why are there so many non human races in the city of baldurs gate

[D-Black Catto]

humans are literally minority in baldurs gate. there are plenty of fringe races like tieflings and even dragonborn on the streets. That was not so in bg1. Back then, even elves and dwarves were relatively rare. Why did demographic change so drastically over the course of 100 years?

Real reason:
Modern politic's.
Ingame reason:
Refugee crisis and we are limted to 2 districts in a vast city.

Baldur's Gate is a port city, it'd be less believable if it didn't gradually shift demographics over time. Especially because it's known, since it's introduction, to be a city that was friendly both to adventurers and rare races.

Yeah that's about it, Wotcs race quota(s). Even with the crisis there still wouldn't be enough teiflings and non-humans to entirely outpace human. MAYBE if we include elves and dwarves in the list as rare races for whatever reason.

I want to say yes, but also considering how big the game is and how much content is involving non human races, they probably didn’t have enough unique assets to create enough unique human characters. A more diverse makeup let’s them get away with slight similarities

Maybe people there live so well, there is so little crime, that they don't need to look for an inner enemy
Personally, I don't like it. if I see a half-orc, drow, tiefling, or git, I'll spit in his face.

that's actually a good point. You really can't put a giant mess of dirty poor refugees in a single place, especially of a minority that would be shunned from leaving the area, and not get quite a bit of underworld crime. Hell, not the least of which the more criminal of criminally minded elements would easily use the refugees desperation for their own ends.

Have you considered writing one of the Grand Dukes with your concerns?

Which is why i said limited to 2 districts.
I imagine it is like kirkwall from dragon age 2.
All the refugee's are shoved into the poor area.
