It's terrible, but the black/pure Sororitas comment just made me think...

I did it! I passed the physical aptitude tests! I'm gonna be a Sororitas!

But... Lou, you can't be a Sororitas...

What? Why not?! I'm good enough!

Yes, but... you're clearly half asian.

So?! Tsuki got chosen by the Famulous last year!

Tsuki was pure asian. The Sororitas have to be genetically pure. I'm sorry, but you're just too half-caste.

That's a load of Grox-droppings!

Yep. Also, I am your fa-

Give me that.

Aye. A very bizarre retcon.

Actually now that I think about it, Africans are rare, Arabs even rarer (The Tallarn IG are supposed to be Arabian in appearance anyway) but I've never seen a Chinese or Indian character. I know its waaay in the future but you think two billion-strong nations would make a mark.

The Space Sharks are covered in Maori tattoos and they're albino!

Tallarn are meant to be 'Englishmen in Arabia' actually. >>

They're albino because IIRC they are a Raven Guard successor chapter...who are themselves albino.

I get the Desert Rats analogue but they live on a Desert Planet and have Arab names, notably special character Captain Al'Rahem

I know, I know, I was being a little facetious for the fun of it. Still an actual Maori themed SM army might be fun, I'll bank that one.
