Racial diversity amongst humans in andromeda?

Hi Dutch^TM.

I'm white, but I honestly don't care who shows dominance in Mass Effect. I like to think that by 2185 CE, the Human race has risen above seeing each other as different colors (or lack thereof), and realized that there are things far more alien than the people that live north/south/east/west etc.

I mean come on, people! We're so much better than that!

If history has taught us anything: it's that we're stronger and at our best, when we work together!

EDIT: Also, Reyes is a Hispanic name and Jien sounds Asian.

but some times race terms confuse me. There are so many!

Clearly the White-Nationalist movement gainend a lot of ground in the Mass Effect storyline. Either that or European peoples turned succesfully towards cloning.

Actually that be a great storyline for a potentional spin-off, the inner struggles of humanity not involving Cerberus.

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've gotten numbed to this sort of talk after having spent so much time on the internet in the last couple of years... or just in the world
I'm sure considering it's supposed to be representative of a future almost 200 years from now, that the group of humans on average in such an establishment as Ai is going to be pretty diverse. Not just diverse american guys but also asian attendees and european as well as middle-eastern people. That's the wonderful thing about a contemporary sci-fi setting that depicts a far future. You can really play around with things like this without being forced by certain lore-rules unless you've set those up of course.

I honestly had a problem with how liberally DA:I depicted sexuality and race when so much of DA:O and DA2 focused on the tension and oppression of especially Dragon Age's version of diversity which is elves vs humans vs mages vs templars and stuff. I'm not asking for those characters to throw stones at people who don't have white skin, but the whole "Hi I'm transsexual, I'm with the Qun, and you have to refer to me with a male pronoun!" and "My father didn't want a gay boy so I was forced into marriage because Tevinter is evil!" was pretty darn preachy for a series that used to be more in-line with its own lore. I don't doubt Tevinter is evil, but to highlight homosexuality and make it sound like the cliche "My father won't recognize me because I came out as gay" was a bit too suburbian and not-Dragon-Agey to be Dragon Age IMO.

Mass Effect has always felt more like "real life" in depiction if you get what I mean. I think I would be more accepting of it here, especially because "Daddy Issues(TM)" is such a trope.

Then in DAI, and the book about Orlais, they get meta with real world stuff where all of a sudden sexuality diversity wasn't the norm anymore. All of a sudden, gay was "bad" to generate cheap heat for "villains" and stuff. Was so weird playing Celine and Dorian's quest lines with the homosexuality is actually okay stuff as the driver, when the previous 2 games had already well established that no one in Thedas cares and it was cool to be as gay as you want.

I actually think it ended up neutering the racial tensions in the game, which were always super interesting, with an equality message that breaks it's own in-universe social dynamics.
