A No Win Situation

Vanessa E. Jones of the Boston Globe covers some of the criticisms recently leveled at the video game industry on the front of racial representation. One key issue is the lack of diversity, represented by only Caucasian possibilities for characters in Carnival Games. Another is violence against minorities seen in Resident Evil 5. A voice of defense is also represented in the form of Chris Mottes, CEO of Deadline Games.

Though certainly racial representations in video games are important, either due to a slanted point of view or (more likely) limited space, Jones, unfortunately, does not tell the entire story. To help out with that, we've provided links further discussing each of these specific games as well as the full Mottes reaction on the right.

Jones (above) is a writer for the Boston Globe, and her complete authoring history for the paper can be seen here.
