Minorities and video games

So apparently the talk of the town today is gaming. CNN.com Tech section has a very interesting AP article on the representation of minorities in video games as they're lead tech story. In the article Jason Della Rocca, executive director of the International Game Developers Association, states "we're seeing, to a large extent, that the games that are being designed unconsciously include the biases, opinions and reflections of their creators." I found this to be a very interesting quote being that more than 80% of programmers are white. Overall an interesting article and a good read.

Then CNN on air was also pushing a week old AP article entitled "Programmers: Video games need a woman's touch." It was actually just about the same article as above, just replace minorities with woman.
