  Virtually every movie released nowadays has some sort of passive racial stereotype embodied somewhere within it. It's unfair to single out GTA IV as I can think of many movies where the racial agenda is far more obvious.

  The reason you see a stereotype is because your looking for one, most of the time that stereotype is unintended. You'll find evidence to support any theory if you look hard enough

    Yes, but these ones I'm talking about were fairly obvious to the casual viewer, not ones where you needed to swim through layers and metaphors to find.

    Most of the time the stereotype is unintended? Really Silver? You may want to open up your eyes a little more.

      This is the type of mind conditioning prevalent nowadays sadly. It was just 'a mistake'.

  I pretty much said it in the description but basically I tihnk it's time that the older generations wise up and realise thay it's a game and it doesn't influence the opinions of anyone with a little bit of brain.

  If anything, this game/series would be racist against the entire human race.

  What a stupid way to look at it. In that case GTA games shouldn't exist at all. Because if this view is seen to be accurate, no matter what race the lead character is, others of that race could say the same thing. So unless they have an alien or a robot as the lead character in GTA 5, how can R* win?

  GTA3 - White Fido, Vice City - White Tommy Vercetti, San Andreas - Black C.J, GTA 4 - Eastern European.
  
  It's not like they haven't been balanced over the years is it. We've seen all different races take the lead role. Why does this one have to be different?

  <sub>People need to shut the *bleep* up and move on. Im tired of seeing these people make stupid claims as this game is racists, yet they have no clue on the purpose of the game, or having a hand in making it.
  
  Books Movies and anything else you can find has some sort of racism far more visible than games. GET OVER IT!</sub>

  Its racism in itself by making it look like racism. If he were white it would be ok.

    Agreed. If the main bad guy was anything, but white, lest it be Chinese, black or brown, someone is sure to lash out. There has to be a bad guy in everything, so people who are lashing out need to shut up, sit back, look at their stupidity and kick themselves.
