"But there's more white people" is an incredibly old and weak excuse used to cover the heavy bias towards white people that still exists, despite there being no shortage of other races in the industry or in the audience.

    No, it's not a case of apathy "because everything is racist/ sexist" lol. It's because while people are fine saying that slurs and harassment are wrong, they don't like having it pointed out to them that they have benefited from a system that excludes or discriminates against other ethnicities and become incredibly defensive. This thread is a perfect example.
    Have you glanced at any statistics lately? New York's white demographic is comprised of 70% while London is 60%. That remains a significant majority. Even by your own admission, 20% is a distinct minority, which only adds credence to my argument. When you have such enormous discrepancies like this, you will always get a majority leaning. Just because Western media is consumed on a global scale does not mean there will be equal representation across the board. It's statistically impossible without artificially influence because they simply have a smaller pool to pull from. Unfortunately, multi-culturalism isn't growing, at least not in North America, especially when we have nonsense like "cultural appropriation" because a sixteen year old American girl wore a Chinese dress to her prom.

    Or people recognize it's not some oppressive boogyman holding them back. Stop blaming racism, sexism or whatever else for all your (generalizing) problems. This thread is an example of the bias SJW mentality trying to blame everything and everyone else. It couldn't possibly be SE simply having a poor character creation. No, no. They're unintentionally racist. What utter nonsense.
