Just another stereotype that I noticed was that when you pull someone out of a car the music playing is different depending on the race. If you pull out a young black person gangster rap is playing or if you pull out an older black man more jazzy funk music is playing. It just really blows my mind that the creators of the game programmed all of this stuff that I talked about in my other posts to create this game. When I played video games before like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater I now look back and see all of the stereotypes that are involved in that game they don't really compare but they are still there. After noticing all of these sorts of things ranging from how my attitude is after I play games, the small things in the games that give certain people an image, or other things. I really don't think I will be able to play a video game the same way besides maybe a sports game or super Nintendo games.
There arent that many white people in the game either and most of the time when you steal a nice car it is a white person in it. I tried to look up the makers of the game and see how people in the making of the game reacted to things like this. Like why would someone let some portray them incorrectly. yes I understand rockstar was trying to make a message about the LA area but at the same time I feel they needed to think of equality.
