Not a main character of course, but Barrett was mentioned, so why not her?

Oh, and I thought Samir from Starcraft was Middle-Eastern?

Um yeah he's Indian.  Or didn't the Yoga, Elephants, Taj Mahal, or blinking circle in India tip you off Tongue

Of course he's Indian. You see even *less* Indians in games than you do "black" characters.

And because the Aztecs get no love either...

No shit... really? I grew up on the edge of a Six Nations reserve, I think I know the difference between India Indian and "American Indian." Thanks for the wisdom, though.

You all should really stop making assumptions and confusing the hell out of yourselves. :D

Neither Indians (from India), nor Aztecs (from Mexico), get much love in video games... capiche?

Well, Mayans do get more love in media. It may be that aztecs where disliked by many, that they got a very bad reputation. I am none to judge whether it was deserved or not.

Mad: Well, excuuuuse me, princess.  Roll Eyes
I thought you were saying you also posted him because Aztecs get no love either. I mean, you were still talking about him and then just ended with "And because the Aztecs get no love either..." So I assumed you were still talking about him.
I wasn't like, insulting your integrity or anything, Mr. Garden, if that's how you took it.

And btw, this is a thread for black characters, not "types of people that get no love!"  Stay on topic!

Princess? Kiss And because Aztecs get no love either (dot dot dot), Madgarden posts screenshots from Aztec games. Me, integrity? FEH! Wink

I realize the topic is about black characters, but I'm making a statement about diversity... SO THERE!

Neither, Mustapha from Cadillacs & Dinosaurs (comic book) or Jim from Tom Sawyer (novel), are original video game characters.

But since no one explicitly said they had to be original video game chars I suppose it's... Alright?  Huh?

Squaresoft's Tom Sawyer RPG. Perhaps the most racist representation of a black game character in a mainstream game. Most of it has to do with the export racist images to Japan.
