Meanwhile a side quest in red dead redemption says there is nothing worse than White trash and no one cares. Double standards galore. Counterintuitively, "white trash" is actually usually more racist against non-whites than whites (particularly when used by white people). The implication is "behaving like that is supposed to be for those other races, you're supposed to be better than that because you're white," which is very clearly grounded in a stereotype of white supremacy. It's also important to consider context. I'm gonna guess that that's just one character saying that, in which case the game just has a racist character. People don't freak out about racist characters existing in a context that makes it clear that they're racist (for an extreme example, any movie about WWII has Nazis in it, and nobody complains about that). This topic, on the other hand, is talking about games just throwing around racist stereotypes without doing anything to acknowledge that they're a problem. --- This is my signature.
