So 20k humans, and a few more in the nexus pods. You think they'll mostly be of white European stock/origin? Evenly dispersed and divided amongst all races? How much black and East Asian people will the AI take in?
If humans in andromeda resort to cloning or test tube babies what race will they mostly be?
Will they all end up looking like Goobacks 100 years after they've reach andromeda?

I'm gunna go out on a limb here and say "Humans." We're a pretty low genetic diversity gang of mammals, but those are the breaks.

You know, every time I see one of these threads I think of Poe's law. I can never tell if this is satire or what you actually think.
I like it that way.

My internet humor detector has been faulty for like 6 years, anyway. I generally assume everyone's joking or over-exaggerating unless they come out and tell me they're serious.
And this is pretty standard.

Of all the humans we've seen so far, one is of indeterminate ethnic origin, two are black, three can be altered on the whims of the player, one is white, one appears to be Middle Eastern/South Asian, and once looked either hispanic or east asian.
I'm sure we're fine with the diversity.
Unless you're one of those "I'm tired of this liberal tears diversity push cuz we only have one confirmed white person even though the marketing is depicting the two main characters as their white defaults!" types.

based on what ive seen in previous mass effect games, i'll say most characters will be white, with only a few non-europeans and other races like the squadmate from africa and that other african guy from today's combat trailer in the mini dialogue cutscene. anyway im way too interested in clan nakmor at the moment to even be thinking about the racial diversity of the humans in the andromeda initiative. humans just arent that interesting in mass effect

First: Hi Dutch! Second: I think it should be fairly diverse. From what I've seen, counting the NPCs ( not player or squadmates) I spotted at least six people with darker skin. And about five maybe six people with lighter skin tones. I gathered some screengrabs I took off of YouTube, of everyone I could find with the exception of Kallo Jath's blonde female co-pilot because I couldn't find her. But if they start making test tube babies, I hope that make every ethnicity look the same. A totally new ethnicity that looks like Sectoids from XCOM, that way we Star-Bellied Sneetches can stop hating each other, and start worrying about the aliens that want us to surrender or burn! EDIT: Also, Reyes is a Hispanic name and Jien sounds Asian.

Remember how Bioware killed off Emily Wong and turned Kai Leng into a total loser. And made Jacob into a cheesy cheater? Yea they don't have the best record with "racial diversity".

By the looks of it the human race has overcome race issues that far into the future. So it'll just be "humans" rather than any specific race.

Racial diversity in this context is irrelevant, because the OP makes the false assumption that Humans in the Mass Effect universe possess physical features that would make them strictly unique to one only ethnic group.
Its 2185 - I'd like to think that Humans have transcended the barrier of primitive tribalism such as ethnic groups.

Well, they certainly haven't transcended the barrier of primitive species tribalism, and Earth is still divided into nation-states, etc. So I don't share your optimism.

It wouldn't take long for 20 000 people to turn into Goobacks. Not that it matters, since this game is about the first generation.

Vat-bred humans with carefully selected genetic traits will be the future.
For the first generation, they may well pull an Inquisition and just randomize the colors of skin and hair.

If I enjoy playing this game, the concept of racial diversity, its lack or otherwise, won't pop into my head.

I expect Mass Effect's ethnic make up will continue to more resemble that of America than it does the world, let alone the worlds expected population in the future.

Goobacks? Why would you bring that up? Only because you're interested in the potential orgy scene, isn't it?
