Interesting fact: Daisy was originally Irish, and changed to be a black woman later. I'm not sure why that choice was made. My guess would be that maybe they wanted a prominent character in the game that WASN'T white but I honestly don't know if that's the reason.

Yeah, i was hinting at that, but you know it would have just been "no prominent black people in this game, and the ones that are there are under command of a white leader. Typical."

I think they might have changed it because they didn't want to have two Irish rebel leaders (well, kinda) in both their games. It might have seemed a bit like a rehash, and could have had implications.

Forgive me my ignorance, I don't know about the history of black and Irish people but... Her name is still Fitzroy. Isn't she... still Irish? Or of Irish decent, to the extent that a white Daisy Fitzroy could of been?

Also, Ken Levine says (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwsjALh2vYA) that Daisy exists the way she does for a reason. Black and poor people were at the bottom of the rung in Columbia, it took someone with her kind of experience and resentment to rise up so forcefully. Her race is a part of her character, and maybe he thought her being black better reflected that.

I'm surprised we haven't had feminist wank yet. Oooh! /crosses fingers

/crosses toes

not 100% sure but I think that sometimes slaves took on the last names of their masters, so her having an Irish last name doesn't necessarily mean that she's of Irish descent...just that an Irishman owned one of her ancestors once upon a time.

IIRC that's why Malcolm X changed his last name. He didn't want a last name associated with slave owners.

Though I was aware of this unfortunate bit of history (I think, I can't remember, Scrubber, your nose is bleeding), my question was sort of... could she still be Irish? I mean, within reason? Were the races in this period so segregated socially that a black Irish person would be basically impossible? Then of course, she could be a black person from Ireland and...

This is all a bit stupid I guess. We'll never know.
