What's wrong with being a white male. White males have built and invented the technology that made the modern world. And countries that have been founded and built by whites in North america and western europe are the freest and most liberal countries on the planet.

Whether or not being white is super great is beside the point (and really weird of you to say), the point is that one would like to be able to play as an avatar that represents themself when a game's main character has few or no defining traits.  

I'm totally against this because the whole game suffers because the lead character doesn't have a personality. It's also lazy because the developer doesn't have to create much dialogue for the main character so there is no interaction between the main character and other characters and NPC's. The only way to get around this is to create specific scenario's, cutscenes , dialogue and voice actors for every type of avatar available depending on species, race, gender, height, weight etc. This is practically impossible because the work load of this one game would be like working on multiple games at once.

One of the main reason i am not so hyped for xenoblade chronicles x is because of the customisable, personality free, mute character. Xenoblade chronicles on the hand had a proper protagonist (shulk). Imagine playing metal gear solid as a customisable character instead of solid snake, it would completely ruin the game.
