‘It’s-A-Me, Racist,’ Does Super Mario Kart 8 Push White Privilege?

[BamaAla]

What are the advantages? Is he several inches taller?

Too easy, I'll let someone else take it.

Do liberals have to see oppression ​everywhere?

Yes.

Because it helps mask and dilute the real oppression out there.

 

[Feeding the Abscess]

Don't bring race into WAR, xFIP, and wOBA!

I hadn't noticed but I never read the articles on FG; I just swing in to read stats. When did this crap start?

Wendy Thurm and Alex Remington write progressive screeds on a regular basis.

A recent Thurm piece. Remington wrote about how sexism issues are keeping women from playing in MLB. He was rightfully pilloried in the comments.

These people can go jump in a lake. Like another poster said, if they would have added a new black/Hispanic character they would be accused of racism for absurd caricatures. Why in the world are we still talking about race? Seriously, I am so sick of this needless and irrelevant topic.

Incredibly stupid article. I thought it was a joke, but wow, they were REALLY reaching here. Jesus Christ.

They are aware that Mario isn't made by white people, right?

It's a Japanese game for kids. Give me a break already.

 

[aGameOfThrones]

The game also includes Yoshi, a dinosaur; Lakitu, a cloud-riding lizard; Donkey Kong, an ape; and Shy Guy, a masked character of unknown race, color and gender.

Gender neutral?

Liberals won't be happy until Mario becomes 'transgendered' Maria, an atheist, drives a hybrid, and starts dating a disabled biracial illegal immigrant.

And even then, they'll complain about the lack of diversity.

They already are. Yoshi is in love with a transgendered Yoshi named Birdo.

There's plenty of places in the world that Italians are oppressed minorities.

Probably in Italy.

That's not the issue. All races and cultures shall be represented because that's how the natural world operates. LOL

If Nintendo wanted our dimension to be ripped asunder by leftist rage, they should say that Donkey Kong is black, Toad is a lazy Mexican, and Mario and Luigi are actually Jewish which is why they are always after coins. Yoshi is clearly LGBT, since he can lay eggs, likes to be ridden, and can swallow just about anything. Princess is obviously offensive to feminists, since she depends entirely upon men for salvation.

Several inches, in the dong.
