[quote=@TheMoatedGrange] Well, Mary-Louise herself is probably the most liberal member of her family, and living in Seattle (and travelling all over the world - especially to the Far East!) means that she is probably more exposed to different cultures and races than most people back home in Wilmington. So she is probably not actively racist. BUT, she has been raised in a typical, relatively well-off WASP household, and growing up she would have went to a segregated high school and had family staff who were all African-Americans. So her upbringing is inevitably going to color her relations with people of other races. Julian's status as a war veteran, however, would likely be thought-provoking for her. [/quote] I can dig it. Worth asking considering the time period and her place of birth. I imagine it'd be interesting for Mary-Louise to engage with Julian, as you said, military history seems to relate them both together one way or another. [quote=@POOHEAD189] While it was still prominent in the south, it was by no means a rule that people were prejudice against others. My father is a baptist minister, and he was born in 58'. He's never liked the idea of racism, and I don't believe my grandparents did either (we live in Alabama btw, though a lot of my family is in florida). Though yes, it could almost be a cultural thing to where you get used to having to deal with racists. Even I have, a little bit. I was born in 91' btw. Guess it helps I have a lot of native american ancestry. [/quote] Absolutely. I asked since, as I mentioned, my great-grandfather was a Southern Baptist preacher in Georgia. He was born in the '20s, originally in Germany, and held beliefs not uncommon of the times in terms of race. I felt it worth asking, after all, this game takes place 15 years after Brown v. Board of Education, 4 years after MLK Jr's assassination, and the same decade as the Civil Rights Movement. Racial prejudice is factor in these times and it seemed worth inquiring as to whether this was something [@TheMoatedGrange] intended to explore IC. Undoubtedly, it would make a lot of sense and create great potential for character interaction. Anyway, the question was purely in regards to IC, and frankly neither of our personal lineages should come into play -- that is to say, it's fictional, so no need for either of us to be offended, aye?
