You can't judge the characters by their names.



I can change my last name to Wong, but that doesn't make me asian.

who in their right mind would name their kid "scary story", "heated discussion", "dialog (etc.)", "buddhist altar" or "staircase"? or more likely something out of other kanji that sounds like the above?

Well, Kaidan's mother was exposed to some serious eezo. Staircase sounds just about right.

lol, however my point still stands:
it's obviously C/K+a/ay/ai+d+a/e+n (which is Gaelic, I believe) and they just went for the spelling that looks like (the transcription of) a handful of Japanese words - whether by accident or intentionally I can not say.
not only because of the logic in meaning, but also because the pronunciation would be way off in-game if it were indeed Japanese.

Canada is the only country that matters.

you mean America's hat?

And by America you mean Canada's ass-less chaps?

Easy, being american I can admit canada invented the greatest sport known to man, hockey.

MLB,NBA,NFL can rot in hades for all i care, boring sports.

Easy now a canadian invented Basketball, and the origins of football are up for dispute too

But yes hockey is the greatest sport of all time

As soon as we the hairless monkies get it through our thick empty skulls that WE are all ONE tribe regardless of race, color or what name you choose to call God the better off we will be. I think that in the future we have arrived at this correct conclusion in the face of completely different intelligent species, which presents us with a confirmation of the one tribe idea, that to bring up our ignorance in the past would be to glorify that ignorance in our present.

This thread quickly becomes inane considering the most important person in the entire galaxy, Shepard, can believably be any ethnicity you can imagine.

*sigh* So if there were only 10 characters, one being black, one white, one French, Russian, Itialian, Japanese, Indian, Chinese, British, and Spanish would you say the Chinese are not proberly represented because in our world they represent almost 1/5th the world's population?

These threads are getting more frequent and more silly.

I think I'm going to start a thread about how everyone in the ME universe seems to be in incredible shape thereby demonstrating proof of BioWare's discrimination against over-weight people...

**rolling eyes**

I agree with this. I want a big old fatty shepard. I want my Shep to heal with Big Macs and screw medi-gel.

 and humanity as a whole is what you'd encounter in space..

Says who?  Do you think when the Americas were colonized a perfect representative sample of each ethnic group and population migrated at an equal rate equally to every settled county? 

Nope:

Human migration into space will not be ethnically equal.  It was be technological elite founding colonies which only the poorest and most destitute types willing to take indentured servitude/corporate slavery on a world years away from the homeworld would be willing to put up with, religious and idealogical radicals who are unwanted (such as the puritans who the Dutch and English no longer wanted to deal with in the 17th Century).

It's likely in the Mass Effect future that China is the most powerful country on Earth and that its citizens have no reason to leave and colonize other planets whereas Earthborn Shepard's background (rough conditions, poverty, overcrowding, etc.) indicate that his North American place of origin (Canada presumably) is not in good shape and is probably a huge colonist pool. 

Just looking at GDP growth over the past few decades, it's likely that in the next 100 years China, Russia, India, South-Africa, Brazil and Mexico will al become relatively wealthy, or at least build up healthy and sizable technological sectors. Combined with the countries that are already wealthy, that means countries from all over the world would be in a position to participate in space exploration if it became technically possible.
