hi i have a morality/diversity question for dice/ea, being that the time period of world war 1 was extremely xenophobic to the point of near insanity would it be prudent to disregard this glaring section of this time period to encourage diversity of characters and freedom of creation i noticed at the end of the reveal trailer you had an example of this?

i only bring this up because i would like to know if dice/ea encourages a behavior of forgoing complete historical accuracy for the benefit of creating/enticing anti-xenophobic ideals?

and if so would it be immoral to not talk and discuss this in an open format, as discussion and clashes of ideals creates a contrast to your own ideals and thus with having a more plastic thought process create people of justified morality to those who engage with the discussion?  
getting a bit too deep for battlefield chat lol but meh

Okay, I get what you’re saying. But some things need to change to be more futuristic (period accuracy thread). Whatever they decide to do I know it will work. Plus, there was a squad of African American soldiers in WW1 that kicked

while there were squads of african americans fighting for there country bravely and honorably it was still an undeserving time for anyone other than a white male, so it’s more of an ethical question of whether to change to a slightly less accurate portrayal of the past in order to change the way society is with/views people that are different than ourselves to create an equalitarian society. in essence trading a certain creative expression for more of a different creative expression.  
and would it be indignant of dice/ea to not embrace a moral stand point for creative expression and equality to set an example for other companies and people?  
would being indifferent or un-involved with the subject suggest an ineptitude to change and progress?

Yeah I get what you’re saying. I like that they are showing the different races to represent everyone who fought in the war, but if the game becomes a mess of political correctness then yes it would be indignant
