Thinking about replaying Mass Effect again, is it better to save or let the council die? Which choice is best for advancing the cause of the galactic working class?

    I hated how the game just kinda assumes you're racist if you let them die. From what I remember, people call you out for doing it, and you don't even get dialogue options to defend yourself.

        My logic was that defeating Sovereign was more important than anything else, so I didn't want to waste ships on saving a few individuals.

        The option I chose was actually called "focus on Sovereign", but I think the consequences are exactly the same as the "let them die" option.

          There could even have been a 4th option for "Save the Destiny, it's the biggest ship in the fleet."

          I chose to save them and I can't recall any consequences for not focusing Sovereign, but that was a decade ago so I might have forgotten.
