During my evening I was watching Newsround. And it has reported that Hitman 2 has been seen as racist for Sikhs. Now here are the reasons:

Alot of the people u kill where turbens
It is set in a place of Sikh worship

Now this is seen as racist.

Changes are being made:

All images of Sikhs are being removed from the web site
The game is being changed, moved locations
and the enemies are being changed

Is this game Racist?

You can run through a church with dual machine guns firing rapidly.

Sue them.

I doubt they would have made a game where you infiltrated the Vatican and then filled the pope full of lead.

I don't think they meant to be racist. But they should have looked at the game and seen that it did look a bit racist.

I do not think it is racist. I mean all of the cab drivers in GTA 3 are wearing turbens, but is that seen as racist? Or the fact that lots of games do involve holy places such as ED and TS2. There are many holy places in many games, so can any one here tell me its racist?

Anyway the poepl in the article were obviously under 15 even though the game is rated that!

I just saw that, it was set in a Gurdwara like the Golden Temple, and killing sikhs inside a Gurdwara pretty offensive to sikhs . 47 Can also change into their clothes, which could also be deemed racist :-(

They're more bothered about the fact that there are murders in a holy place than the fact that they are shown in a bad light.

It's no more racist than every WW2 game
