well being that they're "black" they are pepetuating a negative stereotype of a people that already have been blazenly negatively stereotyped for these past centuries.
That kind of sucks things really havn't changed much regarding the positions of human beings. Instead of them being preached bad about in church (where most people went in those days) They are not being talked bad about in games ( where most children are in these days )
I think to superscede racism if we are going to be talking about stereotypes of a negative level we need to focus these stereotypes on the majority of those that are making the product.
If most people are white making this product then they should have white guys running around doing all this horrid stuff. If it were black guys making this project then they should have to make it about black guys doing it. If it were mixed then the ratio of characters could support that mix.
If the stereo-types are positive then it shouldn't matter.
-my little two cents. maybe the president can hear me and create a few laws, or maybe the gaming industry can realize how racist they are and make some inside laws to keep things kosher.

and most hobby computerists at that...
if we didn't "steal" our software.
But now that I am a little older and not a kid anymore I find
it good to pay for my software that I use professionally at least.
But now with the open source community...
things might turn to be a little different. We won't have to call what we
do stealing.
I was hoping that since apple was moving to intel architecture that that would open up the emulator market. I guess not.
