I'm pretty sure Disco Kid was meant to be a gay stereotype. And what was Bald Bull anyway?

I think King Hippo was supposed to be Samoan, as most Samoans are large, and he was from an island in the South Pacific.

FisfulofPelican, Bald Bull was a dick.

Why, when I first read the title of this article, did I think Chris Antista was behind this...

Though, Brett's right; sterotypes will never get old and I hope to see GR uncover the hidden racism behind seemingly innocent games for years to come.

wow suprised there isnt an english stereotype in there somewhere lol
and also YOUR WRONG! polar bears are the largest land based carnivore not bengal tigers. plus siberian tigers are way bigger than bengals.

Man, I love these stories. You don't find articles like these in magazines. I'd love to join a site like GamesRader someday and really discuss gaming pop culture, not just write previews and reviews.

It's interesting to see that the Japanese developer preferred to portray the militaristic German from the period when Japan fought Germany (WW1) instead of the period when they were allied...

PS: Seriously reCAPTCHA? Klansman?

For some reason I want a Scottish or Swedish stereotype in there, y'know, just to cover all the bases.

I love the Irish guy.
