War & Hate Too Everywhere

Palestinian children hold toy rifles, BBCActor Danny Glover has joined with Colorblind to produce video games that will not promote hate.

“Many existing games feature Western soldiers shooting Arabs, Afghans and other ethnic ‘enemies,’ as well as bad guys who are consistently of African descent, Latino, Arab or Muslim in general,”

“We think that only reinforces negative stereotypes.

“We’re introducing different types of heroes …to fight corruption, not people of another race.”

Glover said, “I am also excited to be involved in creating heroes for other regions like South Asia and Africa that have been ignored or handled insensitively by the existing game developers.”
