Why do 99% of videogames pander to white (especially American) audiences?

Assassinscreed is the best selling new IP this generation and guess what? The main character is Arab! PoP series main character is Iranian.

Altair is only technically Arab. He looks white and you can barely even discern his features with the hood he has on. PoP is a similar case scenario. Also Persia is only technically Iran. Do you really think the PoP series would be as popular if it was called Prince of Iran?

 

 

Ok, these excuses are pretty pathetic. What about new game Afro-samurai? I don't think Prince of persia or Altair looks like whites. You will find these types people in Arab countries and especially Iran.

Iranians are indo-europeans, "whites", not arabs. Turks and Kurds are indo-europeans too.  And at the times depicted in the game Seljuq Turks had already seized power in sunni Islam for more than a century, while Saladin was a kurd. So it's quite difficult to define a unique race in crossroads of different civilizations as it already was Palestine.

While most of the first christian communities started inside emigrant jew communities and starting from them spread across the world, so it's quite difficult for a white christian to rule off the possibility of being of remote jew ancestry.

"Pure races" exist only in very isolated communities, like Ainu, Pygmies, isolated tribes in virgin forests, etc.
