Oh, there's a lot more bad to every race. Caldari are *very* very racist towards the gallente - Look up the faction the 'templis dragonaurs'. They installed Tibus Heth to power in the caldari state. The Caldari state is a combination of Corporate America, Stalinist Russia (With a bit of ****** youth in there), and Corporate Japan. You are born into a corporation (or grown for one in the case of tube children - after the gallente devastation of caldari prime and a large portion of the caldari people, they needed a way to repopulate quickly, so tube kids came into being), The corporation provides your house, your food, your education, the corporation will arrange a marriage for you if you desire one and in general handle you like the worst type of dystopian north korea imaginable. In fact the greatest caldari 'villains' : The Guristas ('bad people') came from two people deciding they'd had enough of the Caldari Navy life - 'Fatal' and 'The Rabbit' (the guristas emblem is a mix of fatals skull and the rabbits ears).
The Gallente tried to genocide the Caldari for basically wanting to pull a quebec and get out of the federation. They're also rather uppity with their 'social freedoms'. Ethnically and Culturally, the gallente are a mix of france, canada and south korea. I'm not entirely up to date on my gallente fluff, but they can be pretty quick to jump into war, do horrific things, and experiment with all sorts of bad stuff.
The Minmatar are prone to gangs and all sorts of other stuff, they're angry as hell at the Amarr and realistically they constitute one of the smallest empires in new eden. One of the biggest issues the minmatar face is the 'rebels' who have some different ideas of how to go things - ones that don't involve democracy. Minmatar are ethnically / culturally a mix of all sorts of tribal societies like the maori, african tribes, Hawaiians, and more I couldn't even begin to name.
The Amarr... well the Amarr are basically the holy roman empire in space, and they're jerks about it. |

They take what they want because its their deity given right and duty to do so.
With that said I had to rally behind minmatar, as they seem to fight for [i]something that matters,[/i ]what had been denied them by their oppressors/owners. Except the Amarr aren't oppressors, I mean unless you consider providing schools and hospitals, food and shelter, oppressing. But I understand you only know what it told to you in Dust, so it makes sense that you would come to this conclusion. But forcing them to live in one area without leaving said area, beating them to your will, and making them do horrible jobs is. Except slaves aren't beaten, and they are not forced to do horrific jobs, it is our duty to take care of them. They can leave and be where they wish as soon as we know they are on the right path. Except that's a total lie. You guys beat them super hard.
Among the nicer amarran families slaves would have been what they were like in the roman empire - an actual legal caste whose owners hold all sorts of important LEGAL obligations to them. Some 'slaves' entered into their position willingly and hold a much higher position in life than if they'd done so otherwise. |
