Racism In Oblivion

[HighCalibreHooch]

With all the shenanagins surrounding the recent ESRB ratings change for hot coffee style nudity mods in Oblivion, I'm surprised that no one in the main-stream media has exploited the 'racism' in the Oblivion.

In non-gamer terms, in Oblivion the player can choose to be either a white character or an africian-american character, but the africian-americian characters are set apart as a different 'race.' Also, the white characters are presented as inherently 'better' than the AA characters in many area (and vice versa). Why hasn't someone emailed Jack Thompson?

African-American is one race, Caucasian is another. I don't see a problem. I often find that the ones who point out racism are racists themselves.

It's also sexist: all the chicks in the game are butt ugly!

African American is not a race.
Its a way to describe someone in PC terms.

Africa is a place. America is a place. And racist people assume the guy with black skin must be an African-american.

Mongloid is a race. Negroid is a race. Caucasoid is a race.

And theres no Africa or America in Cyrodil.

EDIT: DAMN! Once again I took too long responding and got beat by 4 people.
The chicks are not all fuglies. We got some cuties here and there and I made a nord gal who was awefully sweet looking. Took a lot of patience with the editor at the beggining of the game, but it can be done.
