By racist i mean that there arent much fps campaign characters that are black, asian, or latino. Cause in the entire trilogy of CoD MW and both BO we dont play any other character than white people Battlefield, Killzone and the modern MoH neither. So why those famous fps never have any other playable character that aint white? In my opinion thats a bit racist, or maybe producers are just to much acraid of doing something that would be considered racist.
Well you are the judges, and remember dont be racist. 
p.s.: I hope i wasnt racist.  |

I'm fairly certain that all the games you listed had their token minority characters. You didn't actually play any of them, if I recall, but they were present. I don't think they're intentionally racist, but simply prey upon the prejudices that are popular at the time of creation, for instance why so many shooter games have Middle Eastern terrorist or communist antagonists. They just go the easiest route, and it just so happens to be really kind of pretty racist. |

The best thing you can do to get rid of racism is stop talking about it. |

Hmm... In one of the missions in BO2, you play as a Yemeni guy.
Also, in MW3 and WAW you have missions where you play as Russians.
So I doubt they are being intentionally racist in their choices. At least in the Moder Warfare games, the main characters are British. Plus, one of them was of hispanic origin, until he was killed off. Also, in the Rainbow Six games you play as a guy of Hispanic origin.
Yeah, some things are stereotypes. Such as Russians who are always drunk and much of what they say doesn't even make sense in Russian (A lot is just screaming with some words thrown in lol) especially when they attack. Though, I don't think they use any more stereotypes than they use in movies. There are just some things you got to let slide. |

So you're saying that this guy isn't one of the main playable characters in Killzone? Because I'm sure he was when I played it. Or did you mean to say he's white? |

update v0.1
i just got killzone 1 recently, and i meant the storline not mp in the other games .
Why are the russians always the bad guys or failling to try to stop their inner terrorist and needing usually he americans help( not always), and the villains never or rarely americans( not trying to be anti-american just trying to be realistic and balanced, i know how much your country is important to you). And in ww2 we know why, but there were divisions of colored mens or asian( in american and european divisions obviously) like the buffalo soldiers and the gurkhas.
p.s.: i think i got of topic topic |
