Meng Squashes Racist Video Game

Earlier this week, we told you about Congresswoman Grace Meng’s (D-NY) objection to the Big-O-Tree Game “Dirty Chinese Restaurant,” the video game that negatively depicted individuals of Chinese descent. Well, her efforts proved successful. The company announced it will not release the game, and the game makers also apologized to the community. “Racism must be called out, whenever and wherever we see it,” said Meng. “I want to thank everyone who joined me and spoke out against the demeaning and negative stereotypes depicted in the video game, Dirty Chinese Restaurant. While I’m pleased that Big-O-Tree Games has decided not to release its racist video game, it is disturbing that something like this would have progressed as far as it did. I hope this company does not live up to its name in future endeavors.” See their statement here.
