Are there black people in the future?

If darker skin requires additional maintenance over lighter skin, then yes it is disadvantageous. It may not be much of a problem for some, but it would have some sort of impact.

Yes it might be slightly disadvantageous, but it will only disappear due to natural selection if it is a significant enough effect to hinder the reproductive success and outcome of those who have it compared to people with lighter skin. Even without healthcare in an advanced galaxy spanning society to combat the problems dark skinned people may face I still don't think it would have an impact on the overall population. Society as a whole is far more advanced than when humanity first walked the earth. Life expectancy is much higher and I couldn't imagine a theoretical situation where black people would struggle to maintain the reproductive success as other races in Freelancer.

In fact, I reckon a far more likely scenario for any particular race disappearing in the fl universe would be due to racial discrimination. War, poverty, persecution towards any particular race I would think would be far more likely to have an effect on ethnic dynamics. If it lasted long enough, especially if a government was instrumental behind it there could quite possibly be a great reduction in whatever race it is, in sectors of Sirius.

There are asian people, there are Hispanic people, there are Mediterranean people, all within Freelancer.

Why wouldn't there be black people?

Makes sense.

Actually mathematically there should be only or mostly black people in the future.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)

Is it just me, or does no one RP a black person?

Lyth and I do, is that really it?

I had a bretonian-jamaican IMG char and one of my CR's ancestors were from Burkina Faso.

Assuming there were "black" minorites in the 5 sleeperships just like there are in the originating nations today, the ethnicities would have melted together in 800 years with the large majority of people looking more like the majority back then, and few people still having slightly different appearance. Kinda exactly like you see in the game's NPCs.
