more interesting than visual and cultural homogeneity.

On a personal note, I practically glow in the dark but the environment I grew up in was very diverse. I like seeing diversity represented because it looks and feels true to me.

Yeah, but what looks and feels true to you here isn't necessarily what would feel true to a fictional setting. Adding diversity for the sake of adding diversity... I'm not so sure it's the right move.

The Free Marches strikes me more as a rough-and-tumble Wild West kind of place, so we'll probably see a large mix of various cultures, and hopefully a general moving away from the blandness of Ferelden.

That's true. I've been replying as if it were shorthand for skin color. I like visual diversity. This extends beyond skin color, but considering they can make NPCs in a variety of skin colors without making entire new models it doesn't seem like a huge thing to ask. I also hope we learn more about the various culture of Thedas.

.... Does a continent called Thedas exist in the real world?

No.

The Dragon Age world is not Earth.

I didn't ask for diversity in DAO because of the setting, though I could have brought up the Denerim docks as a place where you'd likely see it.  It's just because of how the Free Marches have been specifically described that I'd be disappointed if we got there and it was homogeneity as far as the eye could see.

You're not a very good troll. At least make it subtle or funny or something.

Brah is a little above Rubbish Hero and a little below Filemoto in the Troll department. It's useless.
