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

honestly I think it says a great deal that people even care what color characters, in video games are. Are we so ashamed of our past as a group of peoples that we have to scrutinize the games we play to see if we are excluding or singling peoples out.

When portal came out there was a lot of noise over the main character beng female? why does it matter, if you had not been able to see her by means of the portal would anyone have known.

Maybe to make everyone happy and avoid being mobbed by really what should be a non-issue (RE5, especialy when re4 was no problem) maybe we should allow the user to set color/gender of the main character.

 

and having been to asia, there is no stigma there to being racist if you want to call it that. they openly trash being any color even there own. will make fun of you while your with them, and any thing thats difrent from them. it was aquward at first but, after a few weeks i hardly noticed it. well out side of "black mans tooth paste", and similar strangly named products for all colors of people

That was one of my favorite things in Gladius.  The skin color editor.  Valans and Urlan looked badass black.
