These game and movie lawsuits really piss me off. There's always been a societal push to make media more and more realistic. Then when the development teams really start hitting the nail on the head, everybody's up in arms that its too graphic.

The fact is that the GTA games are based in crime worlds. There are well documented real life disputes between various groups of criminals, many of which had a core of a certain ethnicity. It's not that disputes took place because of the group composition, it was business problems that had related to the groups. So having a part of the game that says "Go kill the Cubans" isn't a slur against the whole group, but a smaller criminal subset - just like a real life reference.

These people need to fucking relax. Just because something has racial/ethnic/religous content doesn't mean its got negative intention. Did you hear there's also some nuts trying to stop the naming of hard drives as "Master" and "Slave" drives!? Who the fuck cares?
