Top 5 Racist Videogames - Apr 02, 2008 11:19
I don' t recognize most of them, but it' s good for a chuckle. The lengths people will go to sell a game are amazing

While we' re on the subject. What was the game you thought was most insensitive, stereotypical, or downright racist, and why?

I think the Contra series is incredibly prejudice against invading aliens and it also promotes genocide of alien races.

Resident Evil and their multi-ethnic zombie shooting. First it was Americans, then people in the Antartica. Spanish citizens and upcoming black people.

And let' s not even get into the whole zombie animal killing (which extends, but its not limited to dogs, monkeys, elephants, etc, etc), that' s just as bad!

Resident Evil 5. You shoot black people. You don' t shoot them because they are " zombies" , you shoot them because they are black. This is unlike Resident Evil 4 where you shot people because they were " zombies" , not because they were Spanish.

Protip: Only white people can be racist.

Nintendo is trying to condition us to think that our potential is dictated by skin colour. We should write an angry letter.

That' s what gets to me about racism.

If a group of caucaseans beat the holy crap out of a person of Afro carribean heritage, it is considered racist.

But if it is the other way around, it is just a beating...how the hell does that work?

Pimp my ride....that was just offensive on all levels

Tss, games or no games, every race is gonna think they are better than other races, its just the way we are. *shrug*
But yeah, the whole if a caucasian refers to a black guy as a ' nigger' its racist, if a black guy refers to a white guy as a ' white pig' its justifiable and just an insult.

The difference is that white people don' t complain about it. I don' t know WHY white people don' t complain about it. They should complain about it. The law is written to protect them too.


So, white people, why don' t you complain?? Why don' t you do what other groups do, get organized and demand a change in the status quo?

Seriously. I' m black and I just want to know.

BTW, I mean SANE white people. Not the KKK. Those guys are organized, but the' re not exactly the equivalent of the NAACP.




...why hasn' t anyone made a game where u primarily get to kill KKK members? That would be much more fun than shooting Nazi' s.

The thing I have always found to be an incredibly stupid double-standard is that when a Caucasion person uses the " N" word everyone is up in arms because it' s considered big-time racist, BUT when an African American or Hispanic person uses the same word, it' s almost like a term of an endearment. The same f**king word! I have a better idea, how about whenever that word is used, the person who used it, regardless of ethnicity or race just dies?

Because we don' t give a shit. I think it' s funny when I' m made fun of for being white. It' s like that one episode of the Boondocks about " Nigga moments" . It' s like who cares? I think people that get pissed off about being referred to as a racial slur are morons/pussies/whiny bitches.

I' m personally a fan of racial slurs. This happens to be one of my favorite sites. I' ll just read through it and laugh my ass off.

Oh, also, most white people don' t complain about it because when they do they get in trouble. It' s a wonderful double standard. For example at my high school a couple years after I graduated a group came in to tell seniors about scholarships. The scholarships only applied to minorities. Because of this they kicked all the white kids out of the auditorium for the presentation. Some kids got pissed and said it was racist. The faculty told them their' s nothing racist about it. So the next day a fairly large group of white kids started a petition/club t support a scholarship for white people. Every kid got two eeks of detention and the few kids that started it were suspended because they were being racist. That' s when racism pisses me off, when there is a double standard involved.

White guy knocks out the black guy..

Racist onlookers Cheering him on.. including a Skinhead, the One black guy in the crowd looks on in disarray.

Well, Spanish people are thrown into the Latino/Hispanic group more often than not, and I' ve still gotten in trouble by using the " N" word. It wasn' t like I was serious either

Racism isn' t actually a huge thing in my community, at least not openly.

We' re getting a massive influx of people moving out of the Detroit area, due to the housing market (the worst in the country), and Detroit, being mostly black, is filtering into the suburbs populated by the white community who left the city proper during the riots in the 60s. There are the few racist assholes who put up a fuss, but for most people, there are are bigger problems to deal with than your neighbor' s skin color.

As Chris Rock said
" Whose more racist? Black people or white people...black people cause we hate black people too."

" Eveything white people don' t like about black people, black people really don' t like about black people."

" There' s like a civil war going on with black people and there are two sides. There' s black people...and there' s niggers."

http://youtube.com/watch?v=kpUSElgJcyI

If a white guy had said all that...well you could say that he' d been killed before he ever got off stage.

One of the best things I' ve seen in years. I laughed my ass off

Yeah it' s a dumb topic. It' s stupid to be racist and it' s stupid to be offended by racism. That' s how ***ing dumb the whole thing is.

If someone beats the shit out of you because you have a certain nationality, don' t get revenge because they' re racist, you should get revenge because they beat the shit out of you. Racism doesn' t make an action worse.

I will never be offended by something as insignificant as racism. Infact I don' t allow myself to be offended by anything. Since when did human beings become important enough to be offended? Like George Carlin said " we' re just monkeys with baseball bats" (paraphrased).

I have zero faith in human intelligence, if we we' re truely intelligent we' d have long term plans for our survival. Instead we' re going to be extinct in a few hundred years. It won' t be because of racism either, it will be because human beings are greedy short sighted pigs. That being said I still would never allow a dimwit to divert my thought prccess from whatever to something as brainless as racism. I already know racism is bad, it took me 30 seconds to realize this when I was four.

I resent that, I' ve met some very nice pigs in my time. But I do agree with you on the point that the hooplah surrounding racism is completely stupid. Hopefully, when the world converts to a global economy race simply won' t matter anymore. Then again, people probably thought that everyone would have access to all the knowledge they' d ever need when the printing press was invented.

Edit: I have absolutely no sympathy at all for Chadwarden, not even as a joke. He' s an ass and I hate him.

I would have died a long time ago then.

I don' t mind if white people call me nigger, to be honest. At the end of the day, it' s just a word anyway.

I reckon its unintentional but Cole Train in Gears is pretty stereotypical, kinda reminds me of mikayd. As does the black guy in COD4.

Its like the black rollerskating headband wearing guy in The Thing who goes around saying " Buullshit" all the time, heh. Makes me laugh. Or in Enter the Dragon, the one of the funniest lines " Buullshit Mr Han man!"

Best black character in videogames is possibly Eli Vance in HL2.

Racism is blown out of proportion but that being said i dont agree with people who say the ' N' word can be used freely . I cant beleive people here said calling a person a ' white pig' is the same thing .. I doubt white people were referred to as ' white pigs' when they were brought as salves back in the day ...

There are no limits to what can be said, it just depends on the company and the context.

I had a " black" friend in highschool, and he was called Nigger Tom, most because we would all drop dead laughing when everyone stared at us for calling him that.

But then again, black people arent subject to racism here.

I say it is really is a historical burden.
And not even 50 years ago people were openly racist in the US.
Some of those people are still alive and those affected by it are as well.

I do think characters in games are a bit too stereotypical
sometimes and it gets annoying.

All people are not the same. Stereotypes are not from thin air though.

Profile:
Race: Black
Gender: Male
Age: 35

I used to see this a lot, it was funny

If race, based on my general experience with games, was a game class:
(PSO)
HUmar = Caucasian
HUcast = Black
Fonewurl(Neman Forces) = Asian

I wouldn' t do that myself

Yes I left some out but that is part of the problem.

IMO(Like Marink said) at the end of the day its just a word, why take one insult differently than another? Its like someone could drop the N bomb and someone would flip out, but 5 seconds later someone call them a bitch and its all cool. Doesn' t make a whole lot of since to me.

Finally. I thought no one would ever get around to saying this. History is the key.

Black people' s and white people' s history surrounding " the n word" are completely different. That history can' t be ignored, and it won' t soon be forgotten.

When a white person uses the word it shows a callous disrespect for that history.
When a black person uses the word it' s a symbol on kinship inspired by that same historical context.

As for how a person reacts, that' s individual. Personally I tend to ignore idiots, it' s just easier. Naturally a person who' s more confrontational than myself is going to react differently.


It' s not just black people btw." Nitro-Jew" was generally viewed as funny. I think " Nitro-Kike" would have gotten a different reaction.

Where is that kike anyways? He' s been slacking off lately. Obviously I' m kidding, everyone knows Jews don' t slack off. He must be working hard to acquire more jew gold.

In all seriousness, I had to look up the word to find it' s meaning, people don' t use these words where I live. I agree with what you' re saying Nekkid but who cares? Every insult has history. At the end of the day, it' s like anything else. You can brush it off or knock them out for it. Ah choices.

However if theres a real threat of violence or a situation where a person can be treated unfairly, that' s a different story.

Racial slurs are not the root problem minorities face, trust me. Looking at black people in the US for example. I' d be much more conserned about why blacks on average have a lower economic standing than whites. That' s the real issue. Once a minority obtains power, no one would be able to kick them around. The proof of this is when you look at rich minorities. Do you think anyone would call Will Smith a nigger? Colin Powell? Samuel Jackson?

It' s not about race, it' s about money. It' s allways been about money.
