    The Big Picture: Correctitude

    without a like button, all can do is add to the flood of agreement. Another kind of linked topic is how hollywood and games do portray race and gender and how the attempts at political correctness have stalled. The two sterotypes of successful tightly buttoned down black guy (usually Don...
