Nazi aliens (haven't played Killzone, but know about it, I'm guess they are the bad guys right?) from a piece of fiction wearing masks with red glowing eyes (within an icon, no less) =/= 'stereotypical' (a.k.a. the funky hair/glasses) but real African Americans
And people techniqually defining 'Creatures', all you guys are doing is ignoring all the connotations that go with the word. No matter what your beliefs, Humans are more then what the word 'creatures' implies them to be. Sure, if you want to remove ALL context behind the word, go ahead, but to do that then the word itself shouldn't exist in the first place (since English and all languages came and/or changed via the contexts of words changing).
EDIT: Also, the context of the icon itself has to be considered. Everything else a part from the evil alien are literally animals (within the imagine), and I was unable to find ANY other 'person' icon within the Creature sub-section (smiley faces don't count)... Why are not the Elves considered Creatures when African Americans are? Only thing that comes close is the clown icon (witches in many legends are considered human, more of a mythical creature), and clowns themselves are a cover and not an actual person.

First of all, the Helghast aren't alien Nazi's.... they're British white humans from earth that were condemned to a certain planet. :| Second of all, why does it matter? Who cares. It's freaking avatars. If there was a picture of a stereotypical nerdy white guy and no black guy would you have posted this complaining? Hell no. Nobody would have. Because racism only counts when it's against black people these days. And people like you, and the guy right under you that replied saying he doesn't like it, are generally SUPPORTING racism by making a big deal about it and making it into some kind of debate. If anybody's racist, you are for making this topic. :|How can they be British when they are Helghast? a.k.a. British accents doesn't mean they are British. (British accents are used for the purpose of the game, German accents would be FAR to obvious)
Helghast itself sounds like a german word, they launched a Blitzkrieg (via Wikipedia, I'm guess that is what they called it in the game). Saying they aren't Nazi even though there is obvious Nazi comparisons (yes, Germans losts the first world war, and hence were condemned... oh... Like the Helghast!). And they themselves are superhuman, "The planet's harsh environment forced the Helghast to adapt and mutate so much that they can no longer be considered human."
SO... There goes the Helghast argument.
Fictional Nazi non-humans who kill and murder are considered Creatures right next to REAL African Americans.
Helghast = points invalid.
Question: Do I see a nice white guy in a tie in the Creature list, or a yellow guy in a ninja suit? Hell no.
Please, your arguments are weak and pathetic. Meh, I'm willing to give Sony the benefit of the doubt if they remove it asap. So far, no convincing arguments against it have come up.
It appears that you are the racist one.....
Everytime I read the paper or watch the news and I hear somebody crying racsim, I just shake my head at that person. Its because of people like TC that i do. Stop crying wolf whenever something hurts your feelings. Its not always about your race, and untill you figure this out nobody is going to take you seriously.
