Well I just thought I'd add my teo cents to the discussion. I am black, and the lack of black characters in games actually does make me a little mad. In a game where there are multiple characters to choose from, I see no reason why one of the characters shouldn't be black. Most multiplayer games do have the "token" black character. and for the most part, I'm ok with that. I'd rather play with white main characters than black stereotypes as well. Therefore, games like GTA and True Crime don't appeal to me.
And I know this is kind of off-topic, but Parappa the Rapper was a "black game" that didn't show black people in a stereotypical way (of course the main character was a dog...but I hope you understand where I'm coming from.)
