Then you never played Rainbow Six or Rogue Spear or Ghost Recon for that matter then have you? No main character and the characters are different races, ethnicities and sexes.

Funny.. I'm playing Shadows of the Damned, who happens to star a Hispanic character.... The Ballad of Gay Tony starred one as well, de la Republica Dominica. Staying with Grand Theft Auto, how about San Andreas? The main character was black. Your argument doesn't hold much water. It's never the developers that are racist. It's people who are always trying to find racist things in everything. It reminds me of a debate I had when it was revealed that Resident Evil 5 was racist because "you only killed black zombies." I'm sure they'd cry foul when they replaced the black zombies with white ones. *shrugs*

Having a hard time thinking of someone who's Australian, but the past two Assassin's Creed games and the upcoming star an Italian. And again, going back to Grand Theft Auto, Vice City starred an Italian character, voiced by an Italian actor, Ray Liotta.

I wouldn't call the numbers outward racism, it's just obvious target marketing since whites are more likely to be using the latest technology.

Probably because they chose so ? That makes them racist ? Oh dear...

Anyway, to answer your thread


Liu Kang (MK) is Asian

Carl Johnson (GTA:SA) is Black

Mike LeRoi from Shadow Man is Black

Mage from Diablo is Black

Malcolm (Unreal Tournament) is Black

Those are just some that came to my mind, there's plenty or different colored main characters in games, if that even matters :S

Probably one of the most famous video game characters in the history of video games is Italian?

Zaeed Massani, Kano, Ezio Auditore di Firenze... What is important about artists using people from cultures that have no relevance to their game just to appeal to the complaints of people spouting "racism!" whenever their ethnic minority isn't represented in their favourite game? Seems to me that you are more concerned about your own ethnicity than experiencing what others can bring to the cultural table.
