African Americans and the Video Game Industry 646
An anonymous reader writes "African Americans spend more money and time playing video games than whites, yet only 2% of game developers are black. This past week, MTV's Multiplayer blog interviewed five black game industry professionals for their perspective on race in the industry. Intelligent Gamer summarizes and highlights portions of this lengthy series of interviews."

Promote African-American programmers! Save Azeroth!

He has no problem being called black.
He also has no problem walking into bars declaring: "Where are da white wimmen at?". He thinks this (and the whole movie) is hilarious.
Only once did we run into trouble. Some 2nd generation+ born in America African descendants decided he wasn't "African enough". Some native tongue (No clue what it was) and some bouncers quickly ended that.

Fact: anyone who prefaces a statement with "Fact:" sounds like an arrogant jerk, even if they are right.
Any argument is implicitly presented as a truth, stating that it is fact is redundant.
