I was going to play this game, but was turned off by the fact that no matter how many times I clicked to generate a person, there were no African American characters. There weren't even any who were light enough brown to make you think they might be Asian or Latino.

I don't mean to come off sounding like one of those loonies on a soapbox, but yes, this is a soapbox. The world is not all white. Really, it isn't. Give a little diversity to your virtual families. (Even Flo's Diner has an African American regular customer!)

I'm going to stick with EA's The Sims. It's pricier, sure, but at least I can chose the skin tone and the world isn't white washed.
