| Pristine20 said: This is a pretty good counterarguement. However, it doesn't explain why the devs have no problem with a black lead when the game is called "True Crime" or "Grand Theft Auto". They could have also used thier imaginary friends as leads in such games no? With that said, I don't think the lead characters are as random as you think. Some granted may be random but the vast majority aren't! You really think all those blond hair, blue eyed JRPG leads came at random?

True Crime was based in a predominantly black neighborhood, if I remember right.
Secondly, every Grand Theft Auto (or the majority of them) have various races as both the hero, and bad guy. GTA:SA's PC was black, IV was Eastern European, VC was italian (atleast it seemed like it), and so on. Many games that take place in some sort of reality use "context" for realism...
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
