Anderson can say whatever he wants, but the fact of the matter is that humanity now holds 1/4 of galactic power from barley doing anything. Given that politicians are openly running on a \\\"we\\\'ll curb human power\\\" platform, humanity\\\'s influence there is very real. Even if it wasn\\\'t, a ceremonial Council seat is far more than they deserve.
The trope is when a heroic and/or badass character does something great and gets no respect. This is not the case for humanity. They show up, breaking Citadel law, and fight a skirmish with the main military power of Citadel Space but they get saved from being utterly crushed in the nick of time by the asari. They nearly instantly win territorial disputes with long established powers for no reason. They help win one battle and get a Council seat for it when other species had to fight hundred-year wars. This is despite the fact that humanity can\\\'t even defend its own colonies, and so should have no right to be granted similar status to the three galactic super powers, the power of even one of which drastically dwarfs humanity. Nowhere is humanity not given what it deserves; if anything, it\\\'s given way more than it deserves.
This is part of my annoyance with the way this wiki treats the ME humans. It tends to drastically overestimate their power and importance.
