MTG Salvation

I'm going to preface this with the fact that I am not white. Rather than agreeing with him, I find his posts incredibly insulting.

Just because we have racial prejudices here doesn't mean we need to translate those some prejudices to Ravnica.

<You are a prick>. What you are whining about is not only blown out proportion, but also does not matter and here's why:
One. This a game, made by a bunch of white guys, for a bunch of white guys in country full of white guys, about a place that is based on the politics of, essentially, Europe. Which is a place full of white people. No ****ing **** their games are going to be full of white people. You cannot be surprised that generally people create things based on what they see around them. That's just a simple fact. It's the same reason Indian movies are filled with Indians, Chinese movies are filled with Chinese people, Japanese movies are filled with Japanese people etc.

Two. The making of the game does not reflect any racial prejudice, it simply reflects the society we are living in, and Wizard's target audience. White people. Countries that are predominantly white; Europe, United States, South America. If you are upset at the lack of racial diversity in the western world, where most magic players live, you should go take that up somewhere else.

Three. This is a game. This is not where you should be leading your holy crusade against the lack of racial diversity. Go look at something like government, school districts, income distribution, or something, that in the grand scheme of things, actually matters. Or, if you are even taking a stand about the perception of race by the creators of American culture, you should be looking at something that is broader.

Get off of your high horse. You aren't the savior of minorities all across the United States because you whining about the lack of diversity in MTG card art, and presumably other places. It doesn't matter. It doesn't make you a better, more moral person, that you waste peoples time like this. In fact, the fact that you pointed this out, I would argue makes you worse than the rest of us. Nobody else said a word about this problem, simply because nobody else noticed it. To them all they saw were people. All the same as any other white, black, blue whatever person. And this is actually what every minority in America has ever fought for actually, to be the same as the ruling race, NOT to have <idiots like you> running around and preaching. Point is, only you have this filter of race in front of your eyes. Everyone else just sees people, and I would advise you to start looking at it all the same.
