"rk - don't forget about the dumb white girl, or the racist white guy, or the black actor who just wants to portray someone who isn't a criminal, or the white criminal mastermind/mad scientist, or the black guy who is more athletic and/or more socially adept than his white friend, etc."

"ut Cole, I've never thought of him as being an angry black man. He was a sports hero in the world of GoW. When he runs around yelling at his enemies while fighting them, it sounds more like he's having fun, which fits with the idea of him being a sports hero who loves competition. But what's so wrong with the idea of him being angry? EVERYONE in the game is angry. Their entire world is being destroyed, and every last human is fighting for their own survival. If you can't get angry then, when can you get angry?
About RE5, the author states "Now, that's not to say that there are no racist images in the title." He then turns around and points out that if someone was unfamiliar with the setting, they might jump to the conclusions that it was out to demonize black people. If this is true, then the imagery is NOT racist, but is merely misunderstood by those ignorant of the context, and mistakenly thought of as racist.
I don't remember King Hippo being at all "subhuman", or a stereotype of polynesian people. A stereotype of fat people? Sure. But racist? That's a bit of a stretch considering all of the fun little racial stereotypes in the game. RACIAL, not racist. There IS a difference.
About DeeJay - the author says he looks like an "ignorant servant of the white man". WTF? Look at the picture more closely, he is in great shape, he is dressed like a fighter, NOT a slave, and look at that smile. That is NOT the smile of an "ignorant servant". What ignorant servant can afford that kind of dental care? Or take the time to so perfectly groom himself?
As for stereotypes in general, I love them when they are used humorously and NOT hatefully. What better way to disarm racism than by showing how ridiculous these racial stereotypes are? The LEAST racist people I have known were people who happily ridiculed the various racial stereotypes that supposedly represented them and their friends. These people seem more willing to openly discuss and laugh about their own racial differences, and in doing so realize that they are not all that different. The most racist people I know refuse to discuss it, refuse to laugh at stereotypes, and often times run around accusing those who DO discuss it and laugh about as being racist. Why is thi"

"camera switch when driving through a gas station in Burnout annoys me every time. It destroys the flow of the driving, and I actually tend to avoid them when playing Burnout Paradise. I also miss the sound of wind passing by when flying through the air(this was one of my favorite features in Burnout Revenge).
Also, menus are terrible these days. They are clumsily organized, take too long to load, and respond far too s"
