You don't understand the idea of who a Bantu is. In being a Bantu, there is much that is entailed in African society. A Bantu man would be discriminated against by other Africans as an adoo, or "slave" in the native language, becuase historically we were the lower class of African society. Essentially what I am in modern day America. I would not want to be a Bantu in Africa.
Rise of Nations is a poor example because there are other nations in the game that were non-African. The point I was trying to make was that if I played a game which was composed entirely of African peoples, I would not want to choose Bantu (my ancestors) and be discriminated against, I would want to choose what I am and be equal to other Africans. Does that clear it up?
