So he's mad that in Grand Theft Auto, they made the asian people look asian? Oh no.

He's been so white-washed from living in Vancouver so long he forgets what actual asian people look like, I suppose.


But anyways, I think thats actually a huge load of crap (yes, I read it, not just the part about GTA)

Warcraft 3 is quite racist, just like Tetris. I don't like Tetris' portrayal of blocks.

If you're wondering why KG is uttering such a biting racial slur, it's because he's 'taking it back'!

Lol @ movie references (Clerks II)

Anyway, that thesis sounds like a bunch of garbage. He even admits that he had bias when choosing the titles to talk about, even though he claims that he "tried to be as unbiased as possible." It shouldn't even be paid attention to. GTA series has always been designed to rub people the wrong way, thats what makes it so edgy and cool.
