A story isn't derivative of another solely on the basis of having a cast of the same color.

A single aspect of a narrative can be derivative all on its own.

I disagree very strongly with this point, so let's agree to disagree?

No, no, no. My point isn't that you should accept my definition. My point is that there is no universal definition.

When it comes to Duncan and Isabella, Rivaini blood is mixed so I think they are supposed to be the equivalent of biracial. Especially since I don't think Duncan has full Rivaini parentage.

Exactly. If Bioware could make sexuality a non issue in order to be more inclusive, why couldn't they make Thedas more ethnically diverse as well?

 

It technically is, just not in Ferelden and Kirkwall all that much. Orlais could possibly be more diverse but probably not that much

Stop calling Indians, and Arabs/Persians/Native Australians black people. They are relate to blacks, and are actually white people in reality.

 

They are Caucasian. All of them.

I'm not sure you know what Caucasian is...

 

I recommend you see the list on the right of this page. As you can see, it can be considered that black people can be either from Africa or the Pacific. I don't care you have a different interpretation, I just wish you were less... rigid about it.

 

And I think this is the last time I'll answer to your argument. I'd recommend you either accept people have different opinions or, once again, that you drop the argument.

So, there is a different way of interpreting your post as anything but "If someone identifies as something, then s/he is that something regardless of anything else"?

My mistake, clearly. Do explain.

 

I've a feeling you know the history of people of color living in Western nations as well as I do, especially the United States.  You know as well as I do that questions of race are tied up in imperialistic socio-cultural notions.  A white guy claiming to be Black when they have no Black heritage whatsoever is not at all the same thing as a person who DOES have a Black heritage identifying themselves as Black rather than biracial or anything else, irrespective of however much other heritage they might have.  

 

Trying to draw an equivalency between the two is, you guessed it, a mark of privilege.  An absurd one, at that.

It may be just me, but I remember seeing quite a few NPCs in DA:O in Ferelden who don't qualify as "white". Mainly who would identify as Ferelden (if you were to ask, peasants and such). We haven't really seen places where people are swarthy or olive skinned yet. I don't think Bioware lacks here. 

 

And even if they didn't, they shouldn't add in people of different colours simply to be more PC. It would seem forced.

This person has a tendency to troll after being proven wrong, so i wouldnt take that comment seriously, unless the jokes on us and they've trolled the entire time building ridiculousness as they go

Just a suggestion:  if you want them to drop the argument, maybe you should just stop engaging them.

I made typos

None of you have proven me wrong, and stop lying

 

 

 

 

 

 

If it is my fate to face the world alone....

 

I ACCEPT IT WITHOUT HESITATION!!

In your opinion, what if your mother is Black and your father is Indian? Does it make you biracial, half Black, or what?

 

 

No, no, no. My point isn't that you should accept my definition. My point is that there is no universal definition.

 

I see. In my opinion, no matter how dark your skin is you aren't tied to a certain group. I know Indians who have pale skin and Indians who have dark skin, I wouldn't call the other White or the other Black. That's how I see it anyways.
