Kaidan is Canadian. His mother was in Singapore before he was born, but we don't know if she was born there or what her ethnicity is. His father was an Alliance soldier. Again, no idea what his ethnicity is. The name Alenko is Hungarian, though.

Someone told me that Ashley has a black VA...

Yeah, Kimberly Brooks

So why is Ashley white? Is this like *Bethesda's all of the kids of black people are white?

Because voice actors don't have to physically resemble the characters they are voicing.

I can't see her being Hispanic. I could see her being African American as she does sound like a black person, just doesn't look like one.

Her ME1 writer said that Ashley is Hispanic. Given that her surname is Williams however, I'm assuming like Vega that she is mixed. Williams is a Welsh surname.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me how one sounds like a black person. I might be doing it wrong.

The notion that race has a specific voice is pretty silly when you start to think about it.

Yeah, I've been told that I do not sound black. Also, I am not black.

Black people DO tend to sound different.

it isn't always true, but it IS noticeable if one is around a lot of them, and around white people too.

Christmas, man...it's like traveling to two different worlds (completely serious here).

Somehow, I feel we're getting into the kind of territory that gets threads locked. Maybe we should just stick with the original topic.

In fairness, this is something that Bioware themselves have made a priority (which is not to say that they've made it their number one top priority). David Gaider isn't on the ME writing team, but his presentation on the issue might still come in handy.

I think the ethnicity or national origins of characters gets brought up occasionally because Mass Effect is set in a universe where the Earth has unified (sort of) under a single government. The Alliance represents every nation on Earth, so it probably should be a little more diverse.

I actually think Bioware did fairly well regarding race, its national origin that needs some work. Everyone sounds like they are American or Canadian and Anglo surnames are over-represented.

High on my list of hopes!

-A scandanavian female
-A south-east African female
-An indian male
-A Chinese female
-A west African male

I agree with Han.

Granted, I'm going to keep playing as a White American.

Because BW created things called LIs and racisisim in their games.
