Well, this thread has taken a turn into some pretty gloomy areas.

I continue to blame Captain Morgan!

This is no different than the "humans are awesome" trope, it still implies humans are inherently unique/special but in another way. One i do not see anymore accurate.
I'd say Mass Effect(after post ME3 writing) would be a more realistic view, in that all races have their faults, no better or worse than the other, just different.

Yeah, but that’s only the case for the purposes of game balance.
In a scenario without those constraints, some races would just be flat-out better. Smarter, more technologically advanced, greater numbers, physically stronger etc.
But ‘better’ just due to humans being special snowflakes is dumb.
Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

A parasite robs a living thing of it's own sustenance to support the parasite.
Earth isn't a living thing. It's a planet - a chunk of dead stone floating in space that happens to have lots of things growing on it. Humans, as a species, by the very definition of the word, are not parasites.
Assholes, definitely. But not parasites.
