Technically, only Gallente Gallente are french, the Intaki are apparently Indian (as in India). Yeah, I'm a google monkey.

My primary is Intaki - at the time i wanted to be an industrialist and looked up needed attributes: Industry needs high Mem and Int as secondary... Intaki had +4 to Mem - so there i was, a new playwer with very high Mem and Int stats, and... well, 3 in Perception. At the time i only planned to train to fly one ship - Covetor. Since, i've trained enough to fly Carriers, but it was a long path to glory.
About a month later i realized, that my development as a miner what somewhat slow due to not being able to access high-end asteroids in empire and lacking combat proficiency to effectively do... well, anything. So i registered my second account and my Achura alt was born! High every stats except for charisma and hey, that guy wasn't supposed to be liked anyhow - he was there to KEEL people that picked on my miner!
As time went by, there came a need for a fighting character that wasn't so utterly disliked by so many people... so this guy came around. This was carefully calculated in attributes, purchased +5 implants form the get go, EVEMon planned character... that i hope will stick to my 968 days dev plan even though EVEMon is not up to guide him every step of the way.

I thought lazers were cool back in 2003, few years and couple of skill points later I noticed I was wrong.

I started life in EVE as an Amarr. Found the ships to be way to weenie for my likings.
Switched to Caldari for the Steath Bomber, and long distance bombardment.
Tho now I can pick and choose all frigates and crusiers, I still prefer the Caldari ships.

Gallente = Freedom, truth, justice, and the American way lol
I thought that is Caldari (Corporate run society) for the Northern US States and Amarr (Religion run society) for the Southern US States? Unless you are talking about the Canadians being Gallente (They are on the continent of North America and technically Americans)
That's like saying scottish people are technically english.
No it's not (unless England is a continent). It's like saying Scottish people are European, which they are. Canadians are indeed North Americans. People from Chile are South Americans. They are all Americans cause they are from the Americas.
Regarding the subject: This char is an alt of course but I will say this,
-Amarr is the most underrated race in game atm.
-Caldari is the second most underrated race in game atm. (for pvp)
-Gallente is the most overrated race in game.
-Minmatar have ugly ships. (the new ones are cool though)

I chose Minmatarr because I directly identified with their history as the two cultural groups that created me shared similar fates.

I picked Minmatar because I am a speed freak. I would constantly be looking for parts of my ship that I could replace with duck tape so I could lose weight and gain speed. I would store my ammo in Tupperware, replace doors with shower curtains, put lawnchairs on the bridge, anything to shave that last few tons off.
Also, they seem like the kind of people who would head straight for the nearest pub after a fight and sing songs about the glories of battle and fallen comrades while getting completely trashed. Much like the Celts. Or Klingons.

I chose this race becuase my cousin didn't want to play Eve anymore and I was kind enough to take over his account. Oh, and he looked real cool and evil. The whole mouth mask thingy makes him look like he can't stand the stench of everyone else.

I chose Gallente because, despite being french in origin, they seemed very American-like. Democracy, feeling the need to try to police space, and of course advertising freedom as their main ideal. The federation is, essentially, America in space. Other then that, I felt like being whatever race would make the best generic Hero and the Gallente seemed the most noble. Of course, now I know more about their background and it's somewhat more apparent that all four races have their vice.
Amarr: Slavery
Caldari: Greed
Minmater: Wrath
Gallente: Lust, alcohol, drugs, etc.
I find it funny that someone actually associates Americans with heroism and nobility, while labelling another of the races greedy... But I digress, we don't want this turning political, yes? 
Umm... it looks like they are associated with lust, alcohol, drugs, etc. but whatever. He never said that Americans are heroic and noble, he said he wanted to be the race that seemed the most heroic. He said that Americans feel the need to police the world. But I guess I can read and others need glasses

I picked Caldari/Deteis mainly because of the avatar looks. And because the Caldari race pick looked so fascist ... tough dude giving the one thousand yard stare, with infantry squares marching beneath him while some Helga with a big-ass gun is giving you an angry look.
Later as I learned more about the game I also figured that I liked the Caldari focus :
shields feel more advanced than armor
missiles rock
and who doesn't like railguns ?
Main problem was that most ships look like complete crap, but the Caracal, Ferox, Drake and Rokh make up for it.

Because even though amarrians get shrouded in a bad perspective and a lot of them are crazed devotees it is mostly just a front for being universal bad ass' that are going to take what they want. I started out a minmatar because they were the underdogs but at some point I figured I'd pick up the skills to be that badass and lasers with shiney ships just sounded appealing.
Little did I know, I wanted to do more than shoot stuff all the time, now I wish I would of put a little more time into looking at the racial specific ship types and their benefits vs drawbacks.

In my OP, I said I chose Gallente because they reminded me of truth justice and the american way. I was ridiculed 2 posts after by people saying the Gallente are French. That's not the point, the point is the description of the culture is like that of a democratic nation such as america, i am not american, but i still saw it fit to use that as the example.
thank you :)

Indian? Where did you get that from, it says in the lore that many intaki are albino, doesn't sound very indian to me, british perhaps...
Why brutor? I didn't fancy the eggheads much, besides... The future's so bright you gotta wear shades.

Actually, the United States is a Republic. People vote for leaders who make the decisions... a true democracy is what the Athenians had (Ironically they were a pro-slavery culture).

american? lol, they are french bud.
ingame history say they are french decendants. But it is the only true democracy in game, therefore = american way. That also why I choose gallente.
Amar, empire (with an emperor) = not goot
Caldary, military might = happy triger bullies = not good.
Minmatar, well the ships are ugly as hell.
Gallente, democracy = the only choice for me. |

I don't like powergamers, schoolyard bullies and outright military or industrial fascism.
Guess why I'm not Caldari?
I liked the Intaki description. Although I have to admit, little did I know back then. I'd rather be Amarr or Minmatar now, due to the love for speed and/or underdogs.

I was creating my Character soon after my roommate returned from visiting his family in southern France. He said that if I did not choose Gallente I could not have any of the Adelscott or Sausisson he sneaked back.
Needless to say I caved! :)

I chose Minmatar because my friend flew around in Minmatar space. Plus the rifter looked just plain awesome and was the only thing I could afford for the first two weeks I was playing.

Minmatar - Random selection as I knew NOTHING about the game other than it was like Elite. (Started with very gimped stats)
As for any Alt's I might have. My wife designs them all, generally based on looks.
