African Americans and the Video Game Industry
An anonymous reader writes "African Americans spend more money and time playing video games than whites, yet only 2% of game developers are black. This past week, MTV's Multiplayer blog interviewed five black game industry professionals for their perspective on race in the industry. Intelligent Gamer summarizes and highlights portions of this lengthy series of interviews."
whoa whoa whoa, lets not get to hasty here.... I don't think those weird purple people have EVER made anything decent
I don't know, but there was a Danish documentary on the subject.
Oh, and all lazy persons must be stupid huh? You productivist.
lol: You see no door there!
They'd rather play than develop. Can't say I blame them.

Actually, as a Dane, I'd usually go with "black", or quite a lot more likely, their name. In one specific instance, I'd go with 'aunt', but I know that's cheating, on account of her being my aunt.
I work with a guy that's African. Came to US for college straight from Ghana.
He has no problem being called black.
He also has no problem walking into bars declaring: "Where are da white wimmen at?". He thinks this (and the whole movie) is hilarious.
Only once did we run into trouble. Some 2nd generation+ born in America African descendants decided he wasn't "African enough". Some native tongue (No clue what it was) and some bouncers quickly ended that.
What!
In case of fire, do not use elevator. Use water!
Fact: anyone who prefaces a statement with "Fact:" sounds like an arrogant jerk, even if they are right.
Any argument is implicitly presented as a truth, stating that it is fact is redundant.
