Has anybody noticed in ME1 how Ashley is concerned about giving Garrus and Wrex full access to the ship's systems? Even though Wrex just stands there and Garrus is fixing the Mako. Meanwhile Tali is in the engine room, an actually important part of the ship. Does she just specifically dislike turians and krogan?

Well, you do have to factor in that Garrus is a turian, and the turians are the only alien race humans have gone to war against (a war that the turians started, btw). Even though there is some cooperation between the Systems Alliance and the Turian Hierarchy by the time of ME, the Codex points out that relations are still cool, at best. It'd be like a Japanese sailor being placed on a US Navy warship in the early 1950s. You'd have to expect some distrust. And on top of the whole turian thing is the fact that Ashley is the granddaughter of General Williams, whose surrender to the turians at Shanxi kind of ruined the family name and severely hampered his descendant's military careers. As for Wrex, he is a krogan bounty hunter and merc who was most recently working for the Shadow Broker, who loves getting as much classified/covert info as possible. Is there any reason she should not be a little wary about him? Tali, on the other hand, is a young quarian girl (early '20s, I believe) who comes from a race that has never given humans any trouble, and who has done nothing suspicious like, say, working for the Shadow Broker.
