Do you have any insight into what contributed to Far Cry 5 non sequiturs such as leaving out Native Americans (6.5% of MT pop) but including many more African Americans than would ever be present (0.45% of MT population) but fewer Asians than African Americans?

Edit: I'm genuinely curious how these things happen, whether intentionally or compromises due to budgets or time constraints.

I only know one person who worked on Far Cry 5 (the closer, who also worked on The Division 2 with me).

It's unlikely that she'd know, since closers tend to come in near the end, and artistic choices are usually finished long before - but I will ask.

If I had to speculate, and, remembering of course that it is purely speculation: giving people the opportunity to kill native americans might not have gone over well, especially with the rural american aesthetic.
