Comeon, GTA3 made fun of everyone. If you don;t like ethnic stereotypes, don't play the game. It's also a little late, this game has been out for a year. If they think these games are bad, wait till they see Rockstar's new game 'Manhunt' which lets you kill someone cinematically using a plastic bag.

Frankly this seems a little more disturbing than Haitan accents.

GTA3 portrayed Blacks, Hispanics, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Jamaicans, Columbians, etc. as criminals. Are these not the typical backgrounds of gangs, drug dealers, Asian triads, and the mafia?

I have to say GTA:VC rocks. I just passed the part where you use a rooftop assault rifle to protect the Cuban druglord from a gang of Uzi-wielding Haitians. No offense to either victim-group, of course. I was a little concerned that the lead character/killer's name is Tommy Vercetti. What have the developers got against Polish people;)

Vice City is an awesome game.

Not reality. Not a documentary. It's just a game, folks. (Man, is that chainsaw sweet)

The Haitian Centers Council and Haitian Americans for Human Rights say the game "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" promotes racism against Haitians, depicting them as criminals.

Yes, and also Cubans, Italians, Irish musicians, white bikers, and more.

Also, in GTA3, Jamaicans along with Mexicans, Italians, white people, etc. were all criminals.

They make fun of everybody. Italians, Cubans, Haitians, Conservatives, Liberals, Talk Radio, PBS, Bikers, Rednecks, yuppies, anticommunists, hippies, and commies.

The game parodies everybody, and is hilarious.

These people need to get a life. It doesn't depict Haitians as criminals. It depicts ALL Hispanics as criminals. Yeesh...

But, Haitians ARE integrity challenged! Maybe, there are some Haitians who are honest or have integrity but, I've never met one either in Haiti, Miami or Toronto. Nice people, warm people, but don't leave anything laying around lose, in the open, except, maybe, soap (unless it has perceived value in a market, then it's gone, as well).

Simply equating lack of integrity with Haitians is not racism. This is what the PC neocommunists do, call a generalization by a negative label, thereby, discounting the generalization, no matter how accurate it might be.

Tommy Vercetti says:"There's just no better way of relieving steam than to pummel some old folks on the golf course."

And another thing, GTA-VC is set in a sudo-MIAMI setting,of course there's going to be cubans!!!

OMG, a SHARK!!!!!!!!!!!!
