:wave:As an Horn African I certainly dont see anything Horn African about Zuldazar from my perspective, oh because Africa has a variety of cultures
 Its got 50+ nations
 Each with its own meaning about what it means to be African. So lets lay off the stereotypes its a video game. OK Muchacho

The Viking Elf saunters into the the thread: quaffing her :beer: and gnawing on a :meat_on_bone:, she watches all this ‘cultural stuff’ with interest

There’s plenty of Latino culture in WoW. There’s Don Carlos’ Famous Hat and
 uh
 huh, I guess that’s it. Add more, Blizz.

Yes, I know there’s Day of the Dead too, but there isn’t much overall.

You get Gumbo in the westfall area. Might not count though as it’s not a swampland.

I’m Irish and I don’t care if my culture isn’t represented.

And why should I care? Am I so weak in my faith of my culture that in order for me to be proud of my culture it should be on display for everyone to see?

Or be reasonable and understand that despite not everything bending over froggin’ backwards for me, I am still proud of my heritage?

Trolls.

By Latinos, I’m sure you’re referring to Hispanic America.

So they’re mostly a mix of European and native cultures.

The Trolls are the ones with a meso-american influence.

So there, congrats.

Just curious why you think Zandalar is based on African culture? In my opinion, the pyramid looks WAY more Aztec than African. Just my 2 cents. People always need to find something to complain about I guess

I have a fruit hat. :slight_smile: That’s representation right there.

WoW is a game. It is not meant to be a racial, sexual, or political empowerment medium.

A dance that only the males can do doesn’t mean the dreanei species is inspired by Indians.

because it’s called “World of Warcraft” not “World of racial representation” Boy you people sure are getting REALLY freakin pushy with this cultural crap. It’s a fantasy video game
not EARTH!!! You people REALLY need to get a grip
you ruin everything from movies, school, and games. Please freakin STOP!!!

I promise you
we’re exploiting NO cultures. No one is forcing rappers to sing and make millions of dollars while claiming to be “exploited”. You don’t wanna sell your culture? Then don’t do it. It isn’t interesting anyway unless you’re interested in talking about Socialism and Communism and how they lead too turning a wealthy nation into a 3rd world crap hole that can’t even feed its own people.

Why should they? Wow isn’t about cultural marxism
 It’s a video game set in a fantasy. And racial representation should NEVER be a thing in the work place, movie, or a game. It should be the best workers, story tellers, and game makers.

Identity-WOW politics

It’s a thing now.
Someone has to be mad all the time.

For some reason ppl feel the need to emulate reality’s failures and bring them into a video game.

the macarena is a latino dance. human females

saturday night fever dance = human male, made famous by a popular tv and move star, john travolta, who is latino

shakira dance = female troll. shakira is famous latino singer

shakira dance = female draenei. shakira is famous latino singer

:sunglasses:

The Macarena came from Spain. That’s Europe, not Latin America.

Travolta is the son of an ltalian American father and an Irish American mother. There’s nothing “latino” about that.

And this only confirms to me that adding things for the sake of representation it’s a bad idea. The good thing is that at least they only added it because back then, Shakira was, for some reason unknown to me, super popular in the US.

It also ranked at No. 1 on Billboard’s All Time Latin Songs

an italian is a latino. a latino is from latin blood. he’s so latino he’s more latino than some hispanic people, who are spanish blood. hehe. theres just a difference of continents, between an european latino and an american latino, but the same groups are interbreeding on either side of the atlantic.

I’ll tell you what we need. We nees 10.0 to be set in the remnants of ka’resh and have a ton of arabian/persian inspired cyber architecture for the ethereals.

But yea, i think more modern hispanic culture would be fun for wow, maybe as a section in the DMF, new food recipes like rice and red beans with fried pork chops and tostones. Oh damn im hungry now.

Maybe high elves can get this song(dance) xD
Add some latino/lebanese flavor
