It truly saddens me that no matter how far we come as human beings, making great stride to change the world, learning impressive knowledge and to make the world safer for each other, people come up with ways to bring us back down to separating us by stupid divides such as the color of your skin or the believe system that you hold dear. No one should be classified outside features but what they say, do, and how they carry themselves.
Another topic with no way of ending well.

Browsing the internet is one of my favorite time wasters. Whether I spend my time posting on random forums or playing stupid flash games, I tend to come across some crazy things. Most of the time, I look for funny things. Sometimes I'm watching old South Park episodes. Other times I'll find myself looking at YouTube to see what random things have been posted. Lately, I've been browsing other video game websites to see if there have been any new rumors and such that have been posted.
After coming home from work, I was browsing some message boards and came across a message that linked to a video game trailer for some new football game. I kinda looked at the message funny because it was supposed to come out in November. I figured it was a typo since most football games are released in July or August, with the exception of games like Arena Football and Blitz.
Then I watched the trailer.

After a little bit of bewilderment, I began to ask myself how something like this is going to be perceived in the gaming world. Bouncing around some gaming forums, I finally came across this piece over at Destructoid.com.
The comments that follow pretty much sums it up. A series of profanity-laced tirades are rampant, but there are also some half decent points that come up.
This is one of those very touchy subjects that always garners attention, no matter where it's posted, written about, or talked about. However, this shows that the world of gaming isn't immune to this whatsoever. It's a two-way street, and here's your example:
The Village Voice has an article about how a trailer that was released by Capcom shows a white main character shooting black zombies in Resident Evil 5. In the article written by Village Voice, there is a heated argument that pops up in the comments written by users.
So, the question I pose to all of you: Are there truly double standards that seemingly get ignored in the world of gaming or are people just being really stupid and simply trying to find something to argue about?
