Not enough black main characters

[Xanndovo]

As a black man, I feel like we got the bottom of the barrel here. It's releasing in Black History Month and you seriously only have one black girl as a main character?? Seriously??? They're trying to sneak in racism by detracting the attention to trans rights & I see right through it. Really messed up world we live in

What is the population demographic of native black English people in the UK?
I can't imagine its greater than 1 per 100 citizen.

Frankly its a godsend that even 1 person in the main cast is Native Black,
When there should have been a Chinese main character or someone from India.

1800s says differently

Blacks are 4.2% of the U.K population

The action takes place at the time of the impending goblin uprisings of the 19th century in the Harry Potter universe. Back then, black people were really oppressed. The game should be based on historical facts and not deny your oppression at the time.

I would suggest not digging it that up and not spitting on a good story. There isn't a black character because they dislike them or hate them but because the story doesn't require it. It has nothing to do with American pre-juice about black-people either. In Europe, we do not disrespect black people or look down upon them. We have plenty of those in the universities. So before posting such an offensive thing towards people who actually respect you, you might actually stop and think a bit before doing that and consider the story.

I'm just happy they've got -some- black characters in the game. I'm hoping to see a bunch of racially diverse characters. Wasn't so long back that you wouldn't see a main character that wasn't either 'basic white man with giant muscles' or 'basic white woman with giant boobs' lol.

If they've got a few racially ambiguous or diverse characters in the game I'll call that a win in and of itself.

You gotta remember its playing in the 1800s. Thats all Im saying.

its set in to 1800s what do you think European countries where doing in the 1800s. they where selling slaves. so that is probably why there is none. where is hogwarts? it is in Europe

Don't try to preach intelligence to these people. Their opening statement alone proves they lack critical thinking skills.

Why do you feel entitled to representation in what is essentially European folk lore, sourced from even more European folk lore?

[Feurthan]

This post is like saying "Not enough Asian main characters". Why does race mean so much to you? It's a game. The characters are pixelated.

I hope the one black character has a tendency to steal the other student's broomsticks.

Everyone cries that they aren't the center of the world... I'm an Arab and nothing is representing me in games, only if there's a terrorist or a bad guy, yet we never cry. Grow the Fu*k up!
