Answer 2

Your friends sound like they would grief you for playing any kind of character.  Black, white, male, female, alien.  Your friends are bantering.  Make up some retorts, joke back, move on.

Answer 3

yes of course it is ok to have one

Answer 4

Its your game & its your decision

Answer 5

I guess it's fine as long as you mistreat your character.

Answer 6

hahahahahahahahha play whoever you want hahahahahahhaa

Answer 7

I'm a chick on my game, I like the boobs. I guess you like Mr Sausage. Just kidding. Do what you want. Next they'll be giving you grief at GTA cos you REALLY didn't steal that car.

Answer 8

Okay according to whom?

Answer 9

Your friends are overly sensitive. Just tell them that you're not trying to represent yourself through your black avatar and that it's just a video game. There are farther worse things that your friends should be worried about rather than this sort of dumbness.

Plus I think it would be more offensive to NOT have a diverse group of people in a video game. So you do you.
