A researcher at the University of Saskatchewan claims the lack of characters of color in contemporary video games has an effect similar to that of “everyday” racism.

This idiot does not know about Madden NFL, NBA or Grand Theft Auto?

[al baby]

Lack of Whites in the Congressional Black caucus is daily racism as well

[Pearls Before Swine]

To be fair, the players in Grand Theft Auto are anti-heroes at best. LOL.

But then if a black/Hispanic/Asian/Muzzie were depicted as the bad guys then sit back and watch the hollering.

Of course it’s racist! What isn’t?! Soon we’ll have to take white bread, rice, toothpaste, gum, paint and on and on off the market. Black hair on a white guy? Shave it! Got a black eye? Make up. Black coffee? Not any more. Add 2 creams.

That might be fun if you can shoot them.

Let’s make it clear. Every university has real departments with demanding academic standards and they also have departments that come up with this cr*p.

I demand a square PacMan.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

So are they categorizing all orcs, trolls, zombies, ghosts and other monsters that are in 90% of these video games as white?

I love how folks from the “Whitest Country on the Planet” get to lecture the rest of us about Racism.

[BenLurkin]

Strident liberals don’t live anywhere near the problems which their bone-headed policies create.

[Political Junkie Too]

Really?

And what would they say if someone put out a game where you get to shoot up only black people?

Do a lot of “people of color” live in Saskatchewan? “Corner Gas” does have an Indian character.

[Political Junkie Too]

Yeah, in Call of Duty games, why doesn't Hitler's Arian army have more minorities in it? What about Japan's imperial army?

[Peeps47]

What about gays, trans-gender and other degenerates and freaks?

This Sakeloonie loves racial diversity as long as they don’t live in his neighborhood. Typical virtue-signaling leftist.

So I guess I was a racist back in about 1982 or thereabouts playing Defender or Pac Man or Galaxians or Asteroids or my all time favourite arcade pinball game Gottlieb’s Haunted House?
