This is pretty common across all gaming media sites, the gaming community is full of racists and gatekeepers in general.

The most diversity is probably in the esports circuits, but that's because that's equal opportunity, and requires actual skill

Can't remember the last time I went to ign.com for anything.

Breh in my first year of college a professor straight up stood in front of the class and said they (media companies) don't want minorities in the offices. They're comfortable in their racism and don't want you around.
At least he was honest.

What’re some good black-owned video game review channels, blogs, etc?

Millennial black kids are huge gamers and a ton of them have there own YouTube channels because places like IGN won’t hire them. Same goes for black game developers.
