"I find it interesting that whites always have to describe a black person as black even when it's not important for what's being explained (like in "a fucking nigger almost ran over me with his car" vs. "a fucking idiot almost ran over me with his car")."

Eh? Everyone does that, dumbass. Stop being racist, idiot. Stop acting like Bethesda FFS.

Why not call the race "African"?
"African American" sounds retarded and just asks to be replaced with a NIGGER in the first mod.

PS: Ok so it's actually a bit controversial but i would prefer they didn't use the word "races" to describe different looks and cultural background.
Go back to your socialist nanny state, hippie.

Asian, Hispanic, Caucasian...AFRICAN AMERICAN?!

How the fuck is African American a "race", and how the shit would it fit in a list with Asian and Hispanic?

Wow that is pretty stupid. Should say "BLACK" and Hispanic is not a race. Lol.

Should be White, Mexican, Colored, Indian.


Indian being "Native American".

Mexican being a catch-all term for "Hispanics".


Time to spam the Bethesda boards again.

This PC crap is unacceptable.

We really should have raised a donation long time ago to give bethesda some extra cash for hiring professional writers. The biggest thing that has bothered me during this whole time since fallout 3 fell in their hands is that "we make games that we think are great" attitude. It just doesn't work with complete morons developing a game...

So a game with 50s america styling uses the common terminology in america for black people?

Heavens, how crazy! Bethesda you racist fools.
Well if it was going on 50s AMerica then Hispanics would be classed as caucasians. That only changed in the last 20 years. Equally Asian is a pretty nebulous description of a race. Asia is a fucking big continent and the difference between a Japanese and Pakistani is extremely pronounced.

If you want to get REALLY "immersive" you should take blacks out of the game entirely. Fallout is based in a retro 50s America, so there would be no black people admitted to the vaults. End of story.

Nah. There would be "Whites Only" and "Colored Only" Vaults, with the colored ones being shoddy ramshackle pieces of shit.

The shoddy vaults would be ghoul reservoirs.

An American of African descent shouldn't be referred to as African American?

Exactly, they should be referred to as negro, or nigger. Maybe black, but mostly negro.
