A cross between Monopoly and gangsta culture, Ghettopoly was created by a Taiwanese-American who lives in Pennsylvania and loves rap videos. The game sold briskly when it was released a month ago but has been censured by the NAACP and Urban Outfitters, which removed the game from its stores because of picketing.
If the creator of the game were black or Latino, the protests might not have been as vociferous. I admit that the game is more palatable to me because the idea originated from a non-white person. But for most Americans, there's no difference between an Asian or a white.
