She should research, who bought board games in the past, who buys them now. It's business. The left constantly rants about single, minority mothers have to slave away at two jobs to make ends meet- but she has free time for board games?

As kids, we played games as a family and with friends. Once video games became popular, hours of 'Monopoly' couldn't compete. That leaves the family; how many hood rats are sitting around a table with mom & dad playing 'Clue'?

As if I needed another reason to drink.

The nonstop stupidity and fake outrage and manufactured crises from these asshats is really getting to me.

Chess and checkers are board games, too. Although, their designers racial makeup is somewhat murky due to the passage of time.

Does every activity, and every creator in each activity, have to meet strict racial quotas? I’m sure this will go over big in the R&B and Rap/hip-hop sectors of the music industry. Eminem has to realize he was just a token.

Wonder when someone will do the study on why the nba is not as “diverse” as the rest of the country?

game researcher Tanya Pobuda...: the world of board games is a “white-male dominated space.”

That's because space IS dominated by White Males! (Yeager, Crossfield, Shepherd, Glenn, Armstrong and Young) HA!

White and Asian males are the primary audience for video games and board games.

Just like pussies, snowflakes, lesbians, and eunuchs are the primary audience for CNN and liberal universities.

Big deal.

If the Left would be happy with more inclusiveness, that would be understandable, however all of this social science whining on endlessly seems to be more about simply spoiling everyone’s fun. Christmas is not nearly the event it was because of these asshats, Halloween too. We can’t possibly enjoy Thanksgiving either without being lectured and having the fun sucked out of everything. People have a basic need for a harvest season celebration (or two) and a mid-winter celebration. They also should be able to retreat into board games with their friends when the entertainment industry gets so preachy that movies, tv, and books no longer qualify as entertainment.
ENOUGH!!!!!! We need to find these privileged petulant social dictators and drag them into the light!

newsflash, Potumba - North America is predominantly white. Whose people live in a free land, bought and paid for in generations of blood, a freedom that enables innovation and creativity. It’s like going to India and complaining that all the legislators are Indian. Get over yourself.

The situation is actually just as bad, if not worse, when it comes to traditional board games, according to game researcher Tanya Pobuda, who says that much like the video game community, the world of board games is a “white-male dominated space.”

...

When is Tanya going to study the NBA or the local jail?

Remember, in the words of Dustbin Turd-owe, we cannot use the word 'mankind', rather we need to use the word 'peoplekind'. We must be inclusive! After all, diversity is our strength.
