The eye color and skintone doesn't necessarily mean anything regarding his ethnicity, but remember that back then his name was also 'James Sanders' (augh, such a boring name).
Technically the majority are complaining about his appearance, not his character. We know what he looks like, so it's not 'prejudging' to judge his appearance.GamerJ wrote...

While you can't know a person solely based on looks, a fictional character is designed to reflect their personality through their appearance. It's true that you shouldn't write a character off based on appearance, but you can't discount the effect that personality has on appearance either. Their visual design is a glimpse into who they are.
I kind of think people who say that were going to kill him regardless. He's taking up a slot on the roster, some people think at the expense of many fan favorite characters. For some people he has no shot of winning them over.FoxHound109 wrote...
Sort of. You'd be surprised at how many: "I will never use this guy, he needs to die, I hope I have a choice to kill him, he looks a douchebag, he'll the first on my list to kill, I'll never interact with him" comments he's been getting. =|
I would argue Liara is still sweet. IMO LotSB existed solely to show us that the tough, ice queen bit on Illium was a facade which quickly crumbled at the end when she got all teary and turned back into a sweet little nerdy girl. Furthermore, LotSB also updated her look somewhat to mature her, which fit with her personality growth.Sort of. I don't know how much this counts outside of characters where looks are an important part of the story (Miranda and Jack). In the case of someone like...say, Liara? You could argue that she looks sweet, but then you'd have to encounter her in ME 2 and ME 3 and realize that she's not really sweet anymore. But your point is mostly fair.

I will admit, my tweaks make him look a lot more like Soap than the original, but I'd honestly rather have a badass Scotsman fighting at my side than a "Bro".
But that's just me.

New version is too pretty. I've grown attached to the jarhead look.

The characters I disliked most in Mass Effect 2 had tattoos.
Zaeed Massani and Subject Zero.
Which gave me the opinion that if a character in Mass Effect has tattoos, that's a warning sign that I'm not going to like them.
And oh look, what does James Vega have on his neck?
First chance I get, Garrus is going to replace him on the squad.

I can just picture the art direction:
"Okay, here's Soap McTavish. Shooter fans LOVE this guy. Now we need to make Vega look almost exactly like this guy."
"Isn't that going to be too obvious, sir?"
"You got a point. Soften his jaw line."
"Done."
"Still not different enough. Turn up his nose."
"Okay, I think-"
"Not different enough...Try inflating his lips!"
"Sir, i think we've"
"KEEP GOING! CHANGE EVERYTHING!"
"Even the hair, sir?"
"What? no! Well, yes, can you make it a Faux-Hawk?"
