You really don't get it and you are starting to offend me so I am just going to drop this conversation. If you can't be bothered to read what I have said then I can't even take you seriously and I definitely don't feel like I have an intelligent conversation with you about a delicate topic like this. I am really appalled by you using ONE genre to define a whole race of people. It is extremely insulting. There are thousands more Black Artists than just "gangsta" rappers and your narrow viewpoint is really disturbing. You can't even answer the questions I posed. You just want to give Epic a pass ... on this. Remember what happened when America gave Hitler a pass and it came back to haunt them. Racism/Prejudice can lead to Genocide as we have seen throughout history and are two things that should never be tolerated no matter how lighthearted it may appear. And again why is it only Epic is doing this when it comes to shooters with supposedly realistic characters ... None of the other big shops are doing this ... NOT ONE. Valve, Crytek, id, Activision, DE, etc. And if the company does not know who to use blacks in a positive way in their story they leave them out and I would rather them do that than marginalize us as Epic does. Anyway might as well move on as this discussion is not going to amount to anything positive in this forum. I have to look at my signature and remember what it says and act accordingly so I am not accused of hypocrisy.
Anuban, don't bother. gregori doesn't finish reading posts. Just read this one.

When you try to reason with him and ask questions, he changes the topic and throws in "FFS" to sound cool.

Back to topic.
I'd have to agree with you, Anuban. Malcolm fits the stereotypical role of a black guy... in fact, all the characters in UT3 are complete stereotypes. Jester (female) wearing body armor... Well
"obviously" her breasts have to jut out! Not very protective if you ask me.
You have your typical biblical character, Bishop. Doom (movie) had one. Crysis had one (Aztec). Prey had one (grandfather).
Othello has to be all muscley and buff, because
"obviously" all black men are obsessed with muscle and leaving their rich parents and being all cool. In the real world, it's all about being "gangsta", which in UT3 universe is called running around with a flak cannon saying "Hell ya! 'Dis iz my kind o' figh'!"
