Do black people feel uncomfortable when the black guy gets knocked out in Street Fighter 2?

What would be different if the black guy won in the intro? Would you still play the game? When I first watched it I thought that the white street fighter was a white supremacist.

If you’ll hang on, I’ll go out and ask every black guy out there and let you know. I’ll be right back…

I can’t say that I’ve ever thought to ask a black person if they feel uncomfortable when the black guy gets knocked out in Street Fighter 2.

@Darth_Algar I felt self conscious watching it. The audience in the fight circle are all white. It’s like they are cheering against the black man.

I actually think it’s interesting that you noticed.
I don’t think it would have gone without notice if the races had been reversed – the only white guy present knocked out by a black mob.

They updated the fight. They have a black person in the mob. Sorry I don’t have a link.
