    The Space Marines in Space Marine 2 are Ultramarines, hailing from Ultramar, which consists of around 500 planets. It’s highly unlikely that the population of these 500 worlds would be entirely white—in fact, it’s almost impossible. Therefore, even if we stick to the lore, it makes sense that there would be Asian, and yes, Black, Ultramarines.

    Furthermore, considering the Imperium of Man is in a state of total war, it’s laughable to criticize the existence of women in positions of authority. You can bet they’re recruiting everyone they can, and—gasp—some of those recruits are going to be women. Some of them will naturally rise through the ranks.

    You can tell these criticisms come from people who don’t actually love the lore but just engage with it to push their xenophobic agenda. It’s ironic that the Imperium of Man a Totalitarian Nightmare is too “progressive” for modern chuds.

    Little Icing on top. The Emperor most likely isnt “white” at least not blonde and blue eyed since he is originally from Anatolia (yes Turky)

      Like, the books and video games have tons of high ranking women in positions of power in the Ecclesiarchy, Inquisition, Astra Militarum, Adeptes Custodes, planetary governors etc.

      Bunch of fake fans, probably don’t even know Commissar Cain’s infamous tryst with Inquisitor Amberley Vail smdh
