Mass Effect- God Dammit Ash

Description

So I'm replaying Mass Effect and hear this little gem. Instantly a forehead slapping scenario. I've got two big problems with this moment. 1. Dammit Ashley that's incredibly rude and just a bit xenophobic sounding to about everyone. 2. You feel compelled to say this OUT LOUD on the CITADEL of all places, right in front of your ASARI teammate!

And this is why I hate people who jumped on the "Ashley racist = Hate Ashley" bandwagon as evident of the ignorant artist and comments here. I am really annoyed when people bring up her supposed racism, when she only brings it up when you directly ask her for her personal opinions. Hell, most of her opinions only become known when you directly ask her.


The only bad thing could be the "animals for the aliens" thing, but that's near a Keeper and possibly a hanar. Meanwhile everyone else, Garrus, Tali, Mordin, Grunt, Wrex, fucking Javik and Dr. Chakwas all bring up their racism mostly out of the blue with no prompting. Especially Garrus who was a cop on the Citadel, for goodness sake! Hell, no one gets on Javik's butt for being a fucking racist imperialist asshole who openly and specifically expresses his desire to conquer and subjugate the primitives in unguarded moments.


To be honest, if I had to do a list of "Normandy's Most Racist Squadmates", Ashley isn't even in the top three of most racist. Tali, Wrex and Garrus in that order have her beat for "most racist ME1 squadmate", since the only time Ashley even considers advocating for genocide is regarding the rachni, and that was less "they deserve to be wiped out" and more "humanity does not have the context of what the racnhi were, this is a call that should be made by the Citadel Council and the species that actually dealt with them".
