exactally as you said meph. blizzard cant, unless they contintue making diablo games for the next 200 years, have every race included. the selling point for not being racist is that it is not ONLY white. there are a mixture of races.
Also, its not like they just say, 'hey lets throw in this asain chick for sh its n giggles', they add story to each of them. go to the d3 website as we all know.
There is technically no such thing as racism since humanity is a race. They're called ethnicities. However, since modern society has unfortunately inbred this critical misconception in to our brains, let us continue...
this is probably the most thoughtful thing i have heard on these forums. have u read Critical Race Theory? that is pretty close to what is stated.
"A third theme of Critical Race Theory, the 'Social Construction' thesis, holds that race and races are products of social thought and relations. Not objective, inherent, or fixed , they correspond to no biological or genetic reality, rather races are categories that society invents, manipulates, or retires when convenient." Critical Race Theory
i also agree with your part about people play for the armor/spells/badassnes, not races in the game.
I feel that blizzard is not out to offend anyone. This would be a different issue if they ONLY had white heros every game and black/brown demons. This is not the case.
I would say the OP is getting to far into it, but it is good to constantly question. Questions like this are necessary. We need to be constantly checking the world around us or it will get to far out of hand.
