Everyone who thinks that this is "no big deal" needs to wake up to the real world. There is plenty of racism out there, and all of these little things add up after awhile. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a single game in which black people are portrayed in a positive light. Most games don't even have black characters. The few games I have played with black characters, like Guitar Hero and SSX Tricky, have pretty stereotypical black characters.

Although to be fair, all the characters in those two games are pretty stereotypical.

Not true at all. Off the top of my head, what about in HL2 the black scientist and his daughter that helps out.

Yeah, Eli Vance is a good guy.  Too bad he had to have his brains sucked out by an advisor though...
