Top 5 Racist Videogames

5. Spanish for Everyone
System: DS | Release Date: 2007 | Publisher: Activision

Everybit as important as educating children in other languages is teachingthem about other cultures, and it just makes sense to do both at thesame time. And by "teach children about other cultures," we mean,"instill in them a deep and abiding fear of foreigners." Spanish forEveryone gets off to a great start,with your Hispanic friend accidentally stealing your DS and taking offin a shady-looking car that's being chased across the border by policecars. Thankfully, a sultry, innuendo-spouting señorita will give you alift as far as Tijuana, and along the way she "can teach you manythings, and Spanish is definitely one of them." Edutainment is awesome!It only gets weirder from there. Your second lesson is taughtby a talking bull, who eventually departs to "fight in the coliseum ofman against the evil red devil." Followed by a trip to a ramshackletown full of foreboding music, where you are next aided by an"exporter" who has business with the people who own the cop-chased carfrom the intro. When you finally catch the kid who took your DS, heapologizes for the misunderstanding and happily gives it back...butmeanwhile your exporter friend has left you with a mysterious packageand a plane ticket to France. Hm.It's far and away the least offensive game in our lineup, but something about all that definitely gives us the willies. 
4. Punch-Out!!, Super Punch-Out!!, and Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!
System: NES | Release Date:1987 | Publisher: Nintendo

InMike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, Great White Hope Little Mac (or the nameless,wire-framed Great Green Hope in the arcade versions) and his numinousblack trainer tour the world to take on ethnic stereotypes named aftertheir native foodstuffs. Italian pugilist Pizza Pasta and Sovietroughneck Vodka Drunkenski (who later had his name changed to theoff-brand Soda Popinski to reflect the fact that the USSR was toocommunist for Coke's imperialist fifth column) survived Nintendo'scensors. Greasy Pork Sandwich Served in a Dirty Ashtray (who became VonKaiser) didn't. We're making that last one up, but just barely. 
3. Kung Fu Chaos
System: Xbox | Release Date: 2003 | Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios

The dismal failures of Fuzion Frenzy and Whacked! didn't deter Microsoft from foolishly attempting an unprecedented thirdfamily-friendly party game for the original Xbox. That doomed title,Just Add Monsters' Kung Fu Chaos, easily ranks as one of gaming's mostracially insensitive titles...and a pretty lousy Smash Bros.clone, to boot. Perhaps the game was intended as a rib-tickling send-upof classic martial-arts flicks, but its hideously malformed cast ofstraight-up stereotypes features seven slant-eyed, bucktoothed Asians(inappropriately voiced with thick, awkward accents that routinely mixup their L and R sounds). Funny? It's about as hilarious (and tasteful)as Mickey Rooney's turn as Mr. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany's,but the developers attempt to deflect allegations of racism by beingequal-opportunity offenders: You can giggle at the painfully obvioushumor behind trigger-happy blaxploitation starlet Lucy Cannon, blondeditz Candi Roll, or the obese Mexican luchador Captain Won Ton. It's OKif nobody has to feel left out, right? 
2. Freaky Flyers
System: PlayStation 2 | Release Date: 2003 | Publisher: Midway

Jeremy Dunham, IGN critic and presumed connoisseur of knock-knock-joke collections, called Freaky Flyers "the funniest videogame in years."The game's cast, comprised of -- in Dunham's opinion -- the "funniestdamn characters we've seen in eons," includes "Sheik Abdul, an oilbillionaire from the East that loves to race on his flying carpet."Which finally tops that Sumerian cuneiform tablet that told a jokeabout an elephant that asks a camel why its breasts are on its back(the camel replies by asking the elephant why its penis is on its face)for pure wit. Freaky Flyers' instruction manual states: "The oilgazillionaire (depending on today's price of oil), is in the race toget away from his enormous harem that nags and henpecks him at everyturn. His only reprieve is his best friend, Humpy the Camel." Nevermind that this polygamist from "the East" sounds more like an IndianSikh than an Arab when he talks. And forget about his Sikh turban. Thefool rides a flying carpet, and if that isn't sidesplitting, thenStevie Wonder has stopped instructing driving school. Get it? StevieWonder is a musician.Other cut-ups include the bug-eyed, bucktoothed,Engrish-sputtering Sammy Wasabi, who pilots the Kamikaze Express;Island Jack, a laid-back Rastafarian who, according to the manual,rocks "some groovy tunes" (presumably Stevie Wonder's "Boogie On ReggaeWoman"); and Aussie Mick Bungadoo, known for boxing kangaroos andrunning a roadkill BBQ. 
1. Homie Rollerz
System: DS | Release Date: 2008 | Publisher: Destineer

Badas any of the above may be, Homie Rollerz takes the taco. Those littleplastic Homie figures you find in supermarket vending machines aren'texactly paragons of racial sensitivity, but at least they don't freaking talk.Really, the most amazing thing about Homie Rollerz is that if therewere so much as a hint of a nipple in the game, it would've garnered anM rating. Portraying brown people as a bunch of dopey, drawlingcriminals that drive around in giant, wheeled burritos? That getsitself an E for Everyone.
