The Race of Gaming

I posted a thread today commenting on what I percieve to be prejudice/racism in gaming. The point I brought up basically is that developers more than 90% of the time create a white protagonist. Somehow, some way, I'M seen as the racist when its all said and done! I live in New York City and its quite a diverse city as far as race and ethnicity goes.....yet, racism still plays a major role in life here! Now, as far as the posts that people made, there were a few made with views contrary to mine where some points I honestly agreed with!Some people agreed with me almost entirely....Then you have those who were upset at me....and most of them were white....Question is.....how does a white person get upset at a black man for expressing his contempt for racism???:roll: Are you serious???

This all started over a thread about someone being upset at the depiction of a white Chris Redfield killing droves of African looking "zombies". This drew all sorts of racist slander that was pretty ugly, so I tried to come up with a more constructive method to debate the issue....I guess you can say that i failed....:(

I do think that for the most part, the gaming community does at least try to look past the ugly beast called Racism....and thats something we all should appreciate!
