Why are most of 'unplugged's' American
(Let me start by saying this is just a queery not some sort of racist questions.)
OK so from the way i understand it The Matrix encompassas the whole world right? All the continents, countries, everyting, because the machines took over. What i cant understnd is why are nearly every Zion resident American. You dont see one British, Australian, French or German person in or out the Matrix. OK so fair enough there are plenty of Asian people about with shaved heads, but why no Europeans??????
(Like i said im not racist i was just wondering)

Actually, with the rebels out in the field, fair enough, but the Council appeared to be a diverse representation of cultures.

yeah, i'm missing what you're seeing. in zion i saw people from every possible continent. especially when they all confront neo by the elevator.
whaddya mean no europeans? how could you tell, unless you heard each and every person's accent that was in zion? or do you just mean white people? in that case, i think zion represented a fair proportion of the world by having minorities as the majority.
and i don't think nationalities count as races, so don't worry about being racist. unless you did mean "white people" when you said "french, german, etc."

well in that case how would, the budda like people that greet Neo outside the lift get there as well? Besides you never see them inside the matrix running up walls jumping over buildings or whatever.

Well I did see many diverse people when they confronted Neo by the elevator, and anyways it seems that the people of Zion don't really consider the race issue since well we are all human and we are fighting the machines let us stick together as one. Also Stovenutts love your avatar, Agent Moostafah SP?

Honestly I dont see what people have against French people just because they did'nt want to go blow up some camel riders in Iraq, please dont talk about foreign nationalities like that its inpolite. After all if it were'nt for the French we would'nt have won the American Revolutino.

Yeah but would they have known that we would have saved their asses? Also if it were'nt for the French then the Americans would'nt be so American either, you can only accomplish something like WWII or the destruction of the machines with unity, and that is what America, Britan and the French did along with 40 other countries...also about surrendering would you surrender to your destruction and the destruction of your people? I mean come on France is the most rich in the art and etc. they would give all that up to the Germans just because they would fight on a meanigless battle? Would you rather die or surrender? C'mon please dont listen to the media its all propaganda just make a common sense hypothesis in anything you do, just dont always listen to your superiors. Also its not a very good position to be in if the U.N. (which we created) does'nt go along with our foolish actions.
