Even on the right context, there are certain criticisms that can only be said about white people. Yesterday on Twitter I saw I tweet saying something like "only shitty white males like it". I wonder if we can tweet something like "only shitty black males like it" without being called the police upon. |
This a great way to test if something is racist or sexist. Replace white for any other race. Or put female in for male. If it sounds horrible to you after doing that, the original comment was racist/sexist.

"While I’ll admit that I initially rolled my eyes at yet another Gruff White Male Protagonist™ in a grim world - especially one with such a Gruff White Male Protagonist™-ey name as Deacon St. John." I'm calling bullshit. He's flat out saying he saw a white guy and assumed the worse. Why even mention race and gender? Its not something that would have even crossed my mind. On a side note, Crackdown 3 should get praise from IGN for having a gruff black guy as the lead. But I guess we only attack games for not doing that. |
Exactly. He just saw a white dude and assumed the worst. If the character was any other race, this guy wouldn't have said a thing about that, even though it changes the way the character is represented from ads none whatsoever
