Regarding Race: Why does it matter what ethnicity Master Chief is? If the "big point" is that people tend to identify more with their own ethnicity/gender/whatever, and so developers type the protagonists to their biggest market demographics, then... I guess I don't see the big deal, or why this would be a surprise. Beyond ethnicity, I'd guess that "ageism" is a bigger offender. Perhaps we should figure out how many octogenarians you get to play in video games. Maybe we could set up a political action group & protest all of the teen/mid-twenties protagonists, because it doesn't really describe the world around us.
Or, maybe, we could find some important things to care about.
Regarding Evil America: It is beyond ridiculous to compare modern America with the regimes of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, et al. IMO Bush has been a lousy President, but to compare him to those butchers is to display a profound ignorance of both modern politics and our recent global history.
Have some Europeans made those kinds of comparisons? That only goes to show that ignorance isn't limited to the Western Hemisphere.
