[QUOTE="Wulffolk, post: 7326079, member: 6871450"] On a side note, it is ok if D&D is dominated by caucasian males. There is nothing wrong with that. There are other things that are dominated by other groups of people. D&D would be well-served to diversify and become more inclusive of race, gender, culture, sexual identity and whatever other category comes up. However, just because it is dominated by white males does not mean that it is somehow bad or wrong. I was born as a heterosexual Caucasian male to a middle-class family in the USA. I had no choice in it. Sometimes in this current hyper-politically-correct culture that we live in I feel villified for my origins. Most polls like these tend to insinuate that something dominated by white males is stuck in that past and actively discourages others from being involved. Sometimes, as in the case of D&D, it just happens to appeal to white males more than other groups. D&D and it's community seem to be doing things to encourage diversity, but I doubt that we will ever see a perfectly balanced pie-chart, and that should be OK too. I don't think that it is possible for D&D to become too much more diverse without divorcing it from it's medieval feudal European origins, but then if you do that it won't really be D&D any more.
