I did think about that when I heard her talk for the first time. I'll say that.

On a side note, my brother now randomly says, "Welll Sheeeiittt!!" throughout the day. It's hilarious.

i've met, and given money to black and white bums that talk like that. Or similar... I don't analyze bums dialect as that seems to be a waste of time.

And anyways. whose to say, it wasn't a black voice actors decision to talk like that. Maybe the character was black, and they told the voice actor to talk like a bum.(who didn't do a very good job by the way) Now, if the voice was a white person. Maybe it's a bit more offensive.

but really. LOL you should listen to the whole first game to the chinese people. They are way worse.

There are some black people in the game, and in the original that are in really really high positions. And there are also dumb white bums in the game. And dumb chinese bums. Black, white and asian prostitutes.

The game is amazing though. Regardless of the sometimes poor VA, and bad animation. :D

Ive watched the trailer myself and as a Black dude I didnt find anything offensive about it... I think its more offending that shes called trash lady...

if you go to the South thats how most people( not just blacks) speak


Being from the deep south, I can tell you that no one currently uses the dialect that Letitia uses. Saying that any American speaks like this character is like saying there are still Americans that use Elizabethan English in 2011. It's not racist it's just ignorant. 



Well of Course its Ignorant, most Black video game Chracters are portrayed in bad style or stereotype's ...I Mean Ralus from FF12 is the only Black character off the top of my head that had non stereotype backround. What Im saying is I seriously dont they are intending to be racist or purposely ignorant. This Dialect still exist .. not as bad as it use to.

Hilarious voice. But, a character is a character. It's not racist at all, they just tried too hard. Also, if the character were white, you wouldn't hear much criticism necessarily. 



All of this, of course, is just my opinion.
