Racial diversity amongst humans in andromeda?

Personally I wouldn't mind the majority being white. But I think Bioware wouldn't do this.

Boohooo. I used the think Anglos were superior to me but now I think they're just subhumans that got a lucky break in world conquest and technological advancement.

Udina was a white boi.

Sweden lies beside Finland, Norway and Denmark. That doesn't makes me less awesome.

Its not an error, for lore purposes they mention that there are others but because its a western studio aimed towards a western market the most shown will normally be white, but I don't care to much about seeing humans anyways I prefer the aliens, so much more interesting.
Still one of my favorite scenes was the one cook saying "Have you tried Ramen, its a delicacy back on earth" good way to sell but what a load of crap

Would you prefer "inconsistency" to "error?" I usually equate the concepts since an inconsistent world is worse than it could have been, but I suppose you can make a case that "error" is the wrong word for something done deliberately and with full understanding of the consequences.

I'll do my part to pull this towards (A):

I had done tons of math a long time ago for Generation Ships, these come in classes, colony-class generation ships have just enough people onboard to support the genetic diversity necessary to negate the negative effects of inbreeding indefinitely IF the breeding population is controlled (i.e. you do not get to choose who you reproduce with, and all men and women must necessarily reproduce). this figure comes out to as low as 2k, but 10k is the generally accepted estimated number. it seems to me that adromeda knew this and simply doubled the population to 20k as a failsafe and to give some credence to offset factions which could each be as low in number as 2k population.

world-class generation ships are large enough to transport and indefinitely support hundreds of thousand or millions of people; the Nexus could be a generation worldship except that it is not supporting a single species but at least 6, one third of whom require a completely separate dextro-based environment.

as others have said, it would not take long for a population of 20k to turn into goobacks, thats just a fact of life. If populations were in the hundreds of thousands or millions, it would be possible for traits to remain dominant among certain groups for extended periods, even indefinitely. andromeda will turn into goobacks unless they can re-establish connection with the milky way, or unless the 20k figure on the hyperion is dwarfed by the 200k+ people on the nexus.

there is a way for people to survive with much smaller populations. there is a civilization, I forget the name off the top of my head, of only a few hundred people on some islands. they are cut off from the rest of the world and in order to survive they inbreed A LOT. they have a TON of still births and most of the children who survive birth do not survive to sexual maturity. the ones that DO survive to sexual maturity are almost always 100% healthy!! this is the ultimate 'survival of the fittest' that humans today experience.



edit: looks like people are really focused on ( might wanna close it.

edi2: I see people are talking about the low chance of black female LIs... I will tell you right now, as a straight white man, I would prefer a long haired pretty black woman to cora. any. day. of. the. week.

We had Vivienne in DAI, so it could happen.

I hope we get one in the near future, but I don't think it's likely. Probably a 0% to 3% chance that will happen.

If you have an inferiority complex due to race, the problem is in yourself for presuming an attack everywhere you go. Such pre-judgements are made on yourself because of skin color, and not the passer-by in the street. 

You know so little about me, and apparently so little about New York (narrowing down demographics of the boroughs is irrelevant, this is a city where you can have ten conversations in twenty languages down a street block on a daily basis, regardless of where you live) yet you choose to presume a LOT about something said in the context of a very irrelevent question about a video game. I wonder what sociology text it came from; it sounds like a poor attempt at intersectional analysis that presumes where one lives defines their outlook on social topics. 

Here is why it doesn't matter in the context of the game- they are all humans and racial hangups are irrelevant to them when aliens are walking around, and have been irrelevant for the whole series. 

Here is why it shouldn't matter in real life- we are all humans playing a videogame where we can choose that representation as need be for ourselves. The issue of race only becomes an issue when folks like yourself make it one. Doesn't matter if you are black or white to me, you're arguing something based on the presumption of an attack.

Your assumptions are not only wrong, but dangerously on the verge of presuming non-whites all suffer from an inferiority complex because of racial hangups. Perhaps you should choose your words more carefully, or get over your own apparent hangups that you may have.

As for me, I am going to enjoy a video game when it releases and not give a fuck about what the color of your skin is. Maybe you should too. 

That just how video games are period. You won't find a lot black female characters as important characters/squadmates in most video games. I don't think Bioware is any different. You got Vivienne as a squadmate in DA:I, that's about it. I don't feel like that's going to change anytime soon. Doesn't bother me much, it is what it is. The thread is about racial diversity in Andromeda and I just mentioned it as something I would like to see in the future, being that Mass Effect is my favorite franchise out of the two.

He it's hispanic, so latino? still not white.
