That's all I've got to say on the Matter. Yes, I am insane, why do you keep asking?

I think once the character creator is better, we'll be clearly seeing lots of different ethnic groups. They were there in the original trilogy, but it was hard to tell sometimes (especially with male NPCs, since the character creator made men look like a Mr Potato Head). So unless they had a really obviously non-white name (Maeko Matsuo, Samesh Bhatia), it was hard to tell.

I know, more or less.

I'm just pointing out I like to think it happened that way, I mean seriously, whose going to tell America no?

Canada?

Roll a quarter million troops up there and I bet they cave before Christmas.

Do the same with bits and pieces of central and south america and there you have it!

 

Nah - the way to defeat the Yanks is to declare war on them and then not engage ... they'll kill themselves off with "friendly fire" by the end of the first month. The Canucks just have to sit back and watch, eh?

So much diversity, and no one from South America.

Unfortunately, in future South America, everyone now looks like Casper Van Dien.

Well hopefully it's just trolling/roleplaying, since that sounds exactly like "the white man's burden", just change humans with white men and lesser races of universe to "lesser races of earth". Pretty colonialist and racist ^^;

They were wrong because they didn't understand that every Human is the apex of our planet.
You seems to think that we don't commity slavery. We do it to the lesser beings of our planet, be them animal, plant, fungi, bacteria or virus.

You are right in that I don't see slavery being something that happens related to animals, plants and bacteria. I have seen some animal right activists using slavery as term though, but not really related to plant, fungi, bacteria and virus. And I'm assuming that you don't think that either

[TehMonkeyMan]

Id prefer they focus on Alien diversity

[Wulfram]

Making guesses as to the ethnicity of the human characters on this non-exhaustive list of characters in ME3 on the wiki, I'd say that about 60-70% are white, and maybe around 15% Black and 15% Asian. Obviously a lot of subjectivity and guessing there.

So, is that a good proportion? It seems like it's fairly in line with the american make up, but with more asian characters. But it's not very close to make up of the planet as a whole.

For Blondes I know one of the novels mentioned that natural blondes are rare in the time Mass Effect takes place in.

Is this serious? No way this is true. Whoever wrote that novel would need to lack a fundamental understanding of human genetics to write that sort of nonsense.

Ofc I do, and you don't think it because they are lesser beings.
We genetic change a virus for it be killed by our immune system and call it vaccine.
We store yeast to produce a alcooholic drink, I'm pretty sure they die when we ingest them.
Our pets cant go where they want wherever they want and we sterelize them.

Bacteria and yeast lesser beings compared to various race of humans and aliens? Yes.

Ah but without all that helpful bacteria living in your digestive tract you would die, so who's dependent on whom?

If we want to go with biology in thread what isn't about bacteria exactly.. some bacteria live in symbiose with humans (both dependant) and some are parasites that can kill you. Same with animals and their bacteria.

[Boost32]

In sense.

In biological sense they are, we decide when they alive or die, we think of them as things, so they are our slaves.

It doesn't mean I think we are wrong in slaving any of those lesser beings (even animals), as I don't think we making the Andromeda species our subservant races.

Indeed.

 

 

We need a thread about the need for more bacterial diversity.

 

BioWare is infringing upon the rights of our co-inhabitants!

Ah so there was your point in this.

 

Actually they aren't since they don't have brains nor thoughts. They just have nucleus that humans have in every cell. And we wouldn't say that our every cell is living being on it's own. Viruses don't have even that as long as I remember, I studied biology last time in high school.

 

Compared to humans alien races in ME1-3 and ME:A aren't any lower. They aren't bacteria nor animals so slaving them is like slaving another human being. Morally wrong

Plants are alive and they don't have brains. Brains determinate the ability to think not to be alive.

Humans beings are animals too, so slaving them is like slaving any other animal. If they don't have the means to defeat us, they are lessers beings too.

I think the problem here is that you seem to want to convince me that aliens are in same level as animals/plants/bacteria. That they aren't in temrs of fiction of ME (they aren't real of cource, or so far as we know). All planents have their own animals, plants and bacteria there and similar hierarchy as we in Earth.
