Ummm...the Prince in Prince of Persia was Persian, right? Or would that somehow fall under the general Indo-European umbrella...dunno.

...Anyway, I think they pick white brunette guys because they're the default covers-all-the-bases hero: not blond, and therefore they can claim to be not being concerned with the ethnicity of the hero, but not black/Asian/Middle Eastern because HOSHIT what happens if the majority of the people who play our games won't identify with him? It's totally a conscious intent to appeal to as many players as possible, whether or not it's actually a reasonable or even interesting choice...

In the most generic sense possible. As in, the game is sort of technically supposed to be Persia, but you would NOT gather that from his design, voice, setting, character, etc.

Well it's better than the blond white guy in white pyjamas from the very first game at least....
