Video Games On Race!!

After reviewing the video game UFC UNDISPUTED, for a violent fighting game it was rated teen, which for me is bit disturb due to the fact teen violence rate is growing in a very fast pace. To get a better info on this game, i went to gamepro.com which is a site on video games news and reviews on your favorite games. Well, what i noticed on the game were the audience on the background they were all white characters. Also, to market the game better the website promote the game by having the strong black guy fighting against a latin guy and of course having the black guy winning. Watching this made me think the black and white battle has become almost as an amusing for many as to a cock fight!!
During class discussion on wed, i was wondering about if the game creator really intentionally think about of putting the white characters as a majority or is that something they just do unconscious??!! To me is a very scary idea that games creator and the media are purposely trying to exclude the minority!!!
