Forums - Gaming - Is GTA V Racist?

MikeRox on 26 September 2013

If it's true, it's only producing a more realistic representation of real life.

Even in the UK a black person is more likely to be questioned by police. It's disgusting but in GTA's case, a reflection of real life.

It makes all the black guys talk like idiots so that's a little racist. I don't know many black people but they have only talked like that about 1 out of 5 times. Using the N word all the time is just improper.


Have you listened to Michaels family at all in this game? Black people aren't the only idiots in this game.

its racist in the way it stereotypes the black characters.. but the cops racially profiling franklin? i havent seen anything like that. hell 20 minutes ago i walked onto the airport, up to a plane and stole it without getting a wanted star on him. I switch to trevor and 2 guys are attacking him and the cops are already after him.

If that's what you really think,then you should also think the game is racist against red-necks,corrupt cops,that mexican mafia person,old british people,paparazzi people,the youth generation,the border patrol,etc,etc. All black people don't talk like that,but some of them do. The game pokes fun of alot of different groups,so if you think the game is racist,then you have to think it's racist against everything and everybody. It's just satire,plain and simple.

The cops killed me,while I was playing with trevor. They must hate red-necks. I seem 2 get chased by the cops more as trevor. That article is such BS. If your taking a game that seriously then you have some serious problems. If your trying 2 relate the game to some real life racisim,then you also have some serious problems.

The cops have seemed to aggro sometimes randomly when I play Trevor.  I pulled into some parking lot as Trevor to look at my cellphone and a policeman or guard walks up to the car looking at it and walking around.  After a little bit he just pulls out his gun and shoots me dead in the car.  I don't know if there is actually a gameplay reason for this like it being a stolen car, but it was kind of funny.

If that's true, then that's hilarious.

I can understand the dude about the racism, if played trevor and I have 20 dark skinned people in blue suits chasing me with guns without a reason I would think it maybe has to do with my skin collor, or they want my money /jk

Its called reality. People who come from those kind communities throw that word around often.
