It Nintendo offers a black Luigi with a fro, I'd pay to download it.

You're right, that kind of thing IS stupid. But what about arbitrarily making established-as-white characters black, just because (ie just so they can say they have a black character), like Nick Fury, or The Kingpin, or Harvey Dent in Tim Burton's Batman movies? Or casting a Mexican Jessica Alba to play Susan Storm, as if there was ANY shortage of white, blonde, blue-eyed actresses out there? People would be up in arms if they cast a white guy as Blade, or Falcon, or any other non-white character. But news comes out they've cast a black guy as Johnny Storm (the Human Torch) in the FF reboot? Almost no one blinks an eye. "White Priviledge" is one thing, but let's not also forget the silly "White Guilt" concept. And I say this as someone who is both part "white" and part "non-white".

How about they just cast characters to be the race that the characters actually are, and call it a day? It's called being true to the source material.

And as for this criticism of Mario Kart? Yeah, it is, in point of fact, as silly and petty and stupid as it sounds. lol

Goomba is yellow and Donkey Kong could be considered black....racial diversity confirmed.

Really don't see why people say this.

Mario and Luigi are the only two actual humans in the game, they're both brothers.

Nicky Fury is an exception. They're using Ultimate Universe Fury. He is black and was intentioanlly designed to look like Sam jackson.
