Video Game Minority Report

A recent study has concluded that video games are racist. A professor at USC Annenberg School for Communication supposedly studied the top 150 games in a year and found a lack of minorities in the games. No word on whether aliens, mushrooms, plumbers, cyborgs and monsters are being unfairly depicted.

The first comprehensive survey of video game characters, encompassing the top 150 games in a year across nine platforms and all rating levels, and weighted by each title's popularity, shows that the video game industry does no better than television in representing American society. In some cases, video games do worse.
