    Because black and white people have had differences in the past. 
     
    Being Canadian, I've only read about these things; but it's an important part of history.

    The only way to avoid this is to make it into a Pokemon Ranger game.

    People in America are too sensitive.
     
    If people are claiming something as simple as "Pokemon Black" and "Pokemon White" are racist, either they are a control freak or they are racist themselves. Yet, no one had a problem with "Pokemon Red" or "Pokemon Yellow."
     
    It is like how some people think the world "innocent" is perverted. It isn't perverted, they just have a dirty mind.
     
    This is why we can't have nice things!

    Well, Native Americans, blue skinned peoples, and Asians already had their day in the sun with R/B/Y.

    My brother has a female monk named "Miss Innocent" on Guild Wars who he enjoys using to help people get over the shiverpeaks (tutorial area) at Christmas, and almost all of his friends that don't play games think he is a pervert, while people who do play games think he is awesome, because then people don't miss out on New Years and awesome hats.
     
    I have had people tell me the word "virgin" is dirty before too. Then again, I live in North Carolina (bible belt).
