There's plenty of women voice actor out there that are ethnic was it really that hard to find one or is Ubisoft too lazy to look for one? I mean come on if your gonna comitt to a game do it all the way. It was nice to see a girl in the assassins creed games as the LEAD and one that is ethnic but could we get the actors to go with it? They half assed the game and clearly the voice actors as well.

Roger Craig Smith voiced Ezio, and Roger is not Italian. So I don't see what the problem is. Amber did a fantastic job voicing Aveline.

Find me proof he's not Italian or even has it in his veins and the problem is that like I said plenty of females that are not white could have gotten the role to voice her instead of giving it to the same actors over and over. We don't see them often enough and when we do they're cut out of posters or set in the back of them. Oh and she did an awful job at it which is why I went and looked up who voiced her. And I realize this may come off as racist but I'm far from racist. I just think it's bs how they could have gone with someone who fit the role a bit better then a snow white looking girl. Just to name some Kimberly Brooks,T’Keyah Keymah,Crystal Scales,Miss Kittie,Karen Malina White.

You need to listen to Roger's Assassin Den podcasts/interviews with Loomer on youtube. Roger explains everything about his role as Ezio.

Amber Goldfarb has been playing various roles in AC games since AC2, it's not weird at all that they cast her in the lead. Just be happy they created a black female lead character and stop whining about stupid SJW issues for two seconds of your life, you lame SJW geek.

And anyway Aveline is only half black. =P
