Racial diversity amongst humans in andromeda?

You still don't get it do you? About token representation and putting non-whites in subordinate positions relative to whites. Whatever. Plus I did not assume that you are a white male, I told you to check your privilege. It seems that you fail at logic too. Educate yourself. 

How is Anderson either token or subordinate? He's one of the highest ranking people in the alliance, can be a councillor representing all of humanity and leads the world's fight against the reapers.
He sets in train the events of me1 and me3. He even gets a fantastic death scene.

Oh god ok I'm I'm not sure if you're just being facetious or if you are genuinely too dumb to comprehend how narrative hierarchy works.

He's not.

Look, the thing here is that, if we had a more or less realistic representation of racial diversity, with white people being a minority compared to everybody else, we would not be having this discussion.

But that's not what we get.

We get a grand total of 3 Asian looking people, if my memory serves me well. In real life almost 50% of people on earth are Asian.
We get like 3 black people. In real life the amount of black people on earth is roughly the same as the amount of white people (about 15% of the entire population)

And hundreds of white people.

So what do we ultimately get? A wide range of characters with white skin, and an extremely narrow range of characters from different backgrounds. And as for the latter, most of them, if not all, die, get punched around, are helpless or do bad shit. This matters because there are so few of them. If there were hundreds of black people and hundreds of Asian people, it wouldn't matter if some did bad shit, got punched around or died. But because the sample size is so freaking small, it does matter.

And yeah I ignored a few backgrounds here as well. Middle Eastern? Is that even a thing in the game? Latino/a? Apparently Ashley is of Latin American descent, but I had to look really fucking hard to see this, and still barely do.

So in a game where minorities are allegedly few, none of them can be bad people? Are you seeing what I'm saying? It sounds crazy to say something like that.
And who are these "bad" minority characters in Mass Effect? All I can think of is Kai-Lang and Brooks and Udina I guess but I thought he was a White guy. 

Who dies? Anderson? Yeah he dies after all that awesome shit he did in the trilogy. But the fact that he dies suddenly negates all the good things he did? That's almost as bad as saying that Jacob cheating on Shepard negated all the good things that he did. It almost sounds like (and I know you don't mean this) that if a Black character isn't flawless then something is wrong with them. That's just not fair. Anderson and Jacob weren't saints no but they did a lot of good things too. In fact I don't know what Anderson did that was bad but whatever.

Emily dies yeah but she was just an unimportant quest giver. She wasn't super important to the story anyway. Are we saying that Asian characters can never die because there are so few of them? Again it just sounds crazy. I mean we could fix this if we say that Asian characters must always have great plot armor so they never die and make someone mad but that would just be bad writing.

Kalisah gets punched. Ok but you don't even have to punch her. In fact if you don't punch her in all 3 games you find that she's actually just a nice person who is taking out her anger on the wrong people and she actually supports Shepard in the third game. She even stays on the Citadel during the coup to... Whatever. Rule #3 Indians can never be included in acts of violence in a game full of violence because that's bad. Ok. You see how crazy this all is right?

Ok helpless. Which minority characters are helpless? I don't know. Gianna Parasini wasn't helpless. Dr. Michel wasn't helpless. So who was it? I don't know!

But ok lets say we do things your way and we make White people the minority group. Will we still make bad characters that are White guys despite the fact that there will be so few of them? Because that would be a double standard. Or will we keep these weird standards and make them all angels that can do no wrong? That would be bad writing.

You see what I'm getting at here?

Am I really missing the point if you couldn't answer even one of my questions?  Who are these bad people? Give me names. if this is happening then you should be able to be specific and give examples. There's only like 6 amirite?

Yes. Because you zoom in on the individual and that's ultimately completely besides the point. The low representation is the core issue that turns what happens to these character into a problem, not the other way around.

And that all just gets worse considering Mass Effect's setting, set in the distant future with a coalition of human forces. That almost everybody is white is just ridiculous. Period.

If this is caused by marketing, then yeah, we have to put up with it. We can't fire the players and appoint new ones.

But, again, getting the demographics of the MEU wrong is a world-building error. The MEU, according to its own lore, should have different demographics than what we are observing in-game. If the lore said that, say, China and India had a thermonuclear war which devastated the populations of Asia, or even terrible economic setbacks which left the region unable to participate much in the Alliance, that would make what we're seeing consistent. But that didn't happen.

To be honest, I think that the vast majority of people not looking purely anything would be a much, much better representation of what humanity would look like in 2187.

I support this notion by different reason entirely. The traumatizing impact of facial hair is dangerously close to the cruel and unusual punishment.

Also, where do I sign up a petition for a hot Asian guy? Yoshimo, Kai Leng, one of eight Carvers and that one customization for Malavi Quinn are slim pickings. My too boring to present but very advanced scientific calculations indicate a woeful underrepresentation.

You are just ignorant. And now you resort to name calling since you no longer have a point.
