i think box art designers strive for the sexy badass ninja hero (ehEH! uh, Assassins creed, prototype, ninja gaiden II, Chronicles of Riddick AoDA)...

Not-White People should be labeled "Black people"

because there are countless games listed where there was a sole Asian character

(you have to remember that when dealing with a JP all the characters, unless specifically stated, are gonna be Japanese regardless of hair or eye color[they will most likely define race in appearance with jaw line or body build])

for example:
Last remnant
naruto
persona
tokyo beat down
OneChanbara
xblades
NinjaBlade

I like how in the "Men Holding Weapons" category he had Empire: Total War where the front cover is a man holding the British flag.

Vin declares himself as "definatly a person of colour"

...always looked like a white dude to me but hey.

@darkfly23: LMFAO!
@newton: Have you ever been hit with a british flag before?...it hurts =/...but for that reason, tiger woods and tennis 2009 should be in the weapon category cuz golf clubs and tennis rackets hurt a lot too :P
Also there is a fat guy in the ceville box art.
