Activision's GUN Misfires With Native Americans

jkdove writes "Gamergod.com has published a news story reporting on the backlash from Activision's western shooter, GUN. From the article: 'In reaction to the content of GUN, the Association for American Indian Development has started a boycott against Activision. They have requested that certain explicit violence and stereotyping be removed from the game ... Ultimately, the Association for American Indian Development simply wants to see the content corrected in respect of the Apache people ... Even though the historical period portrayed in GUN was fraught with racism, Activision's decision to publish a racially stereotyped videogame represents a serious misstep in social responsibility.'"

Seriously- why does everything have to be PC? If you dont like what happened here 300 years ago, then give your land to a native American and move to Europe.
What if there was a game about indians fighting each other? Would that be okay?

When I hear the words ...
