Not enough cultural diversity either, far too many Italians shouting MAMA MIA. The series needs more Frenchmen shouting OH MON DIEU. You know, diversity for the sake of diversity.

Makes me think of this classic

None of these characters were created by a white person


that's even more racist



Click HERE and be happy 

There is a character there called the fucking Mii and you can make it however you want (Black,White, Blue, Purple, Fucking Yellow). As a matter of fact I think every character in MK 8 roster represents a stereotype, just use your imagination and you can come up with anyone. For example, Roy Koopa can be seen as a homosexual character. Donkey Kong can be seen as a gigolo (can also be seen as a black guy). Mario can be seen as a underpayed plumber. Rosalina can be seen as a lesbian.

I am tired of these fucking articles and I hope it is a fucking joke article.

I don't believe affirmative action applies in this situation.

Mario <3 Luigi?  Hmm actually why not?  Since the game also lacks incest that would kill two paratroopas with one pow block.



Reviewers like this guy could care less about the racial makeup of Mario kart- they are trying to make a name for themselves and gets clicks

Of course not, its just a really questionable of the relevance of bringing up racial diversity in a kart game about Iltalian brothers and friends with Mushroom people, a Green Dinosaur, Turtles/Koopas, and a Gorilla in the mix.  Wanna bring up the issue?  Post it as an article that's unrelated to a video game review, against the entirity of the Mario franchise or Nintendo itself.

I hate reviews that nitpick like this... Not every game has to include all races... Heck, the fact that Mii's are playable means that all races are included in this game... Just holy fuck these stupid "game journalists", they should either find something legit to whine about or go to Africa, find an elephant, take its penis and shove it up their ass until they do (This goes for all games and not just Mario Kart)

We all know those journalists would write a critique bearing the headline . The lack of average sized caucasian penises in African elephants, shows a lack of racial deversity.
