Next Protagonist Ethnicity?

...and the reason why I hate the LC Triads is because they are mentally retarded.Look at the way they dress...

Do you expect every illegal Chinese immigrant straight off the boat from Hong Kong to sport designer suits and glasses do you? Not even most hardworking Americans can afford that type of attire. The Liberty City Triads dressed according to their nature, which was an street gang made up of illegal immigrants. Nothing more.

 

 

...and the way they speak with stuff like "I see pain in your future!","Now it fits in your pocket!"(GTA3),and even the offensive and stereotypical "Me no speaky Chinese"(LCS)

 

Rockstar games are always filled with stereotypes, it's just their way. I doubt you'll ever see a minor character or gang in the GTA universe who isn't fueled by prejudice and stereotypes. You can't blame The Triads for something Rockstar did.

 

 

The San Fierro Triads were alright,but Woozie was an annoying prick.I mainly liked the SF Triads for their weapons and styles.True gangsters.

 

I personally like Woozie, though that's my opinion. The San Fierro Triads were like that because in-real life The Triads have a lot stronger presence in San Francisco than they do in cities like New York. You also have to remember that "Triad" is an umbrella term thats used to describe any criminal organization of Chinese or Hong Kong descent. There isn't one big "Triad organization" across the world, it's made up of hundreds of seperate groups.

No Triads is an orginization that consist of numerous different Triad groups. Triads can only be from China. American immigrants are usually consdered to be involved in Tongs and they are different from Triad groups.

I'd much rather play as a Tong charcter then a Triad charcter because they are more like American street gang types and because Tongs have had very little or no representation in GTA.

Would it be possible that the next character will work for one of the gangs present in the new GTA universe?

 

IV is the start of a new GTA world, so the gangs that will carry on will be:

 

Russians

Irish

Mafia

 

Those were the major ones, so I'm guessing we'll be working for one of them. Since the McReary's were so big in IV, I'd be bold enough to think the next game would be about Irish organized crime, it should be anyway.
