Okay, so I'm a bit sluggish now, but a friend told me something I had to check out, and I took a round of Battlefield 2. Astounded over what I found, I played some SF to confirm my beliefs. And lo, I was convinced.

We can say that the training for being a medic, special forces operative, sniper or engineer is more "brainy" than that of a basic assault guy; that is, more fancy equipment, less big guns. So behold the skin colours of these particular kits! The more "gunny" of them have all African-American (I'm trying to be diplomatic) skins, while the "brainy" are all "white".
And in SF, none of the special forces teams have Afro-American skins! Why? None of the blacks made it through?

I'm not sure where I'm going (or who's computer this is), but there IS a pattern, isn't there? Also, my friend said, in BF2142, if the EU wears armour, they're black. If not, they're white. If the PAC wears armour, they're big mean Russkies. If not, they're small Chinese people. Stereotypes, generalisations, small-Asians-and-whites-don't-wear-armour-only-big-black-and-Russian-people-do. Oh my. Oh my!

What do you say? Is there a deep Aryan conspiracy left in Sweden, or was a graphic designer just watching too many war films (and failed to catch Animal Mother in FMJ)? Or is it all some mystical, cosmical coincidence?

Ive heard this before...all the heavy weapons are operated by black guys and smarts (medic reviving) is used by white guys......BULLSHIT.

I think its just a sign of the times.

I don't think so.  The people who made this game did such good research that they called them medics.

This has been done many, many times.  I know at least twice by myself and numerous times by others.

It even goes to the extent that when you spawn as support/assault, and switch kits to medic, you'll stay 'black' and you'll even have an entirely different, more 'black' voice yelling CLEAR! and First Aid, Here!

Well I guess then the generalization is that white people are wimps and the black people are the tough ones

I had a black medic guy revive me once. Maybe you can edit your skin color? But seriously, he was there, and I got revived. That's my experience, also I think I've seen a white AT guy. I know I've seen some unusual things that deviate from the norm, such as this skin color thing.

This happens if you switch kits. You retain your skin color. Also if you get revived and automatically pick up the nearest kit.

Well the Black dudes get more body armor, ergo they live longer, ergo some one thinks black people should live longer than whitie, ergo DICE prefers them darkies.

Its COD 1 actually, and I use it for all forums, and since COD is better than BF2 (barely, just barely) i used a COD picture. I'm to lazy to make multiple sigs.
