The Call-In with Gina Prince-Bythewood

Video games like Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto 5 have made headlines in the last few years thanks to record breaking sales. Those sales exist because video games are hugely popular. About 185 million people in the United States play video games.

It’s no secret that people of all background play video games, its hard to tell that from the lack of diversity among playable characters.

According to a study published in the journal “New Media and Society” in 2009, only 3% of all video games characters can be identified as Latino. And of that 3%, only 5% are characters you can use to play.

As we continue our series on Diversity in Geekdom, Latino USA producer Daisy Rosario speaks with three people who love video games but would like to see things change.

Mary Lordes is a writer at Upright Citizens Brigade and former co-host of the video game podcast Unlimited Lives. David Brothers is a former journalist who works at Image Comics. Vander Caballero is the Creative Director of Minorty Media.

Dr. Alondra Nelson dives deep into the lesser known aspect of the Black Panthers’ struggle for social justice, particularly their focus on healthcare and their efforts to expose the racial discrimination plaguing the medical system of the time, as well as the impact of their work on the African-American community and healthcare system today. She also analyzes the way genealogy testing impacts how people view African-American history.


Alondra Nelson is Dean of Social Science and a professor of sociology and gender studies at Columbia University. She earned her PhD in American Studies from New York University. Her work focuses on the intersection of science, inequality, technology, and medicine.

She is the author of “Body and Soul: The Black Panther Party and the Fight Against Medical Discrimination,” and the co-editor of “Genetics and the Unsettled Past: The Collision of DNA, Race, and History;” “Technicolor: Race, Technology, and Everyday Life;” and “Afrofuturism,” a special issue of “Social Text.”
