GameRecoil -> -> Carnival Games Was Unintentionally Racist

• 
  

  Carnival Games, a title that was released for the Wii earlier this year, is fun for all of the family. You can play carnival games with your custom avatar. There is, however, one drawback. The avatar must be Caucasian. 

   

  According to the developers of Carnival Games, it was not their original intentions to make all other skin tones unavailable. 2K Play Marketing Director Christina Recchio claims that Carnival Games having only Caucasian faces was simply an oversight and not a racist attack.

   

  The Carnival Games for the DS will be released with a skin tone slider, allowing the player to choose exactly what skin tone they would like their character to be. Also, Carnival Games 2 for the Wii will have a similar option included.

   

  I'm not racist or anything, but I think I'll be glad to see someone OTHER than the creepy, white carnie on the front of the box or during gameplay.
