Have you ever noticed that always the first to die, or get really hurt, in most games is a black dude? I mean what the $#@& is wrong with the developers. Man, this is really discrimination. For example in halo 3, who dies? sergeant Johnson, a black guy. I consider this unfair. Join me fellow gamers in this quest to abolish discrimination in videogames.

Kill off a mixed variety of races: Muslims, christians, buddhists, blacks whites and chinese in the same way and first. switch it around a little for the love of all that is related to videogames.

Since you're kinda new, I won't flame you [spoiler] ABOUT THE FREAKING HALO 3 SPOILER YOU... [/spoiler] , but I don't think that someone dying first and someone dying last really makes the death any worse. If anything, it's how they lived and died.

This is coming from a mixed with African-dude, if it really matters. :|

Also...since when are Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity races?

Well why can't you just look past their skin colour and see them as characters?

I bet if they were second to die you would still take notice and yell "ZOMG teh rAciZm".

White guys die alot in movies and games too, but no, it's alright for them to die.

So do aliens.

I don't see the aliens calling us Xenophobes.

I am not being racist or anything, but political correctness is BS, white people die in games, as do Black people.

No discrimination there.

There's discrimination in everyday society whether people want to believe it or not, sometimes you just need to ignore it. I'm not saying I agree with it, but if some jerk-offs want to be racist in a form of media, they're degrading themselves, don't let it degrade you.

I agree there isdiscrimination in certain games like Grand Theft Auto, but most games these days I have not noticed any case of this. I actually think that Sgt. Johnson in Halo is a positive role model, since he is strong, courageous, and is a character the player usually would respect. I don't think him dieing in Halo 3 is racist, since others in the series have died before him.

really just no. its part of the story. there is no conspiracy to kill black video game characters. they may have been under represented in the past, but thats really probably due to there being more white game devs than not.

Nope, can't say that I've seen much of a pattern there. Name a couple games besides Halo 3, because nothing comes to mind. I have noticed this in horror movies though. There might be some subconcious racism there.

As for the Halo statement, I thought that guy lived through the first 2 games. Let me guess, your also one of those people who thinks RE5 is going racist because black people are dying. I take the point of those people above me who said that millions of white people have been killed in video games.
If weallow onlywhite people todie in video games, thats also a form of racism! It just propagates that black people are different and should be treated differently. When I'm playing deathmatch and my scope hits on someone's head, it doesn't matter if their red, white yellow, black, or green they all deserve to be headshotted for being against me.

You nailed it. All game developers hate black people, and so, some black people die in video games. Thanks for putting that together for me!

Seriously, try harder. Unless you're living across the world or in the deep south, racism is a rare occurence.

Maybe, but just maybe, and you have to admit that there are some black guys who are pretty cool in the videogames, like Lucky Glauber form Kof series, or that strong guy in Gears of War.

I think you are just looking for the death of black people in games. More white people would die, by a lot.

No, its not, they are zombie's, characters in a Video game, not literal interpretations of Black people.

You killed white people in RE4, but no one said "tEh RaceIsAm, I aM cri nOw"

Heck, even noticeing the characters in RE5 is racist, just see them as computer controlled AI...not people.

Golly I can't stand pollitical correctness.
