He was clearly modelled after a Somali and as we all know, they aren't hard to find in Sweden where the game is being made.
Background:
Battlefield V is a WW2 game developed by DICE in Stockholm.
You can't create your own soldier instead the game randomly chooses a premade character for you out of a selection of developer made characters like this Somali one.
Usually you spawn as cadaan guys. But you occasionally spawn as cadaan women, indhoyars, and Madows like this lady on the left here:
DICE actually started doing this in Battlefield 1 which came out 2 years ago. There weren't any Somalis but there were Indian soldiers and even African Americans in WW1 Europe.
But they have doubled down with BFV and from playing the beta, I can tell you it's a lot less white than BF1 was. BF1 actually made some sense because the British did use colonial subjects like Indians but now in BFV there's Chinese soldiers in Norway!
Naturally, cadaan men haven't been too happy about this but there's nothing they can do about it. Stockholm is our colony and this is an expression of our dominance. They will buy the game and kneel before us.
