In case you were wondering, BAME stands for Black, Asian, or Minority Ethnic in the UK.

Why do SJW's have to ruin everything with this forced diversity nonsense? There is literally no reason for Ciri to be anything other than White, she is the daughter of Emhyr var Emreis, who is shown to be white, and through her mother, Pavetta Fionna Elen, she is a 3rd generation descendant of Skellige blood, Skelligens being based on real life Scandinavians.

Why does there need to be a racially diverse main cast in everything, even in series where it doesn't make sense? Can't they just have a few side characters who are minorities? Why is that not good enough, when there are plenty of other series with diverse main casts?

I agree, this literally ruins cannon because the lineage in the Witcher is extremely important. And just making a character black will change the cannon of the game dramatically. The lore, world and continent of the Witcher will be changed, or won't be as detailed. 

 

However if I remember correctly in the books Citi isn't the daughter of emhyr in the books. But still the same issue stands
