Grand Theft Auto…racist?
March 8th, 2008I know your thinking “nooooo…that isn’t true!” Yet one eagle eyed blogger has apparently uncovered the truth: GTA is one big ball of racism.
Luckily there are no examples of white racism in there..cause, you know, I’m white and I don’t see racism..
“As blind as white people to racism,” he states in one paragraph, saying it comes to mind in this case.
Click here to read the article. I know..I know i’m just helping send hits to his blog. As a white person that doesn’t see what racism truely is, I can’t help but send people to this elightened and awe inspiring perspective.
Luckily the Grand Theft Auto games are a serious take on society, showing the nuances of inner city life that I can only hope to experiance at some point. I’m playing through Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories right now; I’m helping my Red Neck Gun loving girlfriend take over a racket left by her ex-hubby white trailer trash gang leader that routinely hit her.
…Wait… GTA HAS no examples of white racism. So that must be how all white people are in Florida, right?
Lucky I know this now. Grand Theft Auto has no satire in it (heavy handed or otherwise) and is a clear example of how racist games are.
Thank you nameless blogger..thank you for showing me the way!
