...and whatever doesn't look like me, or presents the world as I prefer to see it, needs to "justify" its inclusion. [b]The only "justification" necessary is that The Traveller picked Guardians based on their ability to wield the Light as a weapon.....and that's it.[/b] So the assumption that this means that everyone who got picked by The Traveller is going to be white, male, heterosexual, and Christian says more about the person making the assumption, than it does about the storytelling. Because simple probabilities would mean that a SHIT TON of Guardians would be coming from OTHER parts of the Human family...and not from what is (in terms of global reality) a MINORITY of the Human population.
