    This isn't really a debate.

    You confuse the point I made saying that a minority of people thinking in the negative way of being better than other people. For instance as you so pit it a person that he or she or any variable of human is part of a specific race and that this person who believes he is part of that race is above any other person and labels other people into a race which he does not identify with.

       The argument that black or white or Asian and etc is a race (and not just non descriptive words that don't actually make define anybody) is flawed in my opinion and all people are people. If I see the category of choosing to select a race on an application will choose none. 

       Science fiction excells at diversity in characters often yes that is what is appealing about it. Apex Ledgends is the first and best game I have played with such a diverse character base and as popular as it is reaching the almost top played game on console behind Call of Duty at the moment.

Fair haired and fair skinned protagonist fit into many generic films of our generation and decade. Apex Ledgends changes that perspective.

@L2pushWhen you single out fair haired and fair skinned with ''Because only a minority of people see themselves as above other people and that shouldn't be contagious'' how does that not sound racist?

Diversity has been well established in games and the creation of them for over a decade and while Apex has continued to promote that trend it hasn't changed any perspective or done anything unique.

Edit: Although in previous generations we had mostly white characters in games and films, those countries (which were or still are predominantly white) have made huge strides making their games, films and society in general inclusive for all races and religions and is something that should be praised. Not giving them the cold shoulder by excluding them or singling them out in subtle attacks.

    As an example of a current protagonist who as I first quoted to be the fair haired and fair skin stereotype male. I can suggest James Bond. But I understand that even those words can be deemed offensive. 

    It is to understand that many people have not had access to the career paths that could have made acting for instance accessible making the choice of established actors to choose from for another James Bond film potentially among a smaller group of people making the possibility of diversity in backgrounds and ancestory smaller.

       The post is really about trying to raise everybody higher and moving away from all stereotypical assumptions. Things are moving forward and this is I suppose just one post to support that.
