No shit. And out of that world, the original story took place in a relatively small chunk of one continent. On said continent we saw what was primarily a Euro-centric cross section of phenotypes.

That ranks right up there with a D&D DM trying to shoehorn the new player's weeb ninja assassin into a current campaign that takes place in Greyhawk.
