This game is going to be unrealistic.
No one is expecting a historically accurate WW1 game out of Dice, and I don't care. The problem I have is with your very Swedish Tendency.
You give a Swede a racially diverse inch and they will take a mile. Yes, a number of blacks fought during WW1 on both sides. No they did not make up a majority of front line troops as your own gameplay footage and screenshots have clearly shown!
This goes beyond historical inaccuracy. This is Marxist propaganda.
With this petition we have 2 simple requests.
1) Add an option to select your race in multiplayer. If I want to be a Black German then I will choose to be.
2) Research the time period and deliver more historically accurate DLC. We expect French and Russian forces to be added to the game, and we expect accurate representation.
Do I expect Dice to listen? Of course not.
Do I expect people to start questioning why they are not listening? Yes I do.

I am currently compiling a report on these design discrepancies to send directly to the lead developers at Dice. We are documenting every instance of inaccurate character placement to present a clear case for optional settings.

Nobody should be forced to represent race he/she didn't voluntary choose. It is 2016 people must have ability to make choices not bend to arbitrary oppressing rules.
Not buying it now, they played a minor role and accounted to a marginal 1% of troops during the war and their on your front cover? No thanks
People if color made up less than 0.5% of the total service members of axis and allies combined and this game is reflecting an untrue representation of the time period and truth behind the matter.
Speaking as a black man, historical accuracy is important. Representation of fact is more important than representation of feelings in games like these.
I think this petition is a good idea. The fact that France and Russia (the two countries that suffered the highest casualty rate in what remains one of the most destructive conflicts in history) are merely an EA cashbucks afterthought is disgusting. I don't want to play "muh diversity"-field, I want to play a WW1 themed shooter. What makes a game themed is the setting and characters. It wouldn't be Star Wars with Aragorn running around with an M4.
More black soldiers pls
Just give US the option

Forced diversity is ultimately alienation. Give people the option to choose. A game that tributes the lives/sacrifice of millions of people should not be a platform for a modern social statement.
