lol this reminds of journalists showing concern that starhawk's protagonist is a black man ( in terms of people being mature enough to embrace it ) :

"Graves is also interesting as a character because, in the realm of gaming, he's unique in one major way: he's black. I'm told it wasn't a conscious decision, but Emmett Graves represents a woefully tiny set of black protagonists in games. Add to this his character being tainted by Rift Energy (he survives with careful implants, usually it just mutates you into monsters known as Outcasts), and there's potential for themes about stigma and persecution potentially tossed into Starhawk. Personally, I think that sounds great and I think he's a great looking character, but I'm curious how fans will react when they're placed in the shoes of a minority. Will Graves speak to them? Will they even have the maturity to contemplate this instead of just spewing forth the typical vitriol of an Internet gaming message board?"

personally i think it would be great for more minorities to have roles as main characters but i doubt the trend will change... on a related note my favourite game on the ps2 had a black protagonist ( grand theft auto san andreas )
