Can anyone name an Indian character from a game? Except for Apoo from the Simpsons games of course.

Well if you are going to take Japanese games as a mirror to racial stereotypes then I wonder why the Japanese think of Caucasians as effeminate, moping, self absorbed...ahem

Slum Dog Millionare anyone? Why is that a film that portrays a race of people who have had hardly any screen time other than in local productions as actually being normal people suddenly the toast of Hollywood?

Why in GTA4 was the main character non conformal to what a main character should be? (charismatic, handsome, american) Polish people I have talked to snigger a bit but actually love the guy.

Stereotypes are being broken but for the races with much media coverage then we have a long way to go to dispell the myths perpatrated by ourselves (the media industry, lookng for a quick buck)

The US upholds its patent laws as first to invent and not first to file so there is hope yet.

On one hand I do find it sad that they are targetting a struggling company and would hope in a show of goodwill that more successful companies that deal in the MMO business create a fighting fund for NCSoft to throw these guys off (if needed of course, Im sure snorting certain substances off a strippers breasts is not the only way to unwind after a hard day at court :P )

On the other hand, patent laws must be respected otherwise why try to invent or innovate if others can just take all your hard work and run with it.
