Cuban American Bar Association Condemns Racially Charged Video Game (thanks Chris Johnson and Gamasutra (registration required)) has word of the latest unhappy reaction to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, as the Cuban American Bar Association (CABA) has sent a letter "to the manufacturers of the video game... condemning the game's use of racially charged remarks promoting the hate and killing of Haitians and Cubans," demanding an apology to each group. They copy U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft and Florida Governor Jeb Bush , as they are also "seeking the removal of the offensive video game from store shelves throughout the country." Finally: "CABA's letter quotes the Haitian government spokesperson, Mr. Mario Dupuy, who stated, 'this racist game is psychologically extremely dangerous and is an incitement to genocide.'"

"Dear CABA,

Thank you for your thought provoking letter. In addition, thank you for the extra million copies the game has sold, as your grievances have been aired across the nation. With your help, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has become a hot seller once again.

If there is any way we could further offend you, say between Halloween and Christmas of 2004, please don't hesitate to let us know. The Christmas season is one of our biggest times, and we could use your help.

Thanks again!

Love,

Rockstar."
