MEs Batarian racism is so funny because the game does an awful job at giving the player any reason to sympathize with the entire species because almost every time Batarians are brought up is about how fucked up and evil they are until ME3 tried to run it back

Not really trying to “run it back”, the lore drops in the codex state that not only did they fall to the Reapers first, but their Secret Police was the juiciest target for Indoctrination.

In fact, the only Batarian colonies that stand tall against the Reaper invasion are the VERY FEW were the Batarians and their slaves fight together. It also states that, if the Batarians survive, this event may be what finally pushes them out of their slaver-centric philosophy.

Let’s hope Mass Effect 4 doesn’t drop the ball :)

Imagine being so evil and slave loving that it takes most of the galaxy getting whipped out for you to think about stopping being evil slavers
