Has Reggie really been accepted at Nintendo Japan?

Do you feel Reggie, because he is black, will be accepted by the head honchos at Nintendo Japan including Iwata? Or do you feel racism will stop him from reaching the top level of promotion including possibly a CEO position? Being that he's black, I don't think he will last too long at Nintendo. Poor guy :(

All kidding aside, I do believe there is a strong dislike in the black population over there in Japan.

Prove me wrong, Nintendo! Prove me wrong!

What?

Nevermind, just stop talking. From now on, instead of reading your posts, I'll just glare at the boobage in your avatar briefly, then move on to something that won't dull my brain.

I don't know. In Japan, he is probably joked about as a big dumb ape, or something. Like that big black guy, who is a K1 fighter. They treat him like a gorilla. Here, sure we make fun of his big stature, and such, but I bet the guy gets total respect at NOA.

That's how Japan is still. They're so homogenized, that they rarely have a chance to meet & see real people from different cultures & races.

No, I'm sure they can plenty of chances to 'see,' but giving a shit is a whole different matter.

WTF, what a strange thread to start.

Your name needs to be taken.

I really had no idea that he was black.

Hmm...he may be black, but he's not...must think of the politically correct term for this...the most "token" black person I've ever seen.

Reggie probably just went over the NCL and began yelling and flipping over the conference tables and demanding that Iwata no longer look like a mushroom or else he would take his name and put it on a list to join the special olympics in Mississippi where Iwata would get pwn3d by the freakishly athletic kids who don't look like mushrooms.

In other words, I'm sure Reggie is handling himself just fine.

I didn't notice he's black and really it doesn't matter as long as he kicks asses and takes names.

I'm telling the truth I didn't notice it. I just don't care I find it trivial and many times I can't notice it what colour a person is. And it's not I'm the only one who didn't notice...

Actually I would guess Caribbean, personally.

Anyway, this thread is really stupid because Reggie wasn't even hired to potentially become an executive leader of Nintendo in the future. He's a PR guy and evangelist, first and foremost, not a decision maker.

Well looking at him I thought he was black...I mean, he could be mixed, but I don't think he is. Looks just like a brotha.

By the way, I'm white :)

Racism?!


I can't belive you said that. That's so typical of liberal-xbots.
Always playing the "race-card."

My vote goes to mulatto. Is that word still ok to use, or is it considered 'racist' these days?He certainly aint plain old black, at any rate.

Well, according to CYE, you aren't supposed to say it anymore.

And that's good enough for me.
