Welp... That sure is something LOL Oh Bowser... I knew you were racist!

Is there any chance this reviewer was joking and just being sarcastic?

Updated the OP with the reviewer's response to the backlash.

I commend him for sticking with his beliefs and original review, even though I fundamentally disagree with it.

Want a different colored person driving the kart? Pick your damn Mii character.

I am 100% sure that they will include Mii characters.  This fuck is bitching about bullshit.  Miis/Avatars/Playstation Home? or whatever the fuck you what to call it make any game racially diverse if the users chooses.

Donkey Kong is in there right? I don't understand the issue.

When I saw this my thoughts were:

This game doesn't have any Canadian characters in it, that's so racist. I'm gonna buy Snowboard Kids instead.

Rosallina is from Space, Mario Bros are Italian, And Wario/Waluigi are obviously Eastern European. 

There are so many turtles, and not a single lizard? That's clearly discrimination, and intentional. Nintendo needs to hire more lizards on staff to prevent this happening again.

Edit: Oh yeah, and Dokey Kong is an immigrant from Africa, and still get's to have romance with the princess! The upward mobility! So progressive!

Make Obama Mii. Problem Solved.

these discrimination nazis are the scum of gaming journalism.. Still haven't forgotten adam sassler's rant in GOW ascension. piss of shit journalists.
