So according to Kotaku, there have been no black people in Street Fighter until now with SF6's Kimberly.

Because you ain't black unless you're African-American. Being Kenyan, Jamaican, Brazilian and British don't count.

Another win for gaming 'jurnalizm' folks!

 

[regawdless]

Imagine being so racist that you're arguing about the legitimacy of the blackness of videogame characters based on their fictional heritage.

Identity and race identity ideology is cancer.

At what point do we stop the African American stuff and just say American? How many hundreds of years have to go by? I don't mean it in an insulting way but if your family hasn't been in Africa for 200 years how are you still African and not just American? I'm second generation born in the states.

My grandparents were from Calabria and nobody goes out of their way to call me Italian American. It just seems odd but whatevs.

 

[Snes nes]

this is the intellectually stimulating articles we need in this day and age. Thank you kotaku.

Omg that one response reveals the inherent and inescapable bigotry of this ideology, of constantly arranging and judging people by sex, gender ID, lifestyle, or shade of brown in this case. When a white supremicist does this, we call a spade a spade. When a woke progressive does it, we give them a promotion.

"Well they're not black, black. You know tarbaby, fresh off the boat from Mother Africa, black." Is basically what he/ they (idk cause Kotaku) is saying.

 

[ManofTwo]

Technically there is difference buts its more wording than anything.

Lol I can see why every other black person in the world hates woke black Americans.

You see the same thing with Asians and Asian Americans. I think the self-centered holier-than-thou attitude is just universally hated, especially when it's usually paired with a high degree of ignorance.

 

[Snes nes]

also isn't it kinda racist to ask for more black people in a game called street fighter? Black people are know for being part of the big mans firing department for crying out loud.

Firstly, as if it's any real surprise that everyone hates everyone. It's normal human behaviour until we earn someones trust. It takes time for cultures to mix and gel and no amount of forcing anything speeds things up. It's inter generational.

Secondly, that Arie Spears bit is up there with the greats.

Do they just pretend Balrog/Bison doesn't exist? Fuck that shitty site

 

[cryptoadam]

What if Balrog was actually trans then SHE would be the first Female African American in Street Fighter.

Lets be honest were this bigoted raycist assholes assuming Balrogs gender all this time?

 

[GreyHorace]

Do they just pretend Balrog/Bison doesn't exist? Fuck that shitty site

And based on one of the most popular boxers of all time at that.

Yeah. Fuck Kotaku.

 

[Vyse]

Can they just shut down Kotaku already? I haven't read them in years.

TheGamer are also awful. No one cares about your race, sexuality or obsessing over Pokemon and stupid, vapid streamers!

He and his credentials must be showed all of the respect that is owed to someone of his credentials as a white man disliked by the FGC.

Black doesn't cover the whole range of ethnic and cultural diversity of black people anymore. We should use spoox instead.

[kiNeMs]

I always assumed balrog was trans. Is this not trans?

 

[A Elbereth Gilthoniel]

In order to paint our past as "racist", and appeal to progressives, SJW types often like to pretend they are breaking new ground.

Lefty tossers : skin colour doesn't matter, we're all equal

I can relate to this. I have relatives in America and they're cool for the most part. But there are assholes amongst Filipino-Americans who don't know shit about what life is like here in the home country and yet have the gall to criticize.

To non Americans that point already exists. The distinction yanks have of one another based on race is completely bloody irrelevant to the fact you're a bunch of bloody Americans.

It's like that Meghan Markle bint marrying Prince Harry. She thinks we hate her because she's black, whereas no Brit gave a shit about that (infact most people I've ever heard mention her race did so to say they thought she was vaguely Mediterranean, with some additional polite interest in her genealogy), what we hate her for is acting like the most stereotypically insufferable American we all feared she would be.

I've met people from all over the world, of all races and dozens of cultures, and whenever Americans come up, no one ever distinguishes thwir race, unless we're talking about how mental yanks are about the subject.

I hate Meghan. The Royal family laid out the red carpet for her and she still shit on them. Fuck that bitch.

Not a few Irish or Scottish or Welsh might or might not feel a distinction between themselves and other "Brits". Every country has it, and Europe is lousy with it. muh Basques muh Sami muh Sicilians muh whatever. America simply made the commercialized, mass-appeal version of Europe's 1920s race-realism.

Well of course. British is not an ethnicity, it's a cultural umbrella created to provide common ground and unity to disparate people to allow them to work together and create a multicultural in group, and avoid bloodshed. It's where the never quite achieved ideals of the United States of America comes from (because basically everything America created was just British stuff rebranded).

British identity has definitely been failing in recent decades of course, replaced by global multiculturalism and secular liberalism, and it's been a fucking disaster, precisely because it doesn't take into account the need to unify people under that shared identity, that stopped the Enhlish, Welsh, Scottish, Irish and Cornish from coming into conflict, unlike how, as you point out, never let up in Europe.

I know some young people here in the Philippines who've bought in the whole globohomo shite. They believe that nations are an outdated concept and we should be part of some sort utopia. I've been tempted to smack them in the head for believing in this crap.

This shit is now in the Philippines now? Oh man. I thought that was one place that was still openly racist without fear.

 

[GreyHorace]

It's mostly among the A and B classes which number among the wealthy and elite. These people share the sentiments as that of US liberals, so expect them to hate leaders like our former president Rodrigo Duterte and the recently elected Bongbong Marcos.

I personally know some of these people and some of them are cool and nice. But there are a lot of them who are just plain insufferable.

Don't worry, we've got plenty of racist attitudes still intact.
