Podcast 25 – Mass Characterization
Part 2 of our Black History Month podcast. I get together with Jeff, Raph, and Marcellus to talk some ish about black characters in games. We go across a wide variety of games and mostly complain about Japanese characterizations. Of course, we get into Native Americans, Asians, and wonder whether or not Abobo is Filipino.

I am impressed by the volumn of MF bombs on your black history month blog. Samuel L. would be proud. And to think Mr. Benja would not curse in college
Ironicaly, I cursed more in high school than college. I figured I should be cleaning up my act and getting my life together…or something like that.
Wait, you didn’t curse in college? I never noticed.
