Well, Ubisoft are on a bit of white male protagonist streak ever since Edward - not counting Adéwalé and Shao Jun, who are DLC protagonists. While it's true that they are also protagonists, they, along with Aveline, don't measure up to Altaïr, Ezio, Connor, Edward, Arno, Shay and perhaps even Haytham in terms of popularity.

There is diversity yes, but since Connor, it has not really seized the spotlight.
