Ha, that is funny. The Great Wall of China built to keep out White People.

Um... no. Not sure if this is just a very poor joke or if a bit of light history reading is needed. The Wall was not built to keep out white people.

Mongols and Turks are slightly paler than Han Chinese, so maybe you could see it like that

Acquisitions Inc has had a pretty big impact on the game. ....

again NEVER HEARD OF IT. until it was mention in this post. So I think it only had an impact in a select group.
Quick poll
Cheer if you Never Heard of it.
Boo if AC Inc is better than slice bread.
Harrumph if heard of AC inc but you don't care.

I don't know every time I play "the Wall" the rednecks run away from my house!

Thing is, we DO still have a ways to go.

Look at Acquisitions Inc. Sure, it's a fantastic outreach to gamers. You're showing people playing the game and having a blast. Great stuff.

But, at the end of the day it's still five or six white dudes sitting around a table. If the purpose of these programs is to attract new gamers, then a tiny bit of inclusivity would not be remiss. They can't find a woman to play at the table? They can't get Shelly Mazzanoble to sit at the table for a session or three? It's impossible to have a POC sit at the table once in a while? I mean, if this is supposed to be the face of the game, shouldn't we put the best face forward?

Seriously, why is this even an issue? Shouldn't this be assumed by now?

Which is why Force Grey was a better cast. But I digress.

Sure, there are folks who never heard of it. Instead of assuming that because you haven't heard of it, that means it doesn't matter, maybe you should look into it a bit in order to come up with a more informed opinion.
