Ignorent Culture

I kinda missed the point of the assignment which is my idea of an educational video game. I think that many Americans suffer from cultural ethnocentrism or a belief that there way of life and culture is superior. I can't begin to count how many times I've heard people (factory works, people generally uneducated past high school) see a oriental or Latin American and sometimes even an African American and spit racist obscenities. In my game I would have the player travel to different places and learn about the people and culture with the help of an interepreter. The learning value in this game would be limitless from food to history and language to art forms. I would hope this would help irradicate some of the racist boundaries that exist if applied to the right audience. The culturaly ignorent.
