Comparably, Ashley isn't even racist

I want to set this straight. Ashley gets too much hate for her views in ME1, Her only view has ever really been that if shit hits the fan, the other aliens won't care about us. I find to be incredibly accurate.

And when she talks to actual human spacists, she condemns their believes

Individually, you can convince aliens to care about you, but overall the aliens in the galaxy all are just looking out for their own species.

Think about all the hoops you have to jump through to get any support from other species of the galaxy in ME3.

aliens say messed up shit about other species. The krogans fantasize about killing turians and salarians. Aliens all treat quarians like they deserve their fate, specific example garrus to tali. Salarians were desperate to stop the cure of the genophage. And then you have the true racist species, batarians.
