Actually she reminds me of Michelle Rodriguez, a female actress who portrays a stereotypical tough girl latina soldier in every goddamn role she plays in. Thus, giving me even more reason to dislike Ashley.

And if you leave her on virmire then she's even more like Michelle Rodriquez

I don't get it.

She's human, that's the important thing. From what I gather from the Codex and whatnot, there are more people of mixed ethnicity in 2183-85 than in our current time period, and we have quite a bit now. I suspect that many of the characters in the universe are of quite varied ancestry, a natural by-product of increased globalization of communication, commerce and community.

Tell me what race do you think she is??...i think shes Latina

She's homosapien   Race isn't really... real.  There isn't enough variation in humans for it (despite what Mordin said).  Plus races are defined along arbitrary lines and differently depending on where you are in the world.  Well, I suppose "race" can be real, depending on how it's defined (it's a pretty loose term) - it can be useful in describing what a person looks like (but it does depend on where you are).  Even then it's not always useful e.g. I can't tell you how many times people have assumed I'm Chinese when I'm part South-east Asian part European :/

SO this. A lot of times people assume person's ethnicity based on superficial visual characteristics, when they could have a completely different Y-chromosomal or mitochondrial DNA haplogroup than is typically found in the assigned ethnicity. And regardless, those visual traits are extremely minor from a genetic standpoint, and are all pretty standard genetic responses to environment. Humans actually have remarkably little genetic variation, which is why I was surprised by Mordin's schpiel about human genetic diversity. We're a lot more alike than we are different, that's for sure. All living humans are descended from populations that evolved in Africa over the last 200,000 or so years, and until as recently as 60,000 years ago, all of our ancestors remained in Africa. And we're supposed to think we're all somehow different from each other in any meaningful way? Please.

"What are you?"

I get that question so many times. I usually just say I'm a mutt, because I'm American/Native American/Dutch/Indonesian/Chinese/English/I don't know what else

[Relix28]

Half hispanic (the looks), half redneck (the attitude).

[Seboist]

I always think of Ashley as being Albanian for some reason.

[Pups_of_war_76]

Her skin tone and facial structure suggests that she has some Latino or Hispanic blood, but since Williams isn't really a Latino or Hispanic surname, I'm imagining that she has at least some Caucasian ancestry in her.

What ever it is that Bruce Campbell is, that's what she is. I always figured that the name dropping was supposed to give us insight into her character, and in a lot of ways she IS a female Ash from Evil Dead, so why not just go with that?

[Woofy128]

It explains it in the novels. Humans in the ME setting are all racially mixed to a much greater extent than we see today.

[mereck7980]

Who knows, besides the fact that like many of you have said humans in the ME time frame have extremely diverse genetic heritages, she could be really pasty and use a high tech spray on tanner. Maybe she is a big Donald Trump fan?

[gorrillasnake]

well the world is already Extremely diverse...
