2K Says Whites-Only Character Options "Wasn't Deliberate"

[The_root_of_all_evil]

O.K. I'll bite.

Representation is, in this sense, a means by which you can duplicate the image on an idea.

Realism is a means by which you can duplicate an image based on reality.

The problem is that Carnival Games; not being set on any set area, automatically responds to Realism but not Representation due to a problem that was spotted after it was on it's way to manufacture; and the comment on it is made by someone who wasn't even employed at the company at the time.
Wiimii's, however, are based on Representation being real, and in fact there's far more Representation than Realism there; given you can take your 'Real' character into Mario Kart, where such things like Caucasian etc. simply don't exist.

Now, I'll take some time to read over your description of ethics before I re-respond, but don't you think it's a little off to bring in a discussion point based on something that cannot be discussed easily on a forum? It seems like a little heavy handed.

Hrrrm...after a cursory look, there seems some disparity here.

Whilst Pike and Harris have similar views on Emic and Etics, both are in disagreement about which fuels the other; similar to what we've seen on the other threads, where people create the original image but then there's the culture that feeds on it and feeds it back to the people

In the same way that smoking has been changed from 'cool' to 'a killer'.

There's also the logical paradox that Pike and Harris are actually part of the same system they say brainwash others. If Malcom X, Mahatma Gandhi, Pike, Harris, Eggo are all able to give evidence on the ability of culture whilst inside it, I should think Root should be at least allowed to have a say.

There's also the problem of resistance to authority where, like Religion, Etics and Emics may be seen or presumed to be seen where there is only cursory evidence.

Let's face it, very few people think that the designers of Carnival Games went out to make a game deliberately to promote the 'Glorious Master Race'. They just forgot.

That's not racism, that's just not having enough coffee. But, a media flare like this gives fuel to the 'Racism' and 'Emic/Etic' fire where there isn't really one there.

Prejudicial action is a conscious act (to ignore evidence); unless I'm very much mistaken, this is just a mistake.

But if you want to rant and rave about Racism, as one of the earlier posters said, I don't have the right to stop you; but I'd ask you save the protesting for some of the idiots in the NF, who actually deserve it.
