Hi all,

I've been playing for a while now and have about 15 troops (no casualties). Every single one of them is white (about 10 male, 5 female).

Is everyone in this game white? Or do you only get black troops when you start the game in Africa (I began in Europe).

It just looks a bit odd to me - I'd rather have a mix of people.

I didn't encounter a single black guy or girl throughout the whole game.
A few indians, some arabs, but no black people.

I did have a black guy, Blackeye, but I let him die since he suck at several important stats. (NOTHING against black people, it was just that crappy guy!)

At least there is one black guy then - I'll start a new game in Africa and see what happens.

hey, i got a black guy in my team. he started at 4th level with good handgun, cap, rifle and psi stats. also, an indian woman and what looks like an arabian guy.

also, i just found out i' playing at the default level...which is HARD! no wonder i've been struggling! i tried resetting it but there were no options in-game.

I haven't come across a single one yet... It's like on television though - no program is complete without at least (or in most cases at most) on token cultural minority figure.

Had a couple of Indian people though...

I've a couple in my current squad plus I've lost at least one in action. Ive also got a chinese lady and a couple of middle eastern origin. In fact I've a distinct lack of blondes.

Because blondes are too stupid to sign up to the CoE and fight for their existence (boom-boom).

I apologise for that very blondist joke, but I thought I'd get it out of the way before someone else did

best topic subject..EVER!!!

RALMFAO

ha! I have 1 blonde chick in the squad. She cant do anything right!
Keeps up squad's morale tho

Yeah,
they read CoE and all ended up joining the Church of England.

Maybe there's a whole team of blonds praying for victory.

If any blond ready this, I'm sorry, it's not your fault your blond.


As far as multiculturalism goes,
well, I have blacks, whites, and shades of Greys.

(greys, as in the aliens, d'ya see what I did there, hah, I crack myself up)

dunno why those chinese speak english in european accents

I got one black in my easy game, been there almost since the beginning, and he is about the best shooter, and all around soldier. I got two ladies, and one is a blond, and she will cut you to ribbons, from a 1000 yards out, so to say. They are dangerous, and my best soldiers. She is now even Level 8, and Malcolm, and Michael, are close to level 8, while Margaret is gaining also. My two ladies will cut down any alien even near them, and perhaps, a few men on this Planet also.

I named the first black guy i got Cleaver, after Eldrige Cleaver

I turn the gamma up, and I notice that the black guys look real white with the gamma turned up.

Im still trying to get a brit in my partey and a german without a lisp (oh well the review said dodgy accents applenty)

I have two black people in my party armed with grenade launchers :sly: tend to come in useful except in bases

black people are always the first ones to die in scary movies.

UFO AF has a scary theme. I think there's less black people because the developers knew that the aliens would target them first.

No Polish either. What's your point?

I didn't know polish people looked different from other white people. How do you know that one of them skinheads isn't polish? Or Danish? mmm... danish... <drool>Danish</drool>

How do you know?

names accents and nationality.
the only invisible minority in the game are Canaks. Other then that there are no ***mans.

Well, those bad Indian accents could just as easily be bad Welsh accents, if you change the callsigns to something that sounds Welsh...
