How terrifying, haunting and controversial would an "Auschwitz" game be? Even if it was the beast stealth game ever made I don't think I would have the stomach to play it.

What's the point of having different "clans" of humans in a RPG if there is no difference between them?
I can understand the Elder Scrolls example, but generally I think that it's a form of racist thinking itself to see racism in fantasy games because some fantasy race matches the cultural traits or stereotype of some real life ethnicity.
it's ok to make a picture comparing George Bush to a monkey, but it's racism when you do the same to Obama. That means you are subconsciously making a distinction between black and white people. If you you don't think in a racist way, the skin color of the person whose being compared to an animal shouldn't make any difference.

Games that are bi-racial (other selectable non-black characters) should not be included in this game group.
Games where the player may select or choose from multiple racially diverse characters in the game, should also not be included. Except under the rare circumstance where all the selections are black person(s).
