Games We Love but Wish We Could Love Playing

I'm sure you all heard about Resident Evil 5 being blamed for racism, right? Due to this, Games Rader has complied a list of six other games that have also been blamed for racism, writing why and whether they are or are not racist. The games range from Hitman 2 to Grand Theft Auto with some surprising ones, Pokemon and Loco Roco. Go to the source to read up on the full details.
The recently released Resident Evil 5 trailer is currently causing a storm of debate across the internet after one critic - a single, solitary person writing on a blog - fingered the game as being racist in its depiction of black people as "inhuman savages" and for the fact that a white man in military clothing is employed to destroy them. It's an interesting opinion, certainly, but one that we happen to think is wrong.
Here we pull out six other games that have been accused of racism in recent years. Read through, follow the links to get a better picture of the overall argument (not just the 'gaming' side of the debate) and decide whether there's any vindication in the accusations aimed at them. When you're done, why not express yourself in the forums.

Seriously, some adults need to get a life.
I've know about the Jynx thing for awhile now. If you actually see her in the new games or the new cartoons you'll see that they've actually changed her skin tone to being purple instead of black (( most likely to avoid the racist comments ))
One day a purple baby will be born and all this will start again *sigh*
There's a chance anybody can be anything. Some of them fit stereotypes and some don't. no point making a big deal over it.
