Portraying Race Relations in Games
GamerNode's Dan Crabtree writes:
"Arguments about racism in any media form suck. One person is offended, and then the offender defends their right to offend while fending off offense from other offenders. That's not at all what I'm talking about. This is not a piece meant to incite feelings of anger about racists or races, but rather a look at the complex issue of racism as it pertains to video games. To be clearer, it's also not about online multiplayer experiences where racial slurs are tossed about as casually as frags. This is about the products that developers create, and what can be learned about race and identity from them. Disclaimer over."
