Australian Aborigines are the race that is most different from sub-Saharan Africans, so it makes no sense to lump them together.<br />A significant proportion of Australian Aborigines literally can't count up to 10, and can barely count up to 5 (they call 5 "three two"). So you are doing a disservice to "black" people by including Australian Aborigines who are not related in any way to them, but bring down the average if included. Ironically Aborigines are most closely related to Japanese and Koreans (the relationship is very distant though).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890530692790573387.post-67062817296250029812010-05-19T11:10:44.453-07:002010-05-19T11:10:44.453-07:00Hey- here's a thought. I am a teenager and I L...Hey- here's a thought. I am a teenager and I LOVE comic books and video games. I also flatter myself that I am not a racist. <br /><br />Here's the thing. I hate it when designers try to make some sort of character that's black *just* so that they can have a black character that's a good guy. Not like Lando- he had a job to do other than being the black one. Like the black Green Lantern in the comic books. I couldn't stand him- not because he was black -but because he wasn't the Green Lantern. <br /><br />So here's my suggestion. Make a character who is black, who is not constantly whining about being underprivileged, and who has really cool powers! Then EVERYONE will want to play your game/read your comic/whatever, and you will have a cool black character!<br />You can see a bit of this already with Mace Windu from Star Wars. He is a cool character. People like him. They want to imitate him. <br /><br />P.S. The "Negroid" comments were a bit much. I am not a fan of political correctness but please don't be rude.<br /><br />P.P.S. About the basketball thing- not true. Some of the smartest people I know are black.Rona Reagannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890530692790573387.post-10480086660368863732010-01-03T23:28:20.175-08:002010-01-03T23:28:20.175-08:00wow all ya'll some one track minded thinkin ra...wow all ya'll some one track minded thinkin racist mothafuckas damn, sayin we dont have the mind to be able to do things with math, making games, science, technology, an then ur gonna start callin us negroid an shit sayin we're bringing whites down? ? by what? ! ? ! like honestly there are not really any black superhero's besides like what Spawn but not kid friendly i mean everybody on this planet knows that a company will choose a white comic book over a black/mexican/asian comic any day more than 80 percent of the time an another reason ya'll have it is look at what kinda shit African Americans went through for so long ! ! yu act like we've had all our rights since forever the 50's to be honest with yu wasnt that long ago! ! with how much racism that was going on an most of the comics that yu see now were created in the 30's an shit an back then other races weren't trying to imagine a kind of superhero ! !

Many have suggested that games function as crucial gatekeepers for interest in science, technology, engineering and math."<br /><br />But they already got through saying that Latinos play video games more than whites, so if games function as crucial gatekeeprs for interest in science, engineering and math then what does that have to do with the race of the character in the game? Seems like they were trying to make a point contrary to the evidence they themselves were providing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890530692790573387.post-91240223318694552232009-11-17T06:20:17.722-08:002009-11-17T06:20:17.722-08:00The three above comments are right on the money. ...The three above comments are right on the money. Blacks usually do not play games other than sports games, they have great difficulty in shooters or games that involve complex problem solving - look up leroy jenkins.<br /><br />Programing is a pain in the ass, it takes months of code writing working hand in hand with graphic artists and animators and sound techs to get simple movements down, blacks have no such ability to work as a group on these difficult tasks unless a orange ball is involved.<br /><br /> Its not just games but everything else, they whine about a lack of black superheros or black cartoon characters like Cinderella. Never once do they say Im making a character or a hero..they wait for the rest of civilization to create it for them because they are unable.Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890530692790573387.post-46810281044670887452009-11-17T05:54:38.330-08:002009-11-17T05:54:38.330-08:00"Latino children play more video games than w..."Latino children play more video games than white children. And they're really not able to play themselves," Williams said. "For identity formation, that's a problem. And for generating interest in technology, it may place underrepresented groups behind the curve."<br /><br />Kids are able to identify with characters that aren't exactly like themselves so this is hogwash. I also like how the left's solution to every problem always seems involve brainwashing somebody.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890530692790573387.post-51780950074523386542009-11-16T20:00:17.290-08:002009-11-16T20:00:17.290-08:00If one was to disregard the motivation or creativi...If one was to disregard the motivation or creativity issues of negroid man they would come to find another 'Hate Fact'.<br /><br />The video games of today are almost exclusively three dimensional. The spatial understanding required for creating these virtual worlds and characters was not endowed upon negroid man by the DNA gods.<br /><br />Computer programming is essentially just another form of algebraic equations. If a person has trouble with algebra they have no prospect in programming. What about geometry and trigonometry?<br /><br />Perhaps the ultimate 'Hate Fact' is the IQ of negroid man and how it compares to the other races. These psychologists that make excuses blaming everyone but the negroid man for his muddle are not helping anyone.<br /><br />I am neither a psychologist nor have I been compromised by the liberal propaganda that one must endure in a school of psychology. Anyone with half a mind can see that subjecting American (White) children to negroid 'culture' brings the Whites down. Instead, these 'experts' tell us that Whites are bringing negroid man down.<br /><br />Whites acting as stupid as negros does nothing to make negros any better. When will people wake up and see that pretending to be equal to negroid man just makes them stupid. Today, negroid man is keeping the white man down!

I doubt they play much else on average unless it hints of their own culture.<br />They don't relate to Link or other fantasy characters except Sonic or Mario who come off as more mainstream.<br />Most blacks don't care about creating video games. Just give them imagery of themselves. Sports games do just that, reflecting the real life athletes.<br />So I think the VG industry does indeed cater to blacks.mgrubnoreply@blogger.com
