Ashley says is too similar to some of the things I've heard some idiots
spout for me to view her in a favourable light. YMMV, but I can't see
past those things. It's a flaw, I suppose.
And this. I've heard the arguments Ashley makes way too often. Some of the stuff she says does legitimately make me uncomfortable.
You know, you could warp what Garrus says in those videos in the original post into something more relatable.
"Well _____, I hope you and the rest of the German people are feeling miserable over what you did with World War 2."
"You know, _______, I was raised to believe that (Enter group of people here) are horrible scum bags. But you seem different. That surprised me."
I could. But it's not a focus of their character. Ashley's latent distrust- whether you think it's justified or not, I won't say who is right or wrong- of aliens is a part of her. After the clusterf--k of bad press her dad or granddad went through for surrendering, it's something that's at least somewhat ingrained. She focuses on it enough that people picked up on it more.
I find the vast majority of characters, if not racist, then more focused and partial to their own race and culture. The people you pick up tend to be somewhat different- Thane's concern for the human innocents, Samara has a distinct fondness for humans and their culture- but even then, their concern, largely, for humans is through either the collector threat or out of personal loyalty to Shepard instead of 'innocents are disappearing, we must do something!'
It's like a window into today's society. I don't see much difference.
