Other than a few skirmishes there species hasn't done much. You would think more of that would be directed at Turians or Geth.
thoughts?

Their government are funding batarian slavers and pirates to focus on humans? I think thats pretty bad

[Teknor]

It's easier to hate.

This. They kinda bring it on themselves.

And they tried to drop a big rock on Terra Nova. Dick move, I say.

[Wulfram]

They killed Colonist Shepard's parents

Didnt read the word GOVERNMENT in that sentence did you?

Batarians are these horrible neighbours who shout at you, insult you and are constantly trying to poison your dog.

Turians have once driven over your dog, afterwards apologized and offered you a cookie.

And everything we've seen of them gives the impression that Batarians have a higher concentration of extremism.

Again, this is just going off of everything we've seen of Batarians. Sure there may be a few "good ones" but where are they?

[Village_Idiot]

Most (though not all) Batarians you meet in the ME universe have a somewhat anti-human stance. This for the most part if because they come from a totalitarian state which demonises humanity, while funding clandestine operations that directly target humanity (such as piracy, Balak and his goons may also have had government backing). As such many Batarians are indoctrinated (in the psychological, NOT the Reaper sense) against humanity, so it's hard to blame their hatred.

More like they were killing you while police intervened.

[BinaryHelix101]

I don't really hate batarians but I'm not surprised most do. I mean, since almost every batarian we meet (we meet only a fraction of them) is a terrorist of some sort, it's easy to believe they're all like that. Like when white people oppressed black people, many black people grew up racist just because every white man they met was a dick. But it doesn't mean they're all dicks.

Damn I got baited.

But hey, cookies!

Let's see, depending on the origin of your Shepard, batarians kill everyone you love, put that with slave trade being a big part of there culture, there government is corrupt, they are anti human, they tried to drop a meteor on a human colony. The list can go on. Batarian hate is very justified, they might not be all like that but we have never seen a good batarian.

yeah but we have cerberus that is so entageled with the allaince since first contact. We took space that they claimed and the council did nothinga s we encroacheddeeper and deeper in to an area they claimed and the council sided with us, this random new species.. it was bound to cause a blood feud, if they had done it to us we would have responded the same way.

What about the Geth? They are loved here and many humans died at their hands throughout the games. Rather than eslave humans they just turned them in to this

[Mr.House]

The heretic Geth are a very small faction of the real Geth. That is why.

[Steingrimur Steingrimsson]

Because Bioware wants us to hate them. I think we've encounter, one, maybe two, reasonable Batarians? And I don't recall meeting anyone who isn't a thug, mercenary, terrorist or a racist. (I may be wrong, my memory is poor at best). I'd really like to get to know them better, that is why we must have a batarian squad mate!

would that make a difference to all those that died at the citadel, eden prime etc. 

People keep pointing to "colonist Shepard" and his/her backstory but this stuff happened in front of you...

Well Garrus had a good one on his squad in Omega it seems, however my main Shep is a colonist war hero. So screw em. He doesn't hate them, but if any of them get out of line they will die quickly.

[SilentNukee]

They gather slaves because it's part of their "caste". That's enough reason for me.

Oh, and this. ^

[azerSheppard]

It's simplt, we have NEVER met a reasonable batarian.

As for Turians, Garrus is a Turian, but he is one of the most likeable characters around, he makes up for Saren, hell, atleast Saren has an atmosphere and charisma about him, what do the foureyes have?

Definitely not, the mages from DA2 were very easy to sympathize with for the reasons of 1.Being unable to change themselves(just like we can't change who we are) and 2.Being oppressed regardless of what they had personally done. Practically every batarian we personally see in ME2 has no redeeming qualities and lets not forget about the human hating government they spawned from. It's very easy to forget that these batarians we see are not a good representation of the average batarian citizen still living in batarian space.(according to the codex) So in a way they are like the mages of DA2 but in that game we are constantly reminded that all mages aren't insane/evil and we ourselves can even be a mage.
