Woah! :shock:

That's rediculous! A black board is called a black board because it is of the color, black. Well, that's what I thought. Personally, I don't think the creator of the black board, created it specifically to turn to a racial matter.

i had to admit it but stevo is right. in britain if you are racist to a white person nobody cares, but if you're racist to another race then you're in a lot of trouble

You're kidding me. :shock:

Then again, I can see this. When I was in school, I remember sitting on the floor with my legs crossed. We all sat in a circle, and it was called "Indian Style". I think know they call it sitting in the lotus position.

How many schools still have a blackboard? Don't they mostly use whiteboards (markerboards) now (which is not racist)?

What about the following words? Are any of these racist?

Chinese checkers
blackout (electrical), brownout (also electrical), whiteout (blizzard)
whitewash (paint white)

At the grocery stores, they now refer to the aisle with Mexican food as Hispanic food. Since when is the word "Mexican" racist? It refers to someone or something from Mexico.

Political correctness will be the death of our language.
funny thing is, im mexican and i would be more offended at being called hispanic

to me its like a general term for all spanish speaking cultures which is slightly offensive.

Well over here you don't really get many bad things said about mexicans (which i happen to be 3/4) but it's more focused on Indian people and occasionally Black people but anyway back on topic It's not racist it's just how the game is I mean in gta san andreas all the grove street gang are black noone said its racist then.

Rockstar wasn't trying to be racist..they have programming with skins and they probably do what they do with all the games put skin on random people apart from the main characters.  then they'll sort them out

e.g. moonrunners, panzers and riffs.

Riff- all african american
Panzers- mostly if not all african american
moonrunner-Mix of both skin types they put in.

and that's just gangs, there's the civillians and dealers, and I only named three gangs Rockstar in no way was trying to be racist.

Man, Rockstar would be dumb to make themselves look racist.  They keep it real with every game.  The Warriors are no exception.  If you want cleaner games, there is always Nintendo. (which I also like)
