Vidya games is racist.

The vast majority of developers are white and asian, as are the vast majority of gamers, so naturally, the majority of protagonists end up being white or asian. You pander to your audience, racism has little to do with it.

What I find baffling is all the Japanese games that are full of European/White looking people, with not a Japanese looking character to be found. Does that make the Japanese racist against themselves?

i know, right! I think this is where the "pandering to the audience" part comes into play. White american kids have more money than they know what to do with so they're targeted to spend their money on the games with characters that look like them.
