Is Trevor Racist?

I don't think this was asked yet, so I'll bring it up, do you think Trevor is racist? I don't know why, but I can oddly picture him perfectly in one of them KKK cross-burning things mercie_blink.gif but still, would you guys be offended if Trevor (or any other protagonist of the V Trillogy) is racist? I probably wouldn't mind, given that I've put up with so many racists in my life that I've actually gotten used to their slurs and whatnot.

I want protagonists that I like, because if Trevor is racist I will not like him. BUT... R* said that we will play as both the prot. and the ant. So it would be fine for me if Trevor betrayed the team becuase of Franklin (because he is black).

From what I can gather Trevor is a sociopathic redneck, not unlike Marty J. Williams from Vice City Stories. I remember as soon as the character of Trevor was revealed that he instantly reminded me of him so yeah, it's possible that Trevor is racist.

Racism is bad, yes. But it's a satire of reality. R* could get away with it as easy as Goodfellas with Samuel L. Jackson. Honestly, crass humor would be right at home in a GTA game and while I'm not racist in the least, I'm sure if Trevor was, it'd end up being for comedic value.

yeah I get what your saying, but GTA seems to attract all types of media attention and since the media like to take things out of context they'll prob end up saying "creators of GTA are racist" or some bullsh*t like that. People hear something and automatically think its bad even though they have no first hand experience into the whole story.

The phrase 'Theres no such thing as bad publicity' is no stranger to R*. They intentionally push bounds. It gets them more sales. All Hot Coffee did was get Jack Thompson another boot in his face and put Grand Theft Auto's name in the news even more. Nothing like free advertising.

Possibly, but they'll be incorrect and Rockstar won't give a sh*t anyway.

I can already tell that Trevor will be my favorite character because I like the way they've described his character. I don't think he is racist, he is a paranoid sociopathic meth-head...he probably hates everything.g. I would love it if Trevor was very fond of Chop though.

I agree with you. I think Trevor just hates people who annoy him/ get in his way. Not only that but I can also see him not being 100% white. I can see him being maybe 12.5% Mexican or Native American.

 

And it wouldn't be the first time a gta character was racist. I remember derrick mcreary in gta 4 calling black people "ni**ers" one time.

He's not racist at all. He does have brown spots on his shirt after all. Of course you know that OP.

Yes, Trevor is racist.

 

He is white, and has been heavily speculated to hold a dislike toward Franklin, who is black.

 

Confirmed. Trevor is a racist.

I like race humour. I don't care what "race" - I find it equally funny. e.g. the scene in San Andreas when Sweet and Kendl are arguing about dating Cesar and Sweet says "What about when you have kids? Leroy Hernandez don't sound right" and Kendl says "his name isn't Hernandez you racist f*ck" and Sweet says "Well Leroy Lopez then."

 

Trevor should have and probably does have a hate for other races.

It's a bit like Rocco in TBoGT.

 

The exchanges he had with Luiz were absolutely hilarious. Both were aiming racial slurs at each other, so it doesn't really matter what colour/ethnic is at the receiving end, it's all simply just entertaining and humorous dialogue at the end of the day. I would laugh just as much if an insult along the lines of....'yeah whatever you pasty assed, butter-head cracker jack"...were to be aimed at Trev or Mike.

 

It's only the hyper-sensitive, politically correct slaves who spit the dummy at such things.

I bet that there will be tons of ethnic slurs in V, against whites, blacks, latinos, asians, middle easterns and so forth...is contemporary California after all.

He's crazy, but not that crazy! I doubt that he's racist.

Another race bait thread, aye?

You're just as racist just by saying he "looks racist".

Let me ask you this sunshine;

What has Trevor said that was racist? Care to elaborate? Or are you insinuating that all whites from the country are racists? Is that what you're saying?

 

Even if, so what? Most of the world is racist. Stop being nancy sensitive vagina.

He looks like he hates blacks and gays, but maybe him teaming up with a black man will change his views smile.gif

Indeed. I too find that sort of humour amusing. Yeah Trevor seems to be a stereotypical redneck so really you'd expect nothing less.
