a game only means what you take from it.

the only people who find racist undertones in games are the ones who look for it.

Well the article was clearly a joke, but I think your statement's a cop out. Can't you apply that statement to anything? In fact, I remember during the Obama campaign, there were people who had clearly racist posters and shrugged their shoulders when confronted, saying "I dunno".

i know it was a joke, i read this thread before i posted in it. but i think its true, i mean i've been playing the zelda games for a few years now and i never saw anything racist in it. but you do get people who will jump at the chance to find fault in anything.

maybe you could theoretically apply that statement to anything, but i'm specifically applying it to gaming, LoZ in particular.

also, this guy said the same thing so its clearly not just me who thinks that way..

Blah... I dont think anyone is being racist in zelda.. not unless u looking for that angle in particular. If you think zelda is racist.. what bout street fighter which stereotypes every race possible: the japanese karate guy/sumo guy, the indian yoga guy and the HK bruce lee lookalike..

 

anyway, i know it was a joke, but it is a thoughtful topic for conversation and we're entitled to have our say. :)
