Is LocoRoco Racist?

[mog]

black is a dark colour.
white is a light colour.

dark, darkness, shady, shadowy, murky, gloomy, etc...
It just happens that dark colours are usually used to describe and represent evil, black being the darkest colour and therefore the best for this.

light, bright, sunny, shiny, glow, illumination, radiance, etc...
It also just happens that light colours like white and other pale colours are used to describe and represent good/holy.

Also, light can be used to mean happy, cheerful, untroubled, joyful...
Whilst dark can be used to mean sinister, threatening, mysterious, depresing, bleak, sad, unhappy, and finally: evil.

So why is it hard to see why black is used for the bad guy?
It doesn't have anything to do with racism, stupid moron.

There is a difference between someone takeing a hit off a joint and somone with a heroin needle stuck in there arm. So should society differentiate between a
racist and a hate criminal? Just waxing philosophical Guys what do you think?

Ohhh.... Umm.. Yeah..
Yeah all my black friends they completely suck at magic, Not like white people at all, with our complete mastrry of the supernatural an all LOL, Why just the other day I was at mcdonalds and they gave me and my friend cold fries, and I told him why not just use magic to warm them up, And he said he couldnt because he was black So I just cast firega and saved the.... um.... day and stuff........ um.... yeah.. Cause as you know us white people um we umm can uhhh. cast magic I suppose lol HAHAHAHA

However, As funny as my reply may have been,
You make a very clear and very true point. Black people have been sterotyped in videogames almost a full 100% of there apearences Since day one.

Oh my lord, this is almost as racist as when mario blows up bomb-ombs because they're black. We must put a stop to this.

HA! Man this blog guy has no life. I bet you all my PSP that before his "locoroco is racist" rant, his blog hit were really low down and now they're soaring! His same logic (ie that because it appears this "certain" way, it must be so, without regards to historical or contextual factors) is applicable to the KKK. Seriusly, visit their site and see for yourself. There is never any mention of an historical factors at all, no scientific facts. Basicly they have some very obscure bible phrases, which, to be honest, can be applied to anything. (I dont mean to start any debates on the bible, I'm just saying, how can anything represent its original meaning after translation through several languages, some of whihc are no longer spoken or fully understood?)

Many people doesn't realize one important thing: there's not even a SINGLE person ih the WHOLE world that is BLACK! The closest to black are the africans who are really dark brown. But look at their hands, they're not COMPLETELY dark brown, so, they're not like mojas XD
