I'm just saying that he's the only one not designed by Capcom Japan. It's like if the Brady Bunch took in an orphan. Everyone's nice around him, sure, but he's not really part of the family.
He's like Hyde on that 70s Show. He's everyone's friend, but when the chips fall, who gets blamed for the stolen money?

I think T.Hawk and Boxer are the most racist, especially in the some of the Boxer promo artwork (not just Sf4, but through the years).
But everything is a stereotype in SF I guess.
A side question now:
Has there ever been an outright gay fighting game character yet?

I wasn't aware of Zangief. I knew the actor playing Gief in the Collegehumor SF shorts a few years ago was though.AkumaHokoru said:
I always get a good laugh at people who somehow manage to be offended by SF characters. What fragile and completely sheltered lives they must lead if Dhalsim somehow registers with them as offensive and racist. I wish I could say I'm surprised by that kind of reaction, but alas this is the overly PC, ultra thin skinned and hyper-offended world we live in today. There are people who genuinely believe that SF2 is racist because of the opening where the white guy punches the black guy. Which of course doesn't even touch on the horribly racist characters and terrible stereotypes that game heaped upon us.
I just fail to see how lighthearted caricatures designed to give a game variegation in aesthetics and styles of play is seen by anyone as insulting or crossing a line. Now if Balrog lobbed watermelon projectiles or if Fuerte was depicted as a lazy janitor? Sure, that's_racist.gif. But the game has nothing at all near that kind of racist tone. It's like if a character depicts anything close to a stereotype (which do exist in real life), it gets lumped in with the most heinous, racist and actually offensive ones. For this game not to be "offensive" do we need 1 bland character type with 35 palette swaps? Because then we'd be playing KOF, and I say FUUUUUU to that.

I am offended by both your KOF comment and your butchering of the word variation.

Benimaru has always been looked at as gay but he's a male fashion model so he's just like that. (he's SUPER gay)

Saying Mexicans are lazy is racist, saying Mexicans eat tortillas isn't.

And those are cultural stereotypes. Racism has to do with genetics.
Saying Jews are inherently conniving is racist. Saying Jews bake Matzo bread or know Krav Maga isn't.

I should try and hook my stick up to my computer and do some sort of wizardry so going from down to back triggers it. Maybe just my imagination, but seems like pressing a button takes slightly more time and concentration than moving a stick does.
