Racism in video games

For the benefit of Scooter, the human supercomputer, I link to gamepolitics bit on the piece on racism in gaming reported in The Star today.

I find his results questionable, personally. But, this is for general consumption.

The thesis writer admits his own ignorance in the interview. I find it especially disingenuous when he says he hasn't found a single positive example of race in games.

Of course, there are some horrible examples of racism in games. He totally missed Superfly Johnson from Daikatana, for example.

I wonder what he'd think of SMAC. I mean, the Hive was a bit creepy, but the peacekeepers were all nice and ethinically diverse.
