Hey kotaku, Ive got a youtube channel chock full of these short, funny halo reach clips (and other games such as skyrim, and whatever games I play in the future). If you guys enjoy any of them, please subscribe or like them. Thanks =)
This this this this and this. For me, he comes off as an absurdly awkward guy. Nothing wrong with that, and he does make great movies, but to me it brings down the quality of some of his work.
I dont understand where I stated to treat white hicks as non people. Nor where it is implied that Letitia is treated as non people either. My point was that this is simple overreacting of something that isn't remotely racist; they didn't have her sucking on a water melon or talking about chicken or calling the white guy master or imply in any way, shape, or form that she was somehow below the main white character in class,stature, or any other status system. I just absolutely don't see the issue here.
Explain that to me, seriously. I didn't see anything racist about her portrayal. You're telling me somewhere in the United States there isn't a woman of Black descent (or African American, or people of color, or whatever the hell is deemed correct now) who speaks like this?
What if this was some southern white hick? No one would even bat an eyelash. I just don't understand the issue here.
I always feel like if theres an article on kotaku that I thought was in poor taste or honestly making a big deal out of nothing, its not the main kotaku staff. In those cases, skip, read the next one, nothing to see here.
