I'm vaguelly... not offended, but vexed by the developers comments that making her black instantly gave her more flavour (fair enough, but-) moreso that they think people will be intrigued by a black woman with a russian name. I know Human Revolution isn't set very far in the future, in fact by 2020 when I'm posting this she'd already be 18 or 19, only 7 years before HR takes place, but it's still a futuristic sci-fi setting despite being set perhaps not quite far enough in the future for its atmosphere. I'm used to things like the battletech and gundam universes, where it's rather common for people to have mixed ancestry or through adoption gain a name that doesn't match their ethnicity. I'm nitpicking of course, they're right that it's a nice touch and it's not like they were like "HEY LOOK A BLACK RUSSIAN! AREN'T WE CREATIVE!?"
