I'm talking about the standard male Shepard. When i was the first trailer for ME I thought he was african american, but when i played I couldn't deside. He was born on Earth, and Earth is for rich people which he was not, you probably know and in the codex for Earth it says Africa has yet to leave 20th century technology. What do you think?
(This was not supposed to be racist in anyway shape or form, if you get offended then Im sorry, its just supposed to be a silly forum question.)
What race is Shepard?

According to ME Ascension, the "white Indian" skin color is the norm on Earth this time. This also includes the dark hair; light or blond hair has become a rarity. I'm not sure what to say beyond that, though. I'm guessing John is Caucasian of Middle Eastern/Indian descent, but I really don't know.

maybe toss in some eastern european into firey phoenix's above mix (dark hair + square jaw)
also, although many nations are rich, they would still have a large number of urban poor, orphans etc. it is from this demographic our earthborn comes

He's modelled after the dutch model Mark Vanderloo, therefore he's dutch/caucasion (in appearance)Bentenjamin wrote...

He does not look african American at all.When i was the first trailer for ME I thought he was african american, but when i played I couldn't deside.
Poverty still exists on Earth in Mass Effect therefore theres still varying social classes (as there always will be)He was born on Earth, and Earth is for rich people which he was not,
It never specifically mentions Africa it simply says some countrys still are only at 20th century technology.you probably know and in the codex for Earth it says Africa has yet to leave 20th century technology. What do you think?
Anyways Mass Effect is an RPG (Role Playing Game) and even if you choose the standard (boring) default Shepard who is born on Earth you can still use your own imagination to decide which country he came from.
Thats the beauty of RolePlaying!

The accent is irrelevant, Vanderloo didn't voice him.

... His default appearance is Caucasian. His custom appearance can be anything. Why are you people discussing something that is so clearly evident?

There's no such thing as different races among humans. Only different cultures and ethnies.

You mean ethnicities??
No matter. It's completely wrong. There are several different races on planet earth. Aborigines(nearly exctinct), negroids, mongoloids, caucasoids.
I don't know how much crack one would have smoked to think Shep was anything other than white-caucasian. His facial features are almost stereotypical caucasian.
