if it's a video game then yes

It really seems to be. And in many cases, the concern is very much warranted. Such a shame.

Problem is our media misses the forest for the trees. CNN will run a story about whether video games are racist on the same weekend a dozen or so black teenagers die from gun violence in Chicago. #OscarsSoWhite will dominate a news cycle while more than 40% of black children grow up in poverty. Like a minority millionaire not getting a gold statue is the real affront to humanity.

Agreed. In that instance, the celebrities involved in the Oscars snub need to step up and do more than just causing a fuss in the media. And people of influence of other races (not just white) need to stand beside them in that. Only by promoting a united front on these issues will there actually be progress made.

The problem is that many of the social programs that are needed to really help to enable people to lift themselves out of poverty (healthcare and education predominantly) involve significant government spending, and are so often dismissed in the US as being "socialist" or "communist", rather than embraced as being humanitarian.

not worthy.

Here's the deal. If you make a racist comment and you get called out just own up to it and say yeah, that was a poopty comment, I shouldn't make jokes like that. Getting all defensive instead is a very common thing to see from someone that is actually racist.

How the hell is asking someone to learn to speak english translate to racism?
