heh, i actually wish we had a fat character in Mass Effect.

I'd love to go renegade with her and be all; "I'll call you when I run out of cover in my next firefight."


... I feel bad now

Also Admiral Kahoku, Kaidan Alenko, and Samantha Traynor.

Admiral Kahoku is Japanese, and Traynor and Alenko are biracial. Kaidan appears to be Hungarian and Japanese by way of Canada, and Traynor appears to be Anglo-Indian.

Oleg too.

Maybe I should feel bad too, but if I'd had that option in a dialog, I would have had to take it...

Did the comics say that Oleg Petrovsky is biracial?

Just wondering since the name itself is Russian, and the character looks caucasian.

It can be either Hawaiian or Japanese.

In Polynesian it means 'the star,' in Japanese it is a surname derived from one of two places of origin. The first is a small city on the Western coast of Japan, the second is a small town in northern Honshu. Both are named Kahoku.

In that case, I would still say he's Hawaiian, just judging by his accent and skin color (not to sound racist).

Between Curvy and Skinny... the best area there is

All female squad members fall in that category... except Miranda she is skinny ....with some exceptions.

I always thought Kahoku is Hawaiian.

Anyhow.. Even my Shepard is Asian. But that's because I wanted to be able to identify with her. (Come to think of it.. all of my FemSheps are at least part Asian.) But to be honest, I'm just happy that there isn't such a stress on race amongst humans in the Mass Effect universe. Sexuality isn't really made a big deal of either. They just are. Humans are all considered one people, and I absolutely love that. We're so far off from that in modern society that it's just great to see.

Hooonestly.. I really did wonder about this too. But I think in part, it does go back to their target market. *shrug*

If you're going that route then, why the lack of african americans (to be politically correct)? If I remember right, Jacob, Ronald Taylor, Anderson, and Brynn Cole (I think) the only african americans in the entire trilogy. They show more asians than african americans in the trilogy. I might be forgetting a couple, but you get my point.

Are we going by voice actors or not?

You may as well add Ashley if we're.
Otherwise Anderson was born in london, can't speak for the others.
Also black is black.

I was going by the characters themselves.  Not voice actors.

Black does not equal African-American. Brynn is likely of European descendance, while Anderson is from London. We never learn where Jacob or his father are from.

[DextroDNA]

So you'd prefer the Galaxy to look like Asia?

In reality; practically all movies, TV, video-games star white or black people as most of the characters (mainly white). That's because these shows and games are western, where most people are white or black. If Asians had made Mass Effect, there would be essentially no white people and everyone would be Asian.

It's the way it is.

I know but, I didn't want to say "black" cause I wasn't sure if someone might take offense to it.

Additional body types/skin colours/etc means extra expenses. Judging from the game (e.g. this, they had to cut a lot of corners to make the game as it is.

This is the internet, forget about such stuff if the context around the word in question isn't deragatory then pay no heed to political correctness.

 I mean come on, even today, 1 in 5 human is Chinese, 1 in 6 is Indian, 3/5 of the world is Asian, but when it comes to intergalactic representation, nope, every human on the Normany is Caucasian, and just about every other human you'd get to meet is white.

 I'm not trying to be political or trying to be politically correct ... it's just not realistic.

They primary audience is white. If Mass Effect was released in China for a Chinese audience all the NPCs might be Chinese. But as North America and Europe are the intended market.

That's rather presumptuous considering the story takes place 170 years into the future.

not really, in fact i'd argue the fact advances my point even more. seeing how birthrate in developed countries is far lower than the developing countries.

And what happens when those developing countries finally reach 1st world status?

Their own birthrates will drop.

Then ME a century later.

 It's the same reason that everyone seems to be from Canada, England, and Australia in the 22nd century.  Americans and the land mass of the USA has also vanished by then.
