Is that an outlandish title?
Is it as outlandish as changing a cover of a game almost a year after its been released?
When battlefield 1 released it Got a lot of caclash because it featured a black coverboy.. Who is not a boy, but a man Buddha
They screamed that EA was "black washing" WW1. Hate threads, petitions, etc was launched in disgust of these Harlem hellfighters aka stankin naggers.
Here's neogaf's thread on it...

So fast forward to today, turn on your battlefield 1 and you'll get an update for the user interface. 10seconds later, the bald headed white chick is now the cover.
I know some people will go "but it's the revolution" which I'll retort they never changed the cover like this before. This only happened once a black man was put on the cover.
But if you really THINK about it, every game with a black lead gets hated on...
