The [STEAM] Thread Gets Even With Anime Toast! [Child's Play] SPREADSHEET IN OP
given that alien species are fundamentally biologically distinct from us, who is to say that ashley is wrong to distrust them
aren't some species, e.g. vorcha and batarians, genuinely intrinsically evil? and even the ostensibly good ones don't have ethics that map directly onto ours, not by a long shot
people talk about her as if she was directly equivalent to a racist, but racism is based on fabricated biological differences and species-based discrimination is based on real ones. our dismissal of her position is based almost entirely on a false equivalency and we really should give the matter a second thought
you're absolutely right
although according to the Vorcha codex entry they're a product of their environment and Vorchas raised in specially controlled programs are actually okay guys

he's wrong about Vorcha being evil not different
Racism is flawed because there is no viable scientific standard for differentiating between "races." There is a viable scientific standard for differentiating between Salarians and Humans.
