Re: Probably-white characters you pictured as non-white

[ariakas]

Personally I just assumed James Ramirez (the protagonist of MW2) was Hispanic based on his name alone. It's an FPS, so you never see his face.

Yet when I mentioned this off-hand, a friend of mine was taken aback and insisted that he was white. Had to be. His gloves are shredded at one point and he has pale palms, ergo, he's white. It was like... uhhhh.... that doesn't mean anything... but this dude was actually affronted that I could be so wrong; CoD's never had a non-white protagonist before. Clearly, Ramirez can't be Hispanic. Or something.

This was like... 2011? I was in my late 20s?

Did he not realize white hispanic is a thing?

Re: Probably-white characters you pictured as non-white

[ariakas]

No! He did not. I just... yeah I couldn't even with that.

Later I realized that he was emotionally attached to the idea of being the main character somehow, and I get that, but as a woman I'm used to the idea that it won't quite be me, even if it is me, you know? I can still relate, even if it's not my gender or race.

This was his first time experiencing what I do almost every time I play an FPS, I guess.

All this time I'd assumed Ramirez was actually black, or at least particularly dark-skinned.

Re: Probably-white characters you pictured as non-white

[ariakas]

Could be! It's not like darker-skinned people don't have pale palms too.

Idk I'm not particularly invested in his race, just surprised that my friend was genuinely emotionally invested in the race of a set of hands in a tacticool manshooter.

And starting to realize why they do make them all white, for the most part, even though it really shouldn't fucking matter, you know?
