What, Muslims or the Middle East? You'll find we're not scared on either front, if that's what you mean. The vast, vast majority of both types live perfectly civil lives over here, muddling along like the rest of us do, making their own contributions too.

...but you should be. The demographics are heavily against you. Native Europeans aren't breeding but the masses of immigrants from the Middle East and Africa are. Worse yet, they aren't assimilating very well into European culture.

Sadly most of you are too devoted to being politically correct to protect yourselves. You are committing cultural suicide.

I care about equality a lot, probably a lot more than you do. You liberal types have a very perverted definition of it.

You're right. Conservatives have kept the exact same definition of equality that was around when this country was first founded.

You win this round.

I don't take sides in politics so your label means nothing to me. I just support allowing others their individuality without feeling the need to force them into what I personally deem is right for them to do.

So you have no interest in politics or what? If that's the case why are you interjecting in this debate? Obviouls you are taking a side or you wouldn't be arguing against me.

From what I read in articles, Places like France and Scandinavia are not being treated well by their foreign "guests".

Hmm, me thinks alot are overthinking this. Humans were ushered by the Council after the fluke of holding off a few Turians. We definately would have been destroyed if a full fight happened.

We're the jack of all trades but master of none. All the other species have evolved to specialize, we just do it all, not the best at all but we do it all.

And ultimately, that's not what diversity means nor it is the POINT. The Protheans were a single race more advanced than ALL current galactic civilisation and provided the only opening for current galactic civilisation to survive, and ultimately a Reaper could not be made out of them, just Collectors. Genetics is the word, and Bioware doesn't really need to explain how, mapping out a genectic map so hardcore fans can find the anomalies ourselves.

It's simply a combo of our genectics work for whatever the Reapers look for, combined with a bit of...well not respect or fear, but a human's persistence and leadership keeps foiling their flawless plans.

*Looks at my Shepard*

Congratulations, you only read things written by racists, and people against immigration.

You're very perceptive. I'm an immigrant from Africa to the United States, it speaks volumes about you that you can tell we are trying to destroy your culture.

Fine. I support the side that allows people to make choices of their own free will, that lets them keep what makes them unique, that doesn't force them under a pre-determined way of life.

As much as I disagree with saphra and his/her blind patriotism, there's one valid point: The Council is succumbing to a rapid degeneration of it's own array of cultures and history, and will join the faceless, culturless, and tasteless state of the Human race.

The Council and Citadel Space are more concerned about the impact a species has on the galaxy and their expansion as well as the influence they will have than how long they've been there.

They see how fast humans have evolved since finding the mass relays, the technology they've produced and having a fleet that rivals the Turian fleet after barely being outside of their solarsysytem. - Of course they are going to want to invite us into the citadel and give us an embassy, they want our "power."

No doubt there are foreign guests who behave badly. No doubt too, that there are naturalised foreigners that behave badly. No doubt further that there are indigenous peoples who do so also. However, we here in Europe produced for ourselves Hitler and Stalin, to name but two in a long, long list of folks behaving badly. Race is not a precursor to crime.

Oh get off your ****ing high horse. Humanity has as much culture as any race (and that goes for America too, by the way).

The Council degenerated because they eliminated all their competition and were too successful at keeping the peace. They lost the capability to fight when they needed to and so their peace became more and more artificial. The first sign of trouble was the geth uprising. The next sign was the First Contact War. Then came the batarian and human conflicts, followed closely by the geth invasion and the Collector attacks.

The old Council just isn't willing to use its power anymore, they are too afraid of a real war. I don't don't blame them, but they will pay the price for it. (and have, if you've played a renegade)

What about all the odd subterranean mutterings about conquest and control by being overrun here in Europe?

Actually, Saphra, there's some new research about that...

Nothing to do with race. And calling it subterranean muttering doesn't make it any less true.

Demographics and cultural assimilation concerns isn't the same as believing the brown people are inferior, the white people are arrogant pricks, and the yellow people barely have pricks at all.

That's racism. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

It's fear of the foreigner, the belief that you are threatened by the mere proximity of someone who's only definition by you is of someone who is not like you. Semantic word games are no refuge, it's obviously racially-derived.

No. Thinking brown people are inferior, that's racism. Thinking white people are arrogant pricks must be partways true, since some are. We all come across them. Thinking that yellow people barely have pricks is only of interest if you're curious about other men's pricks.
