I'm worried when you find out most groups of friends make so many racial jokes based on racial stereotypes. This game can be condemned but its existence isn't reflective of anything new.

As someone who reported health code violations for a newspaper for 4 years, I can assure these idiot devs that Chinese restaurants are among the best at following regulations.
Now your local Hardee's...that's a different story. :/

What about IHOP?

Don't remember anything particularly bad about IHOP.
I can tell you though: Never get ice from a gas station soda fountain.
it does have something to do with gaming if we say "nothing to do with gaming", and therefore gaming tacitly approves of it
The actual point of satire is lost on a lot of people and they just take it at face value.

Jintor, you just almost described all most all my favorite Chinese restaurants in japan, except all the waiters are super sweet.

Dave Chapelle really struggled with that. The "blind black KKK member" sketch was meant to highlight the stupidity of racist attitudes, but racist people found it hilarious without realizing they were the butt of the joke. Genuinely good satire, which this game is not, runs the risk of being too subtle and having its point lost.

Can't see them getting away with making this kind of game about other races. Asians seems like the goto punching bag for edgy racists.
"We're racist! Hahaha!"
Well congrats; they've achieved their edgy and righteous goal of making SJW snowflakes' arguments invalid and putting the bleeding heart liberal voices in a shameful stupor. All they had to do was attack the easiest and most innocuous target---the model minority. Making us seem like perpetual foreigners in a country where we were born is such a unique and thought provoking statement. Well done big o tree games, please port this to switch.

This can't be racist. Just ask Colin Moriarty.
And Big O Tree games are a beacon of light in a totally stuck up world. They are probably suuuuuper kneeling at the national anthem. Finally, some truly punk rock developers.

That press release from Bigotry Games is a roll call for "signs of an asshole".
That's been something I've been mulling over, Cartman was designed to be dead baby humor cuz he's this hateful little shit and the shock is what drove his humor. Thing is now, with shitheads like Cartman in real life doing that, it not only doesn't seem as funny (as it's not sincere), but also can get confused like how you did: that it was sincere.
Frankly, I feel characters like Cartman not only should be shelved for a bit, but need to for that reason.

Are you serious? Even if there was a choice being presented, the game is still racist in every other aspect. The developers are literally named "bigotry". The motive is crystal clear.
Id be shocked if this comes out on the App Store. Google play seems more of a free for all though so it will likely come out there.
I wish the game hadnt been called out though. Now its going to be noticed and actually get sales from idiots. Wouldve been much better to just ignore it and let it fade into obscurity when it comes out.

Not being racist isn't being politically correct. It's being a normal human.

My hometown, and yes it has a huge asian makeup. This is extremely surprising for me as I haven't seen this type of racism in a long time around Toronto and it's even more surprising considering it's a studio within Markham.
For those who don't know the demographic, it's like the equivalent of a game studio in Compton making a game that is blatantly racist against Blacks.
I've never understood this argument.
Being racist or sexist doesn't make you exciting or funny. It just makes you racist or sexist.
Not to mention Lazy, and banking on selling to other bigots not because they like your game but because "lol, you triggered?"
It's because for some people, it's really hard to to be ___ist all day, and sometimes they just want to let loose and release all of the things they've been holding back.
Yeah! We need racism to save us from the oppressive boredom of people not being giant assholes!
You may have a shitty worldview, man...

Wonder why none of these anti-PC, lol so edgy assholes never make their satire products from the heaps of negative stereotypes about white people. Gee, almost like they want to be patted on the back for punching down to minorities and not offending the delicate sensibilities of similar edgelords.

Has anyone made a game like this without the dumb racist overtones? Because the idea of a game where you manage a restaurant in a Roller Coaster Tycoon sort of way sounds fun.

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
My friend was a health inspector and claimed the opposite.
Now now, no need of that. Hail Colin!
So is ironic racism tbh. We get it. You're edgy as fuck so hila...zzzzzz
They can kneel at all national anthems.
More boring that 200 year old stereotypes?

Exactly.. As an Asian I hate it when people act racist towards Asians act like it's nothing but it becomes a big deal for any other race including towards Whites
Asians become the punching bag of racism in the West when they can't be racist towards anybody else. How about don't be racist at all?
