Is this because

You associate Black people primarily with slavery?
You then think it's kinda funny that that's what you think?
You then think it's appropriate to say that in a public forum as if it's a joke?

Why, prey tell, is simply pointing out that Black people were once made slaves and compelled to pick cotton amusing?

Is it because you know think that saying this will aggravate me, that you think the rest of the forum will agree with you, and so it's at my expense?

what's creepy isn't that everyone is white, it's that they all have the same haircut. the lack of faces is kind of creepy too but given the alternative...

Problem is you said 'yes' before so you can't troll on this one now.

The creepy thing is when someone builds a high fantasy world for people the whole world over to play and doesn't give non whites a role to play in it. It hardly compares to the situation you described.

So I guess that makes me what you'd call politically correct. Shall we have a nice democratic vote as to whether or not this means I'm not welcome here and should GTFO?
first off all you don't have to gtfo.I just don't get your point.
1: non white don't fit the setting, just like a white person doesn't fit in a ninja game or an asian in pirate game based in the carribean, a native australian in a colonial america game etc
2: I persume you are non-white and you feel uncomfortable playing a white person.thats kinda fucked up.Thats like I wouldn't play San Andreas because I have to play a black person....
3: Like you said, you play a role in this game.Roleplaying.I guess you never played a dwarf/elf/orc etc?they aren't brown or black as far as I remember.

at least you can play Oblivion, they had blacks guys as a player race.with good stats for swordfighting I think
