Anyway, the poll question seems rather obvious. The quarians are shunned everywhere, the Council even deliberately does its darndest to keep them from getting a new homeworld, they are resource strapped, and everybody hates them for having created the geth. Even the krogan are not as much kept down outsiders as the quarians.
And the humans? Embassy mere years after First Contact, and council seat a mere thirty damn years later. Not even that. That's the opposite from "put upon" - the Council does like to use every opportunity to harass the Alliance, it seems, but in the grand scale of things humanity really gets a special, preferred treatment.

I voted Elcor. They just sound so tired of it all.

Humans. If they can accomplish in decades what the lesser races need millennia to do, why aren't they just allowed to run the show?
Besides, the poo-suit chicken men from outer space will take your wife!

Because asari are still better How many asari did it take to save the Destiny Whatever? How many asari took part in the moon landings? How many asari wrote the works of Shakespeare?! A-ha, trick question!

Well, if it hadn't been for the asari, there would never have been a Council to name Shepard Spectre so that he can go against Saren. QED.
Also, Shakespeare is much better in the original Klingon asari elcor!

But... Without the humans working at BioWare, asari would never have even been invented. I refute your argument! XKCD.

But... uh, but... ah... we all know those humans only created Mass Effect to show many lightly clothed asari, right?

You could argue the same with the Twi'leks, Caprica 6, the Drow from D&D.....

Well played, Buch, well played.
And I'm glad someone brought up Twi'leks. Star Wars, though, has a huge case of stereotyping in that whatever the first member of any species is going to be, so too the rest. All Twi'leks are dancers or schemers, all Togruta are Jedi. Etc. To my knowledge, ME doesn't have that problem/pattern....at least not with asari in particular.
