[QUOTE="Luigi_Vincetana"][QUOTE="hurley_house"][QUOTE="Luigi_Vincetana"][QUOTE="farrell2k"]Why is the prince of PERSIA a white guy all of a sudden?hurley_houseHe's always been white. It's not exactly racist (White Arabs and Persians are more common then you'd think) But it is a little disappointing to see Middle Eastern characters Americanized to make them more popular. Ubisoft also did this in Assassin's Creed. All the Assassin's are completely (Though not stereotypically) Arabic, from there appearance to their accents, but Altair was pretty much American (Save for his Islamic sounding name*). *Speaking of his name; Why was his descendant named Desmond, which is a Jewish name, when Altair is Islamic? Was this intentional or purely a result of complete ignorance? i know its not exactly racist but its very sad that these developers have to amerocanize the prince of persia to appease the mass, i found it rather insulting to be honest. Blame Al-Qaeda, Husein and Ahmadinejad (Amongst some others) for giving Middle Easterners a bad name. Though like yourself, I'm Arabic, I really can't find this insulting when I completely understand were Ubisoft is coming from. Still as I said earlier, it is definitely disappointing. thats just BS your telling me just because of a few people a whole race should be openly discriminated against, because thats what it is discrimination when the prince of persia has to be cocasian in order for him to be liked more and accepted. and what about the likes of hitler stalin and siman cowel, by your view on this we shouldnt have to put up with playing as a cocasian because of them. Hitler and Stalin are evils of the past. Back when they were "the big threat" to western society, Germans and Russians were unpopular too. It's not like this doesn't happen to other races too. Another similar example is America is viewed as the idiot nation here in Australia almost purely based on idiot Presidents they've had (and Texas).
