True. The annoying thing is, when someone says something like that in RL, if you then call them on their bull$#!+, they can just quote Kipling's The White Man's Burden at you, and tell you what a good little racist you're being. Haven't seen that in a game (though I haven't played Mass Effect), but if I end up working on a game where it would fit, and have any influence over the writers, I'll try to get that included, just to see how the players' comment on that.

“They planned their campaigns just as you might make a splendid piece of harness. It looks very well; and answers very well; until it gets broken; and then you are done for. Now I made my campaigns of ropes. If anything went wrong, I tied a knot; and went on.”
-- Arthur Wellesley, First Duke of Wellington
