The passenger manifest is very diverse with lots of ethnicities, religions and cultures. Because the overall population is small, would it be better to have a culturally mixed population or a more homogenous population (w/ enough genetic variety)?
Arguments could be made in either direction:
Homogenous. Advantage would be a shared culture and religion, comfortable phenotypic variety. Similar beliefs. For a small colony getting started, this could avoid a whole lot of cultural and societal problems.
Varied population. More genetic diversity, ability to collect best talent from several different counties. More interesting. Problem might be future ethnic/religious conflicts as population reaches medium size.
