Racist Game?

[Gerald]

I find it insulting for some reason. Why black? Who's idea was this? Maybe they can have monkey president sim next.

Yeah, nothing wrong with African governments. They are angels, not like those pesky South Americans. All of the evil western progaganda about the glorious African leaders can't be trusted. It's really disgusting that these devs fell for it.

Would you have preferred a white leader? Possibly an asian man? You realize that certain countries and even continents are made up primarily of one race right? That almost all non-colonial African leaders happen to be black Africans?


I would hope it wouldnt be racist to have an Iceland simulator be run by a white man avatar.

(Also "for some reason" these people dont even know why they are upset anymore.. they just feel compelled to make a stink about everything)

I seem a connection with a black president and corruption. Am I wrong? Many racists believe Out president is corrupt and destroying this country. He's from Kenya, according to some of these people. He's anti American. I think white people vwill never GET IT!

[Gerald]

Why not just a game with a few options of people including asin, female, white, and latino. There is a slant on the game towards African americans. White people will never GET IT!

Not gonna play, also not gonna shut up :-) Racists need to be called out, otherwise nothing will change.

[Gerald]

Agreed.

I'm sorry if these kinds of things are uncomfortable for you to bear.

I was once like you, saying things like "but it's not really real racism", "but what if someone made a game about white corrupt leaders", "if you don't like it, just ignore it", etc... but I educated myself and once you get to that place, you start to realize... we live in a racist society and a LOT of things are racially motivated without you even realizing it.

In all likelyhood the devs didn't even realize the game could be seen as racist. But there it is.

How is this a counter-argument?

Umm.. I've been called a monkey by certain people (non black). I wouldn't but it past them to enjoy such a game, GET IT?

This is comical. The game is about events in African history and you don't have to be corrupt in the game. It's personal choice and here's a news flash. There have been corrupt leaders in Africa as well as all other countries but this game is about Africa. We can pretend Afirca is some type of paradise that hasn't had these problems but that would be a lie.

Looks like a waster of money anyways.

Only racists see racism here. Why you care that game characters portrayed black? But you do, you see them different, because of their color. You would've shut up if they were white, white is no different (lol), but black, oh no, they're black!
