Thanks for posting that video, it was a good discussion on the topic from the perspective of a black man. If you read through the comments for a bit, and you should, there are a lot of positive comments from other black gamers and also from a lot of Hispanic gamers with similar experiences to RPGElite. It was also nice to see a few comments claiming they've played with majority black tables for decades!
I'm white, so going in I assumed he would talk about representation in RPGs . . . and he didn't really. I do think that the fantasy genre, and D&D-style games definitely have a representation problem, but . . . that isn't one of the main reasons black people don't play RPGs according to RPGElite.
While watching, I found myself thinking that while RPGs are not big within the African-American community, Star Wars and comics are more widely accepted . . . why is that? Again, I'm white, so this is from an outsider perspective, but . . . I think its representation. Comics made a push for more diversity decades ago and created a number of prominent black characters. Most of these characters were created by white writers/artists and were sometimes painfully stereotypical, but these characters opened the door. For Star Wars . . . it's Lando! Lando was, in a sense, the "token" black character in the original trilogy, but as played by Billy Dee Williams, his impact was greater than his screentime.
