GTA Haitian Controversy

New York City's Human Rights Commission is now getting its hands into the matter...

About two weeks ago, you may remember that Haitian residents of NYC gathered at city hall to protest Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Rockstar Games. The Haitian community was (and still is) outraged by the anti-Haitian sentiment found in certain parts of the game.

According to the New York Post, the controversy may just have been escalated a notch. NYC's Human Rights Commission is now demanding that the phrase "Kill Haitians" be utterly removed from GTA. Furthermore, if Take-Two Interactive (Rockstar's parent company) doesn't comply, Mayor Bloomberg said that the company would have to undergo an invesigation for human-rights violations.

"If I don't get a decent response to [the HRC's letter], we are going to do everything we possibly can," said Bloomberg. "If it's just the bully pulpit, if we can't take legal action, whatever it is."
