Controversies[edit]

San Andreas was criticised by some for its perceived racial stereotyping.^[1]^[2]^[3] Some saw the alleged stereotyping as ironic,^[4] while others defended the game, noting that the storyline could speak to people of different backgrounds.^[5] A study in Games and Culture found that youth groups "do not passively receive the games' images and content".^[6]

San Andreas was criticised by some for its perceived racial stereotyping.^[2]^[3] The New York Times said that San Andreas was among the many video games that "played on racial stereotypes"; California child advocate Eileen Espejo added that "limiting what characters of color can do and cannot do in the games sends a message to kids".^[1] Others noted that the storyline could speak to people of different backgrounds. Kotaku opined that some interactions in San Andreas could be portrayed as a lack of racism, noting that characters spoke "without moderating their slang or tone of speech" and "[made] no comments whatsoever about each other's vocabulary, background or speech patterns".^[5]

Academics have studied the effect of perceived racial stereotyping in San Andreas. A 2010 study noted that the game was "laden with stereotypical images of African-Americans" and found that such games "influenced the processing of stereotype associations".^[7]^[8]

study in Games and Culture

Other studies sought to analyse the effect found that youth groups "do not passively receive the games' images and content".^[6]
