Americans tend to lack this self deprecation.
Obviously you have never seen Louis CK, greatest comic to ever live.
That's why I said 'tend'.

When Americans self deprecate, it's hilarious, but sadly, it's not an occurrence that happens often, especially in the general public.
Although it does depend on what state you live in the United States, many Americans use a lot of self-deprecating humor nowadays especially people who live on the coasts. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and the Colbert Report are two very popular shows on Comedy Central that air 4 nights a week and absolutely thrive on this type of humor.

Let's see my recent library of things I've played:

Mirror's Edge: Eurasian woman, black hair.

Tomb Raider: White woman, crown hair.

LIMBO: Pitch-black boy, pitch-black hair.

The Binding of Issac: White boy, no hair. Unless you play as Magdalene or Eve, then it's blonde/black hair.

Gubble: Purple alien with no hair.

Just Cause 2: Latino-American man with black hair.

Silent Hill 3: White girl, blonde hair.

Myst (any of them): Unidentified.

Rayman: Brown dog-creature with helicopter hair.

To your OP, I say meh. Meh!

Like 90 or so.

The whole white male brown hair thing I've only seen in say...Dead Space 2, but Isaac seems to have more greyish brown than actual brown. Pokemon White doesn't count because you're a 15-16 year old guy.

Commander Shepard doesn't count due to customization.

I can't remember the last game I played as this kind of guy. I virtually hate uncharted to death though.

Op, do you want to know how bad this brown haired white man thing is? Your avatar is a brown haired white man.

Master Chief is a red-head. Just Saiyan.

I don't know or care, I don't really pay attention, I also tend to make my characters brunet in customisable games because I am one and tend to make a bizzaro world version of my self.

That said, my Warden (Dragon Age: Origins) had red hair.

(EDIT: To clarify, I make a caricature of myself with a really pointy chin and/or big ears, who acts similarly to me but has one or two exaggerated ideals.)

Most games that adhere to this stereotype are crap for the most part anyway. Deal with it. =P

Sticking to games I've actually played

Faria (NES) - You are a redhead, and your sex is magically changed by a wizard, I think?
Metroid - Samus is a blonde woman
Primal (PS2) - Jen Tate is a woman...with bewbs
Stretch Panic (PS2) - You are a little girl.
Okami (PS2) - you play as a female shinto sungoddess/wolf
Turok - Most if not all the leads are Native american men/women/teenage boys
Silent Hill 2/3 Blondes (even if one of them really has black hair)
Wolfenstein/Doom - B.J./Sarge is actually blonde looking
Kirby is pink, and fabulous
Skyrim, or any game with character creation - Its up to you. You can be a kitty.
Assassin's Creed - Not a lot of white guys, and the spin off has a girl.
Prince of Persia - same minus the girl part
Koudelka - You play as a gypsy girl
Shadowhearts 1/2 - Russian/Japanese Male
Shadowhearts 3 - Blonde darkskinned Native American female
Siren - All japanese cast of all ages and sexs, with british accents. The remake has a black guy and some white people.
Borderlands - Multiracial/both sexes you decide the hair colors
M.C. Kids (NES) One of the 2 leads is black
Legend of the mystical ninja - Japanese leads, some are robots.
Starfox - Furries
Link is blonde most of the time
Heavenly Sword - redhaired woman
Folklore - Blonde woman
Xenogears - Japanese guy with redhaired alter ego
X-men legends - self-explanitory
FF1 none of the characters are white with brown hair
FF7 Cloud is blonde

More or less avoiding the scores of games where you aren't playing as a human.

Maybe OP should try playing more games...

In quite a few games you don't get to see the characters appearance in detail, such as halo or limbo.
I hate to say it, but an official art piece on Bungie.net reveals that Master Chief also falls under the 'white guy brown hair' category.

Actually since that picture, he has had a new hair cut and dyed it O,O

Ok, you got me there but he was born on a human colony planet called Eridanus II so he isn't that typical... maybe.

Alex Mercer, That guy from Limbo (actually, everyone in Limbo), The kid (bastion), Isaac from TBoI. In fact, every game i have played recently doesn't have a protagonist with brown hair AND white skin.

I win your bet, sir.
Alex Mercer is white with brown hair.

how many games have you played with a non-white and/or non-brown haired human protagonist?

PS: Try to stick to real hair colours. Characters with pink or blue hair, for example, do not count.
Alright,

Mass Effect series - Redhead Femshep
My Saints Row character was black
Skyrim - Blond Nord or Black female darkelf
[Prototype2]
If Lightning was the actual hero of FF13, then her.
Okami - a white wolf
Metroid - Samus is blond and female
Zelda - link is blond
The Darkness - Black hair.
Darksiders - White
Tales of Vesperia - Black

Just to name a few.

We shouldn't judge people solely by their skin (and hair) colour and claim a lack of diversity.

*thumbs up*

EDIT: You spell "color" with a "u"...you're one of THOSE people...

Too many to count, lol.
Link is blonde, Samus is blonde, Ike and everyone else in Fire Emblem has non-brown hair (or they are a boring character that dies quickly), Ryu has black hair, Donkey Kong has brown hair but he's an ape, and the player in Pokemon has black hair or blonde hair I believe.

I think the reason that you think white skinned brown haired men are the dominant characters in games, is because white people have a dominating presence in the world, and brown hair is arguably the most common hair colour in the world.

The term "white," to me, is uniquely American. It does not apply to Europeans who see themselves through the lens of culture. It applies only to American mongrels who have nearly no culture at all.
Wow... I'm white British... It definitely is NOT just an american thing... Skin colour is universal! White Europeans see ourselves as White too... in fact remember the Nazis!? They thought themselves White...!

OT: Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot, Gex, Croc, Rayman, Ty, Kingsley... In fact pretty much any 3D platformer...

Also FF series: Cloud, Zidane, Tidus and Lightning are all against that trait!

False. He has a hoodie, not hair. :p

Though really I dont recall a single scene where he has his hoodie down, so his hair could be any color really.
I'm sure that if you look closely her has brown hair. I've seen he has brown hair in concept art. But I don't think Alex Mercer really counts because... Well the character you play as is a sentient virus and not really a man.

Imagine that eh, people with white skin consider themselves white? He is just a silly kid trying to sound self important.
Ah, that would make more sense... I couldn't tell if it was an attempted Troll or a Waah or something! I like your analysis on it though, and I will concur with that assessment!
