Diversity

Believe it or not, the gaming community is actually quite diverse, with a lot of different ethnic groups and a lot of girls who play games, so why are so many video game protagonists tough, white guys? If you think about it, a lot of non-whites are typically the bad guys (Modern Warfare and Uncharted, anyone?) and females are usually stereotypes ("jiggle physics" is not a selling point!!).

Mario, Zelda, COD, Uncharted, God of War, Dead Rising, Red Dead: Redemption, GTA and countless other main gaming franchises follow this formula, and in this day and age, it's just not cool. If developers completely ignore that lot's of females play games, it just makes our industry seem all the more juvenile. If they ignore that not all gamers are whiteys, well that's just plain stupid!
