Hmm? "On his Web site, Chang is unapologetic, and promises that more games ? Hoodopoly, Hiphopopoly, Thugopoly and Redneckopoly ? are coming soon."

"It draws on stereotypes not as a means to degrade, but as a medium to bring together in laughter," Chang maintains, adding, "If we can't laugh at ourselves ... we'll continue to live in blame and bitterness."

I think it's just in good fun.

I didn't find this posted yet, either everyone else has better taste or I missed something. And I didn't post this to start a race war. I seriously think it's just in good fun and wonder if everyone else thinks the same or are offended.

I think it is a great idea, I want to get me one. I want the redneck one too. I still want to get my hometown one...
 
People always need to complain about something, and this is so stereotypical that of course there was going to be an uproar. What is it they say, "any news is good news". I bet the CNN article has resulted in a lot more sales.

Agreed...
 
I always love when people want a game "banned". Exactly who do they think has the authority to ban a game?
 
I can see why minority groups shout out, because it is demeaning to a race.

However I can see his point though. With the usage of comedy that could bring races more together.It's not BS, stand up comedians do it all the time.
