Why would that be anything at all like a stretch?

Similarly, Indian steampunk isn't that far off either. Given that steampunk is usually Victorian themed, and British, and Britain obviously had a huge presence in India during the Victorian Period.

Nigga this set is Jace going to Chandra's home plane to look for mcguffin mcguffinson because Chandra is still stupid from her lesbian encounter with Nissa and needs to rekindle her flame or something.
Then Jace takes Gideon to his home plane to fuck up the bullies who tormented him when he was young and who now control the aether ring network.

It's not half-nappy headed black people diverse.

There are shitloads of minor ethnic and cultural groups, but overall India is similar to Europe. Sure, they all have slightly different facial features, skin tones, and cultures, but they all look pretty much the same and ultimately are identifiable as Indian.

Set it in an alt-history Chile where Pinochet retained the Cybersyn programme after the coup, it attracted the attention of US military and tech sector, who volunteered to help expand the programs computational abilities if they could use the country as a test bed for their systems of perfect social control. Flash forward a few decades and Chile is ruled with an iron fist by the AI that emerged from Cybersyn, which also covertly controls more of the world's economy than anyone except a few brave cyber punks realise.

I know, but the majority of Indian people you're going to meet in Indian are going to look the same as the ones you'd meet in an Indian community here in America or Britain. Probably darker skinned and poorer though, but still.

I'm not questioning how diverse India can be, but I'm saying on average most people just look "Indian". Similar to how China is also very diverse, but the vast majority of people are Han.

I guess we are all human... but you are basically requiring multiple species to have "diversity."

I have to think that part of it is the ability of the central government to enforce or encourage that sense of Hannishness, or to stipulate what constitutes the Han ethnic group with more of a heavy hand than other countries might. Given fear of balkanization is acutely in the minds of the Chinese from their 1911-1940s recollection.

I mean when Cantonese is literally unintelligble with mandarin in any other part of the world that would constitute a different ethnic group (If we're going off "Spanish vs Portuguese vs Italian" ethnic group rather than "White ethnic group" or "Mediterranean ethnic group"). Likewise the Hui being counted as Han despite being Muslim - yeah their culture is similar, but religiousity has been used to cite a separate ethnicity elsewhere.

It'd only maybe drop the Han from 90% to 75% or somesuch.

It was the Aryans who wrote the Vedas. Aryans spoke and wrote Sanskrit.
Dravidian is a linguistic term not a racial one.
Bhakti is about 2000 years after the Vedas were written so 'hinduism' had existed for a thousand years or more, and the Shivalingam is probably of the Indus Valley civilization that the Aryans exterminated.
Yoga is a little more complicated. The Upanishads and the Aranyakas (forest books) are the first to describe yogic like practices but that renunciation of the flesh is a core Upanishad philosophy.

Squanto Myraceisdead is most likely to actually be mostly white, Rajesh hi dad is most likely working in IT, and Lee Ching is most likely going to have a superiority complex because he was a grade higher in math than everyone else.

>centrism advocates racial and ethnic equality (in terms of legal and social agency, at the very least)
>hyper-centrism in this context would naturally react against motions from the racially-charged hyper-left and hyper-right pushing for racial inequality

I think you're just being adamant about suggesting that the person in question is a hyper-leftist because the original situation was one of specifically anti-black racism, and you only know opposition to anti-black racism to come from the left, whereas in reality the center would be equally opposed to it. the main difference between the left and the center being that the centrist counterpart would ALSO be opposed to the hyper-left's propensity for anti-white racism.
centrists DON'T actually exist to you, because you're hardly ever (if at all) exposed to them, so you don't know what to call them when you actually do see them, and you just revert to the ultra-polarized post-2007 worldview that you (like many others nowadays) are most accustomed to, a worldview that only recognizes the hyper-left and the hyper-right, and does not recognize the moderate-left, moderate-right, or any forms of the center.

South American blacks don't identify as black, they identify as Argentine/Chilean/Huehue/etc. French blacks are bitch pussies but I guess that has more to do with being french.

I've only been mugged twice in my life, both times in the US, both times by Jamal and Tyrone. And I can't help but think it's not that they're black and therefore born that way, but that America really does train it's black population to be shit so that voter blocks and scapegoats are easily administrated or something.

Just saying.

For what I seen they cause trouble only when they form they own ghettoes or have lots of them in the same zone, they chimp down and do lots of damage to propety like it happened in Salou this summer because a stupid one jumped from his house and killed himself trying to flee from the police. Plus in BCN they are only trouble, the Manteros are fucking scum than for some reason are protected be the bleeding heart than is Colau, really I'm not into all that RIght/Left thing, but the far left tends to be scum when they got some power.

I've always wanted to run a napoleonic steampunk airships game. Starting in the prelude or the very early wars with a bunch of privateers, pirates, or just private interests in the Indian Ocean, French and British and unaffiliated interests battling over and machinating for India. Then as the PCs slowly become more important or famous, slowly drifting back towards Europe.
Ideally with a separate French and British group in opposition to each other.

No they wouldn't, the center would be ambivalent because it recognizes that racism exists for a reason.

A centrist knows stereotypes exist for a reason but judges people as individuals.
They will not walk down a ghetto after nightfall but won't deny a competent black woman a STEM job.
They will not media-witch hunt a police officer because he had to kill a dangerous suspect who happened to be black, or think less of thier kids if they turn out to be gay and into someone from another race.

Centrists don't punish whites for being white or praise "pocs" for being minorities, like leftists do. Centrists don't punish minorities for being minorities or praise whites for being white, like right wingers do.

By refusing to accept the possibility of a stereotype being true, specially when the stereotype is doccumented, you're not a centrist. You care more about the concept of opression than about actual societal or legislative unfairness and that makes you a whiny leftist SJW cunt.

>This game that for the last decade or so has built its brand on a diverse multiverse full of varied and exotic locales is showing too much diversity
Even before they realized they shouldn't set their multiverse game solely on Dominaria, Magic built itself on NOT being generic fantasy.
Almost every time someone wants to see a new Magic idea, it's almost entirely in the form of [non-European culture]+[Fantasy subgenre] (or just [Trope world], like Zendikar or Innistrad).
Why would you be surprised when they make their worlds that way? Did people complain that Kamigawa was pandering to inclusive loving liberals because it was Asian? Did people even notice that Ravnica was Eastern European?

Has it occurred to you people that not everyone goes REEEEE over this shit, and that in general making every setting look unique but still identifiable familiar is a marketing strategy designed not to appeal to lefty cucks who think reparations means sucking minority cock and more to appeal to people who want to see new things in the incredibly stagnant genre of fantasy games? And, yeah, that means characters are gonna end up being black or female or whatever, and it means the chick with the name that could only be more Indian if you added an "ackravati" gets made more overtly Indian. It's good business, and makes the brand stronger. Whether or not it appeals to hyperlefties is icing on the cake, but considering Magic seems to be repeatedly one upping itself every year (and is Hasbro's strongest brand, yes, even, last I checked, stronger than D&D), that must be a good demographic to target all the same. But building a strong, iconic brand is not some shadowy cabal trying to take your toys away.
