I feel so bad for the token african americans Sandi is dragging into this. They are trotting those two out at every opportunity and as far as I know neither is really involved with the game at any level- one's like a video producer and the other is a property manager for their office. I wonder if they know why this woman is suddenly insisting that they get in front of the camera every week? It's disgusting. It is literally the second most racist reaction you could have after being accused of racism. "No I'm not racist! Black person, you are now my accessory and shield against these claims!"

This really is a PR disaster, I mean they've completely forfeited the initiative at this point and are doing strict damage control in the most buffoonish way possible. If rumors started that Sandi was homophobic they'd get the most stereotypical gay people they could find in LA and make them a regular background feature of the show.

We should really do this, strictly for science of course.
But then again, we would be exploiting gay people by proxy.


Also: Aside from Ben wearing the seemingly same shirts every day, money-that dude should wear new hat with a different funny troll on it. Maybe Jurassic Park, or brands, e.g. Phat Farm or Wilkinson...

I'd like to believe that perhaps they took the accusations of racism to heart and realized they were unintentionally all white and said, "Well maybe we should change that."

or it's the obvious "I have black friends" PR move.

I think for something to qualify as a PR disaster it needs a wider audience than obsessive goon shitposters in this thread. The original accusations against Sandi haven't been backed up by the Escapist in any way to my knowledge, which means they shouldn't have even published them in the first place.

You're right. It's totally normal to have so few black employees in your team of 250+ that after three years of twice-weekly on-camera shows, somebody accuses you of racism and people look through your archives and oh poo poo there's no black people.

It's 100% a normal thing for a development office to be accused of racism and then go grab a new hire and an office manager and start putting them on camera every week on the show about answering development questions. I bet that office lady has all sorts of insight into the development of the game! I mean why else would Sandi put her on screen, right? RIGHT?
